In November, Jeff Zilgitt of USA Today reported that officials from the Jazz and the league office were pushing to revive the old Rocky Mountain Revue summer basketball league in Utah — perhaps as early as this coming summer. The push has continued since, and several sources at the Showcase said the league appears on track to host a four- or six-team summer league in Utah this year. An announcement could come soon.

Would love to see the Jazz get the RMR back.

Especially since the Orlando showcase sucks so bad. In fact we should reinstate it just to specifically troll Orlando. . .

What's your beef on Orlando? A team that skipped a future superstar making him available for us. Because he is going to be a superstar right? Right? :D *hysterical laugh
 
Love me some RMR. Me and my boys would be there for sure!

They say this every year, but then again DL makes good things happen. I wonder how many issues have arisen from 18 year olds with big checks in Vegas...
 
I miss the RMR. I used to go to every game like camping out 18 hours per day at SLICK. I was there so much in 2006 that I actually befriended Sap Brewer DWill and Araujo kind of because I kept buying popcorn and stuff and telling them id fill CJ's locker with it if they gave me a pass across the security. CJ was a bloke he'd jackpot around the sidelines trying to get in rap battles with fans. I never liked that guy.
 
I loved the rmr also. Used to go to almost every game every year.

I remember going when it took place at east high school gym. If you got there early enough it was free..... and only a dollar to get in anyways. I remember sitting next to blue Edwards in the crowd. Getting shoes from dana barros, John crotty, etc.

Shawn Kemp was the best player I ever saw at the rmr.

Those were the days
 
Will the RMR be in addition to, or in place of, the Las Vegas SL?
 
Some of my fondest memories were taking a few days off with my dad and hanging out at the RMR. Good times.
 
Jody Genessy: The revived Rocky Mountain Revue will be small, but the Jazz have received a lot of interest from NBA teams to participate. Twitter @DJJazzyJody

Jody Genessy: I've been told the Rocky Mountain Revue will indeed be back in Utah this summer, adding to reports from @Jeff Zillgitt and @Zach Lowe

In addition to; Las Vegas will NEVER go away. I'm sure the RMR would siphon off some teams from Orlando. Orlando has no fan involvement. The games take place in a closed practice facility. I hate watching Utah play in Orlando.

I'm not sure how serious the question was, but the Orlando Summer League sucks from a fan perspective because no fans can attend games - just media and team personnel.

I was unclear, let me try this. For teams that participate in the RMR will they also be allowed to participate, if they wish to, in the Las Vegas SL? (I know that the Las Vegas SL itself will always be around)
