    Establishing our core

    Right now, Gobert/Mitchell (& possibly Bradley as a potential role-player) are our only core members IMO. Ingles could be in that group due to his contract/intangibles but I think he is more likely a future trade asset due to his age & limited remaining potential. He's a great role-player but...

    DL's Approach

    It may be too soon to logically discuss the best approach moving forward, but I think it's important to consider. I expect the FO to build around Gobert & count on internal development, bargain FA's/acquisitions, defense/intensity. But do people believe this is a realistic potential path to a...

    Trade Deadline

    With the trade deadline only 10 days away & Utah 1/2 game up on POR for the 8th seed & 4 games behind MEM for the 5th seed, what are your thoughts on what moves (if any) the FO should make? Personally, I will be disappointed if they decide to stand pat. Obviously it will come down to what...

    Building around Gobert

    As great as Hayward & Favors are (& Exum could be), it has essentially become a requirement for legitimate championship contenders to have multiple superstars. Hayward & Favors both appear to be secondary/complimentary players (a tier or 2 below elite) rather than actual superstars, & while Exum...

    Boston Celtics trade

    With the Celtics hoping to sign Kevin Love as well as wanting to get Gerald Wallace's contract off the books, there could be an opportunity for Utah to take advantage of the situation. After getting injured during an altercation with Kelly Olynyk, it appears unlikely that Love would sign with...

    Why we shouldn't stand pat in the draft

    Drafting at #12 has put us in a somewhat odd position, especially when you look at the talent projected to go in that range. We are far enough away from the top prospects that it would likely take a significant asset or two to get into that range, yet high enough in the draft that we should...

    Why trading up for Russell should be the priority

    I know, it's unlikely & might not even be necessary; but it should still be the priority if it's at all a possibility. The team had one of the best records after the all-star break, Rodney Hood played like a starter, & Dante Exum showed improvement. The team looks ready to compete next year (&...

    Competing while allowing Dante Exum to develop

    Based on our recent success, unlike the last few years, competing (rather than development) will clearly be our first priority next season. After that, developing our PG of the future should be the second priority, as his long-term development is likely to be the determining factor in whether we...

    Allowing the draft to dictate our off-season

    I'm not suggesting that we go into this summer without a plan & just wing it. All I am suggesting is that we allow what happens in the draft to determine how we go about executing that plan; which I believe is to set ourselves up to compete next year by adding players who will not only...

    Moving forward

    Due to the emergence of Gobert, along with Hayward & Favors establishing themselves as legitimate 1st rate starters, it appears that the core of this team is ready to win now (with the right supporting cast surrounding it) & even potentially compete for a playoff spot as soon as next year. It...

    My take on what the Jazz should do this season & in the future

    First & foremost, thank you to all of those who provide information & insight in the seemingly never-ending (but hopefully soon-ending) conversation on how to get the Utah Jazz that elusive, first NBA championship. Also, I apologize in advance for the length of this post. As everyone on this...
