They may build a new arena and make that part of some major real estate development, but that would be a multi-year project. Delta Center makes sense to get the franchise started.

The other thing to look at would be what he did in HS. Was he an alpha-type, three-level scorer and set-up guy in HS? Here are some HS highlights -- View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HufM0iprBw There isn't much here, but he makes a nice outlet pass starting at 5:30 and a steal and...

Not sure where to post this, that's surprising. Also, it's sounding as though the Smiths want to support the hockey club at Delta Center. I guess that would make some sense, at least as a starting point. View: https://twitter.com/kslsports/status/1781465077109190863

I wonder if the guy the Jazz almost traded for this year was Lavine.

The question with Sheppard is how far his off-the-dribble game can go. The shooting, defense, passing and toughness all pass muster. But can he be a primary guy with the ball? It's a bit similar to the questions around Cason Wallace last year.

These are the types of flashes that make people optimistic about Coulibaly. I'd put him 3 tiers higher in the above Redraft. View: https://twitter.com/jasehoops/status/1781206179814805916

If Lauri were playing next to Lebron or Luka Doncic, everyone would be praising his ability to be a complementary star player. The problem is that, right now, the Jazz's best advantage creator is Collin Sexton trying to drive downhill. This just isn't going to allow Lauri's game to flourish (or...

Sure you do. You trade for John Collins' contract and hold it as an appreciable asset, while playing him at the 5 knowing full well he can't guard the rim. Win-win. You think the Jazz being far-and-away the worst defensive team in the league just happened by coincidence? If the front office...

Ainge built a roster that was designed to lose games. So when he says that he and other front-office personnel didn't think the team was good enough to make the Play-in, they knew damn well that this was the objective all along. He's being coy, acting as though this was some roster that needed...

The only way the Jazz could generate offense was to spread the floor and let our guards attack seams. With Kessler on the floor, it was more difficult to do that. If the Jazz want to do more offensively than to have Collin Sexton kamikaze into the paint, they'll need to put someone else on the...

The Jazz aren't in a place where they are ready to trade for a star. They've just torn down and don't have enough of a team or identity in place to support a star. They've got mostly youth and some odd-fitting pieces. If a star became available, a lot of work would need to be done to fill out...

Some decent takes in this, imo. I'd have Cody Williams several spots higher, but I'm betting on his pre-draft process. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vu57qLnNv-8

Buzelis is probably this year's "canned soup" prospect. He can process, make reads and move the ball at NBA speed.

The Hawks could make all kinds of moves to fashion a team that Snyder prefers. As it is, they're likely going to trade Capela in the final year of his deal. They're probably going to trade either Dejounte or Young, depending on the offers they get. Hunter and Bey could possibly be had if the...

The Pels are a tax team who will likely make moves if they don't make a real run this year. The rumor as early as last fall was that they might be willing to move Brandon Ingram. Ingram, if he stays healthy, is potentially the type of versatile big guard the Jazz currently lack. (No disrespect...
