Dennis Lindsey joined “The Big Show” on Friday afternoon to provide the “Utah Jazz Insider Report” as the general manager and company was putting the finishing touches on their pitches for free agents, including Derrick Favors, Dante Exum, and Raul Neto.


"We had a good year, and our 3 incumbent free agents, for lack of a better description, had a lot to do with that, especially when healthy."

"Look, we win a lot of games on the value and production that Rudy and Derrick give us at the five. It's not only Rudy but the other 14 minutes Derrick gives us where we're holding leads or taking leads." -DL

Other dates for Jazz player contracts:
Thabo- July 1, DL says "he's healthy and doing well"
Jerebko and Udoh- July 9th

Lindsey: "We have some optionality. We're going through all those iterations and we will hold those conversations close to the vest."

What Lindsey wants to see out of his team at summer league(s):

"As always play Utah Jazz basketball. Defend great, share the ball, put the team first. There's a lot of ways you can make the Utah Jazz a better team."

"It doesn't take a trained eye to see his body has developed, and he's kept his speed post ACL surgery. So we're excited about him and the meeting we're going to have with him, and we're confident in our projections that he's going to be a very good NBA player." -DL on Exum

Dennis Lindsey says the focus on defensive prowess is why the Jazz feel "we can go anywhere, on any night, and beat the best teams. And we did that last year."

"We can put to bed [the idea] that they can't function together. We've got literally thousands of minutes [of film] that says not only can they function together but they function WELL together." -DL on Gobert & Favs on floor at same time
