    The trade winds are a'blowin'...

    Let's just say there is one untouchable player on the roster, and 1-2 others they would prefer to keep. Everyone else - and I mean everyone (including those 1-2) - is available for the right price. The goal remains to build our war chest of draft capital/cap space and be extremely aggressive in...

    Ryan Smith has some accountability here

    Don't think we've seen this level of toxicity and disfunction before in my 30 year career as a Jazz fan. The Millers had their flaws as owners and obviously we never got over the hump. But at least it was a tight ship from the top down. If there was a cancer in the organization they were dealt...

    Load management strategy is next-level

    1) Not a single player in the top 50 in MPG 2) Donovan, Mike, Rudy, and Bojan averaging career lows in MPG (note, only looking at their true 'starter" years) 3) Conley not playing a single B2B 4) All 9 core rotation guys averaging 15+ MPG Looks and feels to me like we're playing to cruise to...

    SIAP - Just a disgusting piece of journalism. Hit piece in the SF Chronicle.

    Wing Defender in the Buyout/Trade Market?

    Looking towards the playoffs - the one thing I think we'd need to add would be another capable, big-body defender who can match up with who we know who stands between us and and a title. Royce is solid but can't guard two guys at once and can't guard for 48 minutes. Someone who can play 8-10...

    Donovan Mitchell tests positive for COVID-19

    WOJ. WOW. WTF IS HAPPENING.

    FA Targets at the MLE/BA level

    Not a capologist, but per Tony Jones the Jazz will have the full MLE and Bi-Annual exception (...don't we also have some trade exceptions?) As it stands, we'll have Royce, Exum, Niang, Neto and Bradley off the bench. That's pretty haggard. Who is a) realistic and b) worth a crap at those $...

    Give credit where credit is due - the W's are awesome

    They should and likely will lose this series, but that comeback was legendary. Out of gas, completely depleted, on the road, doesn't matter. Steph and Klay have balls of titanium. Those guys are champs. Probably not this year, but in general - they are ****ing champs. I hate them as much as...

    Once again I am super proud to be a fan of this franchise

    High character group, man. The Millers set the tone and everyone from Dennis down to the 15th guy on the roster are all high-level competitors. Down 3-0 after a kick-in-the-balls loss it would have been easy for a lot of teams to fold up the tent but these guys fought their *** off. I also...

    Those 2 fouls on Rudy tonight...

    Love you, Rudy.

    Deepest Jazz team since...?

    PG - Ricky, Dante, Raul SG - Donovan, Royce, Alec, Grayson SF - Ingles, Sefolosha PF - Derrick, Crowder, Jonas* C - Rudy, Ekpe*, Tony B. *if guaranteed Formidable, flexible, and deep. With a full squad, we'll have some damn good players getting DNP-Inactives. I continue to be extremely...

    Great quotes from Donovan Mitchell workout

    Donovan Mitchell discusses decision to work out: The most intriguing player to work out on Saturday was Louisville sophomore guard Donovan Mitchell, as many are projecting he’ll be off the board by the time the Jazz’s first pick comes at No. 24. So why did the combo guard come to Salt Lake...

    Alec Burks

    Is he alive? Is there any updated timetable on his return? I no longer factor him into long-term plans, but for this season alone, if we could add a serviceable Burks and healthy George Hill back to this rotation, watch out.

    Rudy is a God

    Discuss. Never thought he'd play at this level offensively.

    George Hill - WTF

    It is flat-out bizarre how much we suck without him. Seriously - is he THAT good? We're dominant with him, and couldn't beat your local CYO team without him.

    Projected Roster

    Looks like Neto, Pleiss, and Lyles will all be signed, perhaps as early this week. Updated depth chart: PG - Exum, Burke, Neto SG - Burks, Hood SF - Hayward, Ingles PF - Favors, Lyles, Jerrett (I believe he's on a guaranteed deal) C - Gobert, Pleiss That's 13 right there - spots are filling up...

    2014-2015 Outlook?

    Obviously the offseason is not over, but realistically we won't be adding any major free agents (more likely one-year rentals on expiring deals). PG - Burke, Neto SG - Burks, Exum, FA SF - Hayward, Hood, FA PF - Kanter, Evans C - Favors, Tomic, Gobert Unbelievable how young this roster...

    Draft day Big Board

    Alright kids. 1-10, rank them. Who you got? 1. Andrew Wiggins - best talent in the draft after Embiid's injury. Otherworldly athleticism. Hasn't even begun to pull it all together but could be an all-timer if he does. 2. Jabari Parker - he'll get you 25 a night, is a stand-up guy, and will...
