As good a thread as any:

"Get ready for an announcement about two features being added to the renovated vivent arena #takenote" - Steve Starks Twitter

Looks like one might be a light up Jazz Note statue in front of the entrance. per Andy Larsen's twitter

i understand they are removing urinals in favor of gender neutral toilets
 
Thanks Andy, I enjoyed your Q&A today.

They have 22 days to get the arena ready for a concert. I hope they make it. Can't wait to catch a jazz game inside.
 
Looks like some of the guys got together this last week. Is media day on the 25th?

You forgot the white guy.
 
DL is really smart to have these group trips to California. If you want the team to be together and train together, you can't try to make them stay in Utah all summer.

Wonder if that's only because the practice facility is still under construction. I think it would still be a good idea next year to arrange a San Diego trip. As great as Salt Lake is, it would still be nice for the players to get away.

But can these trips be arranged for by the Jazz? It's not like they could be mandatory; wouldn't that kind of constitute an early start to training camp? Outside of the players involved in summer league, how much involvement can coaches or training staff have with players between the end of the season and opening of camp?
 
I like that Joe broke a 2 year Instagram silence to post this and that he is standing next to them like a little league baseball coach stands next to his team.

Either Burks has BO from working out, or Joe was told not to get even remotely close to his glass shoulders.
 
Probably the most impressed by Johnson sticking around. What can he possibly improve on? And he's in the final season of his contract. It would certainly be understandable if he just showed up at training camp. Probably can't keep him after this season with Hood, Exum and Favs due raises (if all are re-signed), but just a great example. Maybe if no one goes after him, he'd accept the vet minimum.
