    Which vets to extend in 2026 if they are still here

    In recent discussions it seems like a pretty much foregone conclusion that we are trading all of these guys. However the premise of this thread is that we wont get any of those deals done for whatever reason, and we hit next offseason with all three of them. So the question simply is, which one...

    Do you think our FO has Ace, Tre and VJ ranked 3-5?

    The trio is widely considered to be in their own tier and we all obviously have our preferences within the tier. But trying to get inside DA's head is also instructive in predicting how the draft may unfold. I dont see anyone being vocal about not wanting one of these guys, but is there a chance...

    My idea on how to fix lottery/tanking

    This has been discussed some and we've had some interesting proposals and I may have missed if someone already suggested something like this.... but I think the way to solve tanking is to simply make "build through the middle" option better. So being a feisty play-in loser or a bubble team would...

    Quotes from the Lakers forum after the Hornets loss: "Jazz won the trade"

    This falls out of scope for JA quotes, but as I randomly went to check pulse on Lakersground after they lost to the Horncats there were some tears I had to share. Also this is both a Hornets win and a Lakers loss so its definitely a Jazz win. PRE-GAME Hornets are an embarrassing franchise...

    Jazz trade talk 2024-25

    This thread is for general trade spitballing and or flimsy rumors we hear, that are not big enough that they need a dedicated thread.

    Game Thread Utah Jazz vs New Zealand Breakers - Oct 4th 7:00 PM (MT) (Preseason)

    Cant find any game threads from calendar, so I'll post this fake one. (Paging @Jason, am I looking from the wrong place?) @Swuul wrote a really nice introduction of the Breakers team, maybe post it here also?

    Johnny Juzang hype & appreciation thread

    My hot take for season is that we will need this thread. Focus is on the rookies and sophomores, but for reasons I cant explain... I feel like Johnny will win more minutes than we all think, and look good out there.

    Would you rather....

    Now the poll is intentionally "black & white" since I'm sure most in here would pick some shade of grey if offered. However for the sake of this poll, I'm interested in knowing how many here value getting top of the lottery talent more than seeing concrete leaps from our current prospects. And...

    Current Jazz vs 2022-23 OKC team roster comparison

    There is no case to be made that we are in the exact same position or that we are going to end up where they are, but I wanted to highlight some similarities about roster structure of the 2022-23 OKC team in comparison to ours. Rookies (Chet included but highlighted in red, since he didnt play...

    Jazz sign Babacar Sane

    Announcement doesnt give out any details. The math doesnt work. We should be full on both regular and 2-way spots. Can it be a G League contract? Would they announce it like this? View: https://x.com/utahjazz/status/1823752164403240994

    Jazz sign Micah Potter to 2-way deal

    The real hunger games: NBA market outlook is not great for buyers

    I did some thinking and research on the topic of "which high level players could be available" before or during the 2025 offseason, focusing on the teams and ignoring the FA markets that seem to be pretty dead with the current CBA. I tried to account for teams likely plans and their own draft...

    Are we appreciating the FO enough?

    So imagine we make the most passive plan ever and decided to just hold the roster as it is for 2 years with only major moves outside of draft being Lauri and Sexton R&E to frontloaded contracts. That would also result in two additional high picks as the team is not currently constructed to...

    FO intentions for the offseason

    First off, I hope this thread sparks discussion that focuses around the likely preferences our FO has, instead of people pushing their own narratives about what they hope or what they think the team should do. So I read the tea leaves like this: 1) Get that superstar to pair with Lauri and...

    Early pulse check on offseason expectations

    I want to test the pulse of what people think we should do next offseason. For the sake of this argument, lets say that all options above are on the table and the FO can choose between any of them, and none of them are unreasonable to achieve. This means for example that the "big splash trade"...

    A look back of the process so far

    Our default starters in the 2022-23 campaign before the trade deadline were: Conley, who turned 35 during that season, and was doing A LOT OF stuff for the team, including acting as a crutch for Hardy Clarkson, 30 years old who carried the team a lot with his own scoring Olynyk, 31 year old who...

    Are there people still calling this a "hot streak"?

    What we all once dubbed as a "hot streak" has now gone beyond being a streak. In the last 24 games: Our record is 17-7, which gives a win pct of .708 Out of those 24 games, we have played 10 at home and 14 on the road Out of those games, 13 are against above .500 teams and 11 against sub .500...

    Athletic article about Conley trade

    Jon Krawcynski did an interview with Conley focused around the trade to Wolves. https://theathletic.com/5067669/2023/11/24/mike-conley-minnesota-timberwolves-nba-trade-deadline/ Its obvious from that interview that Conley did not want to get traded and even though he had expected it might...

    Analyzing the defense after 9 games

    So trying to get a grasp on our defensive schemes and ideas seems like a tall task. Any analysis I've tried to do based on tape is just all over the place in terms of what causes defensive meltdowns. So lets keep this analysis on stats. The good (Jazz rank in top 15) Our defensive rebounding...
