    Who would you rather keep, Lauri Markkanen or John Collins? (Please read scenario)

    It feels like Lauri stock is at an all time low and Collins stock is at an all time high on Jazzfanz. It made me think of this poll question. The scenario: The Jazz decide that they would like to have one, but only one of Collins or Markkanen next year. They want a play finisher that can...

    Do you want the Jazz to win their last game against the Wolves?

    If the Jazz win then they will almost certainly be second in the tank standings (20% chance at the 6th pick), but will ensure that the Wolves are in the play in and at the very least improve their pick by about 4 spots. If the Jazz lose they will almost certainly be tied for first in the tank...

    NBA Podcasts

    I'm just curious what NBA or general Basketball podcasts people are listening to? I used to only listen to Locke, but ever since HH and Elizah put out their pod I've been listening to others. The main two that I listen to are the Hoops Collective and the Game Thoery podcast. I think the...

    What can we take away from this season?

    I went through our entire schedule and found 10 games where we won or played very close (within 5 points) with good teams (playoff teams above .500). Here is a chart I created to look for patterns. Here are a couple of thoughts: - The majority (6/10) of these games happened in February. -...

    Is the NBA Draft Lottery Rigged?

    I'm curious to see what Jazzfanzzers believe. Here's a few things to chew on: https://www.deseret.com/sports/2024/05/12/inside-danny-ainges-first-ever-time-in-the-nba-lottery-drawing-room/ https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/unsalvageable/episodes/Sarah-Was-In-The-Draft-Lottery-Room-e2k83r9...

    Predict How Many Games will Lauri play for the rest of the season

    We have 28 games remaining. Lauri has played 41 games so far. At this point last year he had played 46 games and only played 9 games post all star break. Not part of the poll, but in the comments feel free to guess the amount of games that Collins, Sexton, Clarkson, and Kessler will play.

    Guess our 2025 Draft Pick Position Game

    We now have 4 picks in the 2025 draft. Our own 1st round pick, Minnesota's 1st round pick, Clipper's 2nd round pick, and very likely the Dallas 2nd round pick. Same as other similar games we've played. Pick the final draft position after the lottery and for every spot + or - away you will get...

    Paid subscription to JazzFanz without ads?

    @Jason have you looked in to the possiblity for posters to pay something in order to remove ads? Most of the time the ads don't bother me, but sometimes they are really frustrating as they disrupt normal navigation and posting. I typically don't like paying for things that I can get for free...

    Solving For Tanking, We're smart, let's figure it out

    I think the majority of us would agree that sitting a healthy 23 year old Walker Kessler to make it more likely that we lose a game to have better lottery odds is a problem in the NBA. Teams should be incentivized to win as many games while achieving other goals like player development, etc...

    Looking ahead to 2025-2026

    This has been discussed a little bit already, but I think it's an interesting topic and wanted to see how the board is generally feeling. If we get Flagg in the draft, or whoever you think we should get with the first pick, what should the Jazz do then? Let's pretend that we have traded away...

    The Lauri Thread

    Lots of interesting questions around Lauri, especially as we get towards the off season when he can be traded. - His numbers are down this year, are we worried? He doesn't seem to be moving as well this year. - How long is he willing to play for a non playoff team? - How soon are we able to...

    Should Cody spend time in the G LEAGUE

    I don't have s strong opinion either way, but have seen it mentioned. I don't think anyone is talking about the whole season, but for at least a couple of weeks. I can see it both ways which might make for an interesting discussion topic.

    Anonymous poll, Who are you voting for?

    I'm just curious who Jazzfanz will be voting for. There is a lot of political talk by a minority of posters. This is an anonymous poll, so feel free to vote and not be criticized for your choice. Please do not vote if you are not eligible to vote in the election.

    NBA Top 10 teams list

    This isn't a record prediction thread, but a power ranking. Who do you think are the top ten teams who are most likely to be able to win the NBA title this year? We look at the Western Conference every year, but I'm curious how people think the Eastern Conference teams stack up with the...

    Guess the Minute Total Ranking For 2024-2025 Challenge

    OK, this thread might be a flop, but it's slow so whatever. The idea is to guess the ranking of total minutes played for the Jazz this year. At the end of the year I will score your guesses similar to the Western Conference Standings prediction thread, one point for every off ranking given...

    Jazz Addicts Anonymous

    Hi my name is Sober and I'm an addict. It started when I was just a kid, growing up in Utah, the Jazz were my only fix. I was born in the early 80's, but my first real memories of the Jazz were in the early 90's with Stockton, Malone, and Eaton (man I hated Eaton). As a teenager I...

    Lauri + Tank

    This didn't need it's own thread, but it's slow... From everything we are hearing it sounds like our plan for next year is to keep Lauri and still try to keep ourselves in position to get a really high draft pick. This is the direction I was hoping we would go, because Lauri is amazing, and...
