Lucas will likely return for the second year of his deal with the Jazz so long as his contract is not used in a trade, the Deseret News reports.

Analysis:

Lucas' $1.6 million deal is not guaranteed for next season, though the Jazz are likely to bring him back to reprise his role as a reserve point guard. The 31-year-old averaged only 3.8 points on 32.6 percent shooting in 42 games last season, but he's a solid three-point threat (34.7% career) and cheap veteran option.
