Utah Jazz guarantee Svi Mykhailiuk for the 2025-26 season

[NUMBERICA]

I can't figure out Austin Ainge. Feels like he's just flipping coins.

 

[Moonlight Graham]

I get that we have to be bad next year, but this is a dark time for Jazz fans.

Outside of drafting Ace Bailey and WCJ, what moves has AA made that really signal “dark times”?

Trading Sexton away?
Cutting Clarkson?
Cutting Juzang, but keeping Myhailiuk?

Please lay off the hyperbole. You guys are making all these moves out to be WAY more important than they actually are. None of those moves are franchise breaking deals.

surprised but really no drama If we're so desperate he can play a bit but obv is ok with not playing and won't get in the way. Or yeah salary for trade

I agree. The handwringing over a bunch of end of the bench guys is hilarious.

Svi had some good moments last season but they were few and far between. One of the games at Portland where the Jazz put a beat down on the Blazers was one of them. I have to admit I was surprised when they brought him back.

Austin Ainge stacking "good decisions".

 

[stitches]

Svi might be more OK just collecting a check and not playing

very weird fit here. jazz must be convinced he's that damn good.

Svi is the worst. Takes possessions away from the young guys, isn't fun to watch, doesn't have any growth potential or trade value... I just don't get it.

Why Svi over Juzang… makes no damn sense and Svi is my least favorite player to watch. Never seen a scrub take so many liberties with the ball in hand.

It might be ethical, but it doesn't feel very good.

 

[George W]

A bit shocked by this, but at the same time, I guess being from Boston he has a level of familiarity with AA. He also has a slightly bigger contract than Juzang, so maybe it's for a trade?

my first thought -- clearly has more trade value

This is like a stain on the jazz record, like tomato smushed into a white carpet. I mean it’s smushed in there real good.

It’s gonna feel good when we get a top 5 pick in a great draft.
