    Jazz get two 2nd round pics to help Cleveland clear salary by taking and waiving Lonzo Ball

    If we keep Walker, it gets difficult for Nurk. We have lots of capable bigs. His defensive impact is based on smarts and rebounding but not hunting down his man. He pairs well with JJJ. It's possible he gets good playing time next year but he could just get a few minutes a night in backup...

    Jaren Jackson Jr. traded to the Jazz

    Ja Morant kills chances for OReb. Might be a system thing.

    Jaren Jackson Jr. traded to the Jazz

    The starting five of Key, Ace, Lauri, JJJ, Walker...those are all players smart GM's would trade for. Every single one of them.

    Jaren Jackson Jr. traded to the Jazz

    The Jazz loved JJJ during his draft. He was probably one of the top players available according to the Jazz management internal board (which they have and update constantly) and bolsters the defensive options while being able to stretch the floor. If it really does this to our team for many...

    Cody Williams Star Ascension Watch Thread

    Cody Williams' demeanor is to intellectually overthink about everything he is doing. It hurt him last year. But ... it works for defense and reacting with cuts.

    The Non-Jazz NBA Thread in the Jazz Section

    Selfishly, I would want to bring back our young players on second contracts and that they would make massive improvements on their second deals. You do need quality back benchers and the CBA makes it impossible to keep talent - I would use any trick in the book to keep costs low and spend when...

    Cody Williams Star Ascension Watch Thread

    If Cody really does get better then...how do we get all these deserving wings minutes? Cody, Ace, Lauri, Hendricks?

    Clayton or Collier?

    We need loses which means all developing players with flaws should get minutes.

    Ace Bailey ROY watch

    Has all the skills and measurables. Just doesn't have the Cooper intensity....but I think he could fill out better and grow a little more. Could be a lot better long term than Flagg.

    NBA Summer League Wild Overreaction Thread

    Brice is better than that shooter guy in Miami who is always in trade discussions. Why does everything have to be a great defender? His criticism is overdone. Ace is looking like a number one lottery pick. Wow. Flag who?

    How bad/good is Cody Williams?

    He played a few minutes at the 5.....uh...what? How does that work?!

    Jazz trade John collins

    Who is better long-term, Kuminga or Walker? I think it would be Kuminga

    Collin Sexton traded to Charlotte Hornets for Jusuf Nurkic

    We tried to unload Sexton for two years. You was good enough to keep the mediocre. He kept breaking plays, as his major weakness..everything else makes him and ideal of the bench guard.

    Post the 5 man lineup you’re most excited to see next season

    Collier WCJ Ace Lauri Hendricks (I think he can play small ball center). Shooting everywhere but the PG spot but this also opens up the floor for Collier. Strong centers would kill us but not every lineup has it.

    Is Ace Bailey the best draft prospect in Utah Jazz history?

    Deron Williams level with a small but decent chanc to exceed him.
