Off-Season Rumblings

You're likely kidding here, but in all seriousness Kenny Lofton might be the Jazz's most bankable isolation scorer right now.

Did Sexton get traded or something?

... The Conley dead was fine...

You sure? I don't think even Jom would approve this

youre not being serious

This is the requisite statement from every Jazz offseason in the last 5 years, with the Jazz predictably surprising first with first-round exits and, lately, with finishing deep in the lottery (but not deep enough to draft anyone meaningful).

Last 5 years huh? 4 years ago they made it to the 2nd round of the playoffs

Haha you know it’s the dead of off-season and one month before the draft when someone says a bench warmer is the best iso scorer on the team when Sexton is there. Im just going to call that jazzfanzing

I am excited for Lofton next year tho, but I'm holding off on hyperbole until he can prove he can be a player who plays well in a winning context.

Also fairly excited for Juzang and Bazley. Juzang played really well post ASB last year. He's only 23 (turns 24 next March) so he's still younger than some 5th year draft prospects this year. Bazley impressed me with his defense last year, maybe the offense will finally click at some point.

Summer League should be a blast this year. The team is going to be absolutely loaded. Easy to see why the Jazz have said publicly they arent looking to draft 3 players. Our 2-way/end of bench younger prospects still have a decent amount of potential and need developing.

Great post. Agreed on all of this.

A Porzingis/Lauri front-court would have been fascinating.

I think Ainge/Zanik value having a shooter at the 5 spot.

Yeah, I've believed this rumor for some time. I also believe we were in on other potential "almost" guys like Holiday and Herro. Maybe the FO has pivoted, but whether you like it or not it's pretty clear that they were trying to move forward.
