Just heard on Locked On from David Locke that Tony Jones is moving out of Utah as the Athletic no longer feels a need to have a full time reporter covering the Jazz.
This sucks.

Why aren’t we worth covering?

I would guess because it most likely will be a few years until we are relevant again. Since we didn`t get the #1 pick this year, we will probably be in the wilderness for a couple of years.

Several years of no road map and no visible plan other than not being relevant. It has been pretty obvious to national media and a few select local media that we have been a rudderless ship. Maybe Austin will change that but getting rid of most of the proven talent we had for not much in return still means we are a ways out from anyone caring what happens in SLC.
So what will happen to Tony? Is he re-assigned or let go? Does he go to Denver?

Didn't the draft this year teach you that lesson? The league will decide who is competitive and who is worth covering. We are not, on both counts. What a joke.
It's interesting that Tony hasn't said anything on Twitter?
I listened to Locke for the first time in months to hear what he had to say about this and he didn't say much. Also the audio quality was even worse than normal. At least it wasn't Lief.

Lief is so damn boring
