    The Paths Forward From Here

    If Quickly is so amazing that the Jazz should be trading multiple picks for him and signing him to a big contract, why is he only getting 24 mpg and why would the Knicks entertain trading him? I don't follow the Knicks so this is a real question. Is it just because they already have Brunson and...

    We'd better get some Hendricks minutes with Lauri out

    Lauri Markkanen, no longer considered untouchable?

    I don't think any of these recent reports are convincing me that we are going to trade Lauri. It feels more like other teams are trying to artificially plant the idea in the Jazz's heads Inception-style.

    David Locke used to do this all the time and it drove me crazy.

    I'm not going to need any pie tomorrow with all the turnovers the Jazz are serving up tonight.

    Sexton and THT minutes cost us the game.

    2023 NBA Draft Megathread

    I don't understand why it's a bad outcome to take the #9 guy on your board with pick #9. I guess there's an expectation that someone is going to fall past the pick you had them rated as? It seems foolish to me to operate assuming another team will make a mistake. What draft spot does it start...

    Who is the Best Guard or Wing We can Get for Walker Kessler?

    Why do we need to get rid of him just because he hasn't started the season well? It's not like he has a big contract that's crippling the team and there's no reports of a locker room problem. And even if the non-shooting defense first center player type isn't as useful as it once was, he's the...

    The Defense Thread

    Last year, nba.com had Lauri as #5 in terms of lowest fg% allowed while defending within 6ft of the basket. It doesn't appear that the stats are up to date for this season yet (I didn't see any Jazz players listed at all for this season on the defense dashboard) but anecdotally it seems like...

    Regular Season Streaming called Jazz+

    Ridiculous. They shouldn't be able to black you out from multiple teams. I've never bothered with the VPN, I just accept that I'm going to miss the 4 Jazz-Blazers games or I listen to the radio broadcast. Missing 10-12 games is another story though.

    Regular Season Streaming called Jazz+

    League pass is ridiculous with the "local" blackouts. I live in Seattle and can't watch Portland games through league pass because it's the "local" team.

    Who will be the starting point guard on opening night?

    Tony Jones had an article in the athletic today about the "who will start at point guard?" question. Not much new info for the dedicated fan, he was going over the pros and cons for each player and it was mostly the same things that have been discussed in this thread. The main thing I thought...

    2023 NBA Free Agency Thread

    I don't think the Jazz are too good for Brown, I think this is a bad contract. If I offer you a Mercedes-Benz but with the payments of a Lamborghini does declining mean you think you're too good for the Benz? This is not just for the Jazz but for any team in the league. The supermax is a bad...

    Will The Jazz Make Any Significant Trades?

    The cost is the bigger issue. Philadelphia loves Embiid and he just won mvp. Their fans would riot if they traded him.

    Will The Jazz Make Any Significant Trades?

    Embiid hasn't gone any further in the playoffs than DM and Gobert did, in a weaker conference. Plus the idea of trading for both Embiid and Dame is a pipe dream. It would take every single pick we got from Minnesota and Cleveland plus some of our own for Philadelphia to give up Embiid.

    Jazz trade for John Collins

    I like the trade. I think Collins is a good player and we gave up basically nothing. At first it did seem like kind of a roster imbalance, but after I thought about it more I don't think it's actually that bad. We have 5 guys (Lauri, Kessler, Collins, Olynyk, Hendricks) for 3 front court spots...

    Jazz back on KJZZ next season

    Huge news for Jazz fans living in Utah. I do not any more, so I've had league pass for the last few years, but my parents are still in Utah and haven't watched the Jazz for years since they don't have cable TV. I'm glad Ryan Smith got it done after talking about it basically ever since he bought...

    2023 NBA Draft Megathread

    I'm not a big draft or college ball guy so I'm not totally informed, but I'd love if the Jazz could figure out a way to get a Thompson. We had generally soft/small/unathletic teams in the Mitchell and Gobert era and have a real chance to turn that around. I saw a Tony Jones tweet yesterday that...
