The University of Utah paid the Jazz a whole boatload of $$$ in late 2014/early 2015 for the rights to provide health care for the team. The Jazz FO took the money, and let go (fired) the team of physicians that helped the Jazz through the Stockton/Malone, DWill/Boozer/Okur/AK era. That...

Let's here your bold predictions. Nothing obvious, it should be something many would disagree with. Here's mine: WCS is available at 12. Jazz pass on him and take R.J. Hunter at 12. Jazz fans boo.

https://twitter.com/IAmAUtahJazzFan/status/478334607058690048/photo/1 In response to the question "Are you coming to SLC soon to work out for the Jazz", Smart tweeted out today "No. They are not interested in me." Guess we can scratch him off the big board. Gordon, Exum, Vonleh, Smart...

How high do you think we could move up in the draft if we packaged our #14 and #21 picks? A separate question is if we would want to do that, I can't think of many players I'd do that for, but Burke would be one of them.

In his annual NBA over/under podcast, Bill Simmons has Utah winning over 43 games as one of his gambling locks. Some highlights of what he said about Utah - He thinks we will win 48. - Marvin Williams has been playing really well - Mo Williams is now underrated. He thought he checked...

Michael Wilbon on PTI suggested today that Steve Nash go to Utah. He said: "As somebody who loves to see Steve Nash play and be effective and play with a team of weapons, he should go to Utah where they got Millsap, Jefferson, Favors, Burks, Hayward, Kanter; players, young ones, agile ones...

Don't know if anybody still cares, and this may be old news, but.... I have a very close friend who knows the Sloans pretty well. He was talking to Jerry recently, and Jerry told him that A) He really wants to coach again, and hopes something comes his way. B) He never would have left if...

Scott Garrard just tweeted this a few hours ago: "Live today with Boler at Papa John's at 369 S. 400 E. Buy any large pizza today from 3-6 and get 2 Jazz-LAC tix for free. Carry outonly. On the Papa John's/Jazz tix offer, no limit on pizzas. Order as many as you want, get 2 tix for each one...

What do you guys think about Over/Under 25.5 wins for the Jazz this year? I do not endorse or encourage gambling in any way, but I would take the Jazz OVER 25.5 wins. Sacramento, with the almighty Jimmer, could probably eek out more than 17 wins as well. For those that are curious, here are...

Chad Ford gives grades, and explanations, for all 30 NBA teams during the offseason. https://insider.espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/7366912/nba-2011-offseason-grades-every-team He gave the Jazz an A. It is a very long article, I'll post below the 3% of the article that pertains to Utah. I...

Does anybody else want to play Fantasy Football? I wasn't in time for the first thread's fantasy football group, but would love to start a second league for those of us not in the first group. If I get around 10 responses, I'll go ahead and start it up. I was thinking around a 16 team...

ESPN.com writer Chris Palmer has been doing stories recently (Insider Only, unfortunately) naming the Top 5 players in the NBA at each position. His list of top 5 centers was interesting. https://insider.espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/6815801/dwight-howard-best-nba-center 1. Dwight Howard 2...

Glad to see these two becoming friends. https://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/jazz/52244743-87/burks-hayward-nba-jazz.html.csp "Alec Burks had never met Gordon Hayward prior to two weeks ago. Hayward sent Burks a good-luck message June 23 after the Jazz selected the guard with the No. 12 overall pick...

TheHoopsReport Ryan Feldman BREAKING: I was told by a trusted league source today at NBA Draft media day that Bismack Biyombo has a medical red flag with his back. The source said they still expect Biyombo to be drafted either at 8 by the Pistons or 9 by the Bobcats, despite the back issue...

Here's my trade idea Utah trades #3 (and maybe Raja smell along with it) Washington trades #6 and #18 I would only do this trade if we were planning on drafting a PG with our 3rd pick. Sliding down to 6 still pretty much guarantees us Brandon Knight, Kemba Walker, or Jimmer. And to be...

I follow the TheHoopsReport on Twitter. Usually has great info. Tonight the following tweets made me laugh. He likes Kemba>Knight and just doesn't understand why Jazz fans think Knight is the better pick. Are we that sure Knight>Kemba? I sure think so. Taller, younger, more upside...

I caught this tidbit from Hollingers ESPN chat today. "Dan (OC) Any chance that the Jazz move Jefferson or Millsap for somebody that can, you know, defend guys over 6'8"? Or are they just hoping Favors can fill that role? John Hollinger (2:36 PM) That's the plan, yes, and I think there's...

There are a bunch of 2011 NBA draft websites, I thought it would be nice to create a thread with some links to informative draft sites. Toss us a link if you have one. Came across this interesting site today, it gives profiles of some of the European bigs that are pretty detailed, but who...

It is very possible the Kyrie Irving and Brandon Knight fall to #3. Who would we rather have? Have we seen enough of Irving to be confident he's the better selection?

https://www.ksl.com/?nid=304&sid=15376081 Interesting interview with Greg Miller, about 10 minutes. Not too interesting, but he did say some things worth mentioning. One interesting note was on AK, Greg said "...I have to be honest with you, I have some concerns about his durability and his...
