    2018 NBA Draft Party - any word if the Jazz are hosting one?

    I can't find confirmation that the Jazz are hosting a party. If I remember right, they didn't host one last year either and have been doing them less frequently lately. Anyone with connections to the Jazz know why or why not? Is it as simple as building availability or too much overhead for not...

    Deron Williams still loves Utah

    This is an excellent point. Due to the heads up he provided, the Jazz ended up with 7 good - very good years from Favors and maybe more, 1 1/2 years from Devin Harris and 1 1/2 years for Marvin Williams, 3 years of Kanter whose trade led to Rubio coming our way and Georgi Dieng's rights which...

    Is anyone sad we missed out on Aaron Gordon?

    Here's the thing I don't get - why on earth didn't Orlando try to get something out of the Jazz for not drafting Exum? In other words, as soon as Embiid is picked by Philly, why didn't the Magic call us and say give us #5 and #23 or #5 and future draft considerations for #4? They had to know we...

    So glad the LDS Church doesn't do paid clergy.

    No, I'm not. I served for about 3.5 years and was released when I moved back to Utah several years ago. I have a calling in the stake at this time and I also work for the church. Serving as a bishop was challenging on the family. Knock on wood - if I was ever called to serve as a bishop again, I...

    So glad the LDS Church doesn't do paid clergy.

    My two pennies - I was called to be a bishop when I was 30 years old. My family was living in Tennessee at the time. I shared with a few people at work that I had been called, and it was difficult for them to get how it all worked. A co-worker who was studying to be a pastor / minister was very...

    name the new six

    How about five from the (bee)hive (state)? Too obscure? That name would work better if we were the Hornets rather than the Jazz, but I'm glad we're not..

    How do buyouts work now? Will Beans, Jefferson and Rush actually ever come to Utah?

    With the new CBA structure, how quickly can the Jazz buyout any of these players? Do they have to be on the 2013-2014 roster / How many of them will actually end up in Utah? What do buyouts typically look like?

    Tracking the Jazz in the Hollinger Playoff Odds

    The playoff odds are based off the daily Power Rankings that was / is John Hollinger's creation, if I remember correctly. https://espn.go.com/nba/hollinger/powerrankings The Jazz had been hovering in the 11-16 range, and then plummeted to around 24 after the Houston loss. Our playoffs odds were...

    Jazz sucking right now so I thought of this jazz/Magic trade

    I couldn't help but notice that this trade makes both teams worse by at least 3 wins. :( And if both Redick and Afflalo are coming in, then Foye needs to be included in the deal for sure. Otherwise, Hayward and Burks don't get any more pt...
