    Trade deadline discussion

    A trade with Boston seems extremely likely IMO. Here's why: A) Historically people (GMs) trade with people they have strong relationships with. B) Same goes for Danny Ainge - when he made the big move for Kevin Garnett, he called up his old buddy Kevin McHale (Twolves GM at the time) - Danny...

    Danny Ainge hired as CEO of basketball operations

    The Negatives: I'm now super nervous some of my favorites in the locker room may be going - including Quin Snyder. Danny is the guy got Doc Rivers to be a championship coach - and Doc has proven since that he can't do much without a Super Team. The Positives: I can only assume that this deal...

    Azubuike is back from his injury

    Eliza Hughes is pretty good, she plays for the same team as Alex Burks.

    This Guy Alec Burks Is A Top Player

    We are all happy for Alec. He's doing great and would basically be a very welcome addition to any team in the NBA.

    Theo Maledon

    I know we talked a bit about this frenchy before the draft. Kid seems legit, and was arguably the best player on the floor tonight in a Suns - Thunder game. Theo Maledon tonight: 33 points 5 rebounds 3 assists 10/18 FG 5/7 3PT 8/10 FT Of course the best player was really CP3, but I digress.

    Buyout market

    Drummond is a good player. He's an all-star and he will make the Lakers better. Imagine where the Jazz might be at, if some of the buyout free agents had fallen our way. Take our roster, but mix in Andre Drummond, LaMarcus Aldridge and Austin Rivers. We'd be the favorites. Oh well, I guess...

    Georges Niang is a Good Defensive Player?

    I think he has made huge strides in his defense and defensive effort. That being said, I recall David Locke talking about this and saying that one of the things Quin has adjusted this season, is trying to get the bench unit more minutes with Gobert on the floor with them. So, Niang's minutes...

    Buyout market

    Adrian Wojnarowski @wojespn Free agent LaMarcus Aldridge plans to sign with the Brooklyn Nets, sources tell ESPN. Yay! I hope we meet BKLYN in the finals and beat them. That is all.

    Game Thread Mar 24, 2021 08:00PM MT: Jazz vs. Nets

    Ugh. This is now a trap game. Landry Shamet is going to play like Austin Rivers against the Jazz.

    Trade deadline discussion

    Yup. Tonight's game dialed my Otto Porter interest down to about a zero. Lauri Markkanen on the other hand, could be a great addition to our system.

    Doc Rivers BS campaigning again - Ben Simmons is a lock to win DPOY

    Bogie should start.. playing better.

    Absolutely. He needs to take 20 shots per game until he gets his confidence back. Hornacek always said shooting 3s was 50% ability and 50% confidence. I'm sure the surgery and wrist pain is messing with his mind. When he's at his best. - he's probably better than anything we could possibly...

    Should the Jazz shut Favors down for a while?

    David Locke @DLocke09 · 12m Jazz have lost 4 of 6 Clippers have lost 5 of 7 and 6 of 9 Lakers have lost 6 of 9 Blazers have lost 6 of 10 David Locke with some needed perspective. :)

    Should the Jazz shut Favors down for a while?

    Link? We've just won 5 out of our last 10 going 5-5 or if you want to make it look worse - we lost 75% of our last 4 games going 1-3. I think the mood is appropriate - the Jazz need to start playing their BEST basketball because everyone playing against them is. New Orleans - beat us - in...

    Should the Jazz shut Favors down for a while?

    If Azubuike can get back by mid-April - that could really help the defense in the 2nd unit. He'd be learning still, but the other 4 men on the floor would know exactly what they are doing. He just needs to learn the lesson, that took Rudy a couple of season to figure out - don't jump. The nice...

    Ersan Ilyasova to sign with Jazz per Jordan Schultz

    Say what you want about drawing charges and whether it philosophically makes for good basketball or not. I'm just excited to win more, and by more. Jazz are going to have it rough tomorrow. Between the early game + day light savings - I bet the shooting is going to be very off in the first half.

    Who Would Current Jazz Fans Recognize: Karl Malone or Niang?

    That's just nutty. At the police department city offices I used to work at, we had a secure building. Everyone either has a key card (because they work there) or they need to show their ID to get buzzed in. One of the City Council members was offended that one of police department records...
