    What does this mean?

    You’re not 100% wrong but I am gonna disagree with your take. D-Will never seemed to have the same clout at any point in his career in Utah, than Donovan already has. Donovan has the games superstars tweeting about him and seeking him out after games just so they can speak to him one on one...

    How About This?

    I’d also like to add that I’d love to see this squad have another crack at it next season especially with a healthy Sefelosha. Thabo’s ability to guard athletic wings probably means we finish OKC in 5, if not a clean sweep and I think the Houston series gets a lot more uncomfortable for the...

    How About This?

    I agree. As a Jazz fan, I’ve always been proud of the type of organization the Miller family has built and what they stand for. That being said, the current squad (including our GM, HC, and entire coaching staff) seem to have taken it to the next level. I know it won’t play out like this, but...

    THIS WILL BE THE LONGEST OFF-SEASON IN TEAM HISTORY

    Considering how close Locke seems to be with Coach Igor, I wouldn’t be surprised if his opinion on Dante is based off how he perceives the coaching staff to feel about Dante. I for one am on board with bringing Dante back if the price is reasonable. However, I half wonder if the coaching staff...

    THIS WILL BE THE LONGEST OFF-SEASON IN TEAM HISTORY

    You’re 100% right on the pendulum example. For years, doctors played it fast and loose with opiates while they lined their pockets with incentive payments from big pharma. While that is something that can’t be ignored, I also think too many people that get hooked on pain pills are quick to point...

    THIS WILL BE THE LONGEST OFF-SEASON IN TEAM HISTORY

    Very interesting post. I’m 41 now, but I’ve had severe lower back problems since I was 17 (thanks HS football). By the age of 19 I got to the point where I was in complete agony and I finally got into a good neurologist. They did an MRI on me and saw that 3 of my discs were bulging so badly into...

    DL certainly has dodged some bullets recently

    I think it’s fairly obvious that the biggest need the Jazz have right now is a stretch 4 that can shoot from 3, create his own shot, and relieve some of the scoring burden that’s falling on Mitchell. I know financially it’s not gonna work, but I’ve become so emotionally attached to Fav’s that’s...

    DL certainly has dodged some bullets recently

    DL drafted Donovan Mitchell. The Utah state legislators should literally introduce a bill that makes any negative comments about DL illegal, with an immediate 25 year minimum sentence. Were there mistakes and near misses in DL’s career before Donovan? Absolutely, but none of that matters now...

    Hayward

    Forgive me if this has been posted earlier in the thread (I’m too lazy to look through it), but I already have serious questions about Hayward’s future in Boston. His absence has allowed Tatum and Brown to thrive and quite frankly, at this point I’d probably rather give minutes to those 2 at...

    The Stretch 4 Discussion Thread

    The more I think about it, the more I get on board with bringing Favs back. Mostly because I don’t think bringing back Favors as the starting 4, stops us from acquiring the stretch 4 that this team badly needs. The bottom line is this: While Favs does not provide us what we need as a stretch 4...

    The Stretch 4 Discussion Thread

    Jabari is gonna get some serious Jazzfanz mileage this offseason due to his Utah ties and the idea that should it work out, he’s more likely to stay in Utah. However, the more we look into him, the more obvious it becomes that he’s just not a fit here for several pretty important reasons. If...

    The Stretch 4 Discussion Thread

    Stranger things have happened. Let’s say the Knicks think that they’re players in FA if they can drop Noah and some other salary. There’s already rumors out there that NY might be willing to part with the #9 pick if somebody is willing to take Noah off their hands. If Utah got NY involved, and...

    The Stretch 4 Discussion Thread

    The Jazz were a couple million over the cap during the 2 finals seasons, but I get it, that’s not exactly tax spending territory. Let me rephrase my statement: The Miller family won’t stand in the way of paying who they’ve gotta pay if they legitimately feel as if they have a championship...

    The Stretch 4 Discussion Thread

    What happens if the Lakers pitch to Lebron/Paul George works and LA is suddenly faced with having to cut some major salary, fast? In that scenario I think a team willing to take on Deng’s deal can steal a nice, young piece from LA. Yes, the Lakers love Kuzma, but Magic Johnson isn’t walking...

    The Stretch 4 Discussion Thread

    There’s a few guys like Kawhi that most people will immediately dismiss as not worth talking about due to the fact that we don’t have the assets necessary to acquire said player. I think that would be a mistake. Getting a 3rd team involved in a discussion and possibly being willing to absorb a...

    Thanks for a great year Jazz.

    Not only was this year surprising and fun, as I’ve said in other posts, I believe the groundwork has been laid from great ownership, to a great front office, to great coaching/development/training staff and the absolute jackpot of finally landing a bonafide superstar, that we will look back on...

    Rodney Hood Refuses to Enter Game in Garbage Time

    That’s his own damn fault though. Once Hayward bolted for Boston and we drafted Mitchell, “Plan A” wasn’t to throw our franchise on a rookies back and hope for the best. I think we all remember that not too long ago this front office and coaching staff were looking to Hood to step up and fill...

    Stephen Jackson calls out Utah fans now.

    Believe it or not, if some people saw me mocking Elfrid Payton for his hair, they’d just assume I’m a racist without gathering more information. Hell, Elfrid himself might refer to me as a racist Jazz fan to the media after the fact. Kinda like you’re labeling me one from the safety of your own...

    Stephen Jackson calls out Utah fans now.

    I got the chance to become acquainted with Donyell Marshall during his time with the Utah Jazz. We actually got the chance to have a couple of very interesting conversations on this exact topic. Long story short, while Utah was easily the whitest fan base he ever played for, he said we were far...

    Stephen Jackson calls out Utah fans now.

    Oh Sigh, I could set my watch to your contrarian ********. You might be the worst poster on Jazzfanz, but hey, at least you’re the most consistent.
