Imperial Fez Finally Back in the Beehive State

Having a "real center" on board will make D-Will do a flip, although hopefully not off a cliff into the water this time.

On the final day of his offseason, restricted free-agent center Kyrylo Fesenko agreed to re-sign with the Utah Jazz.

Sources with knowledge of the deal told ESPN.com that Fesenko ultimately passed on a multiyear offer from the Houston Rockets on Sunday and will soon sign his one-year qualifying offer with Utah worth just over $1 million.

Luxury-tax concerns prevented Utah from offering Fesenko more, but bringing Fesenko back was a high priority for the Jazz with big man Mehmet Okur sidelined indefinitely as he recovers from heel surgery.

Although Houston offered a longer deal, Fesenko ultimately decided to take the one-year deal with the Jazz, which sets him up to be an unrestricted free agent next summer.
