Ok I am the dinosaur in the room . I was at Bird-Magic final four and Jazz game one in 1979 so my thoughts go early franchise.. The poor return on Dantley trade may have taken a title away. The talent and depth Jazz had in 86-87 and the more renown 87-88 teams was excellent. Tripucka and...

I go back to seeing AD from 79’ on so it’s always good to hear from him. Man looks good for his age too.

I have this early in game promotion giveaway relic poster with big Mark. For me he was the salt palace era of the Jazz. I saw most of his games. My favorite individual memory was Mark and Karl Malone getting into some shoving matches at East High during summer league 1986. RIP

Thanks. Yeah Jordan is worth a few dollars. IAll being said they were more valuable then versus now. Maybe not dollarwise. Just you had to work back in there playing days to get the autographs. Today guys like bird Dominique magic they do private signings by the bucket load. So they’ve...

Hey it’s All-Star weekend so got me looking back. So I am around 15 living in Salt Lake in the 80’s . Had been collecting autographs around Jazz games for a few years by then. So I knew the in and outs in terms of attending shoot around on game days, hotels, etc. I was collecting cards and...

Mailman looked up to AD as a rookie . I think Adrian was a great teacher at first but not sure he was ready to pass the torch yet. Losing Dantley for a Tripucka who fit in WORSE was what hurt the team. Kelly could not work in a structured offense with limited shots, after run and gun freestyle...

Happy 66th to Jazz legend AD. He was the man from 79-85 at the salt palace.

Conley won’t be back. He of course is stepping up in a contract year. Will price him out as it slim pickings for free agents next off-season. He will be older and overpaid on that deal. Jazz should already be targeting his replacement .

This is the only place where Mitchell gets some necessary criticism. He is more or less bulletproof from the national view. His lack of Efficiency just gets a pass.

Who would spend that kind of time on here to know about a repeat conversation

Cavs do this ias Conley is expiring asset in a total rebuild, while Kevin has three years left. Love can help Jazz as a better inside-outside scorer & rebounder. Not a good defender though. Rudy would be needed. Risky business it fits for salary and may improve the team.

Let me state the obvious Larry Miller saved the NBA in Utah. I had season tickets back then and it was on life support. Come on they were playing home games in Vegas . Larry being homegrown also mattered significantly as he would never sell or move in his tenure. I see the franchise as a low...

Unfortunately everything today is dictated by authentication. I would say $300 to $500 if you get it certified with one of the services.

I found some of my vintage jazz Auto’s from Wayback . Just a snapshot of what I found. Kind of amazing that the Jazz have some of the most valuable autographs in today’s collectors world. Stockton is like a Howard Hughes of signing fan material for the last 25 years. Maravich as well has...

Ok I found another in the vault. Jazz giveaway I got at a game back in the day. Has to be a handful left in the world right ? I worked on my game with Dev in my high school ball days. And I am not Mormon .. guy was the best. ol
