DETROIT — Over the past seven months, Donovan Mitchell made sure to remind every reporter he could that this season wasn’t the same as the previous. “We got to let last year go,” Mitchell said back in November. “This is a whole different season. Everybody around us got better. It’s a different season. I think […]
After reigning MVP and the runner-up for MVP in 2019, James Harden and the rest of the Houston Rockets gentlemen-swept the Utah Jazz 4-1 in April of 2019 and beat the Jazz for the second year in a row in the playoffs, the Jazz decided it was time to change it up and “upgrade” the […]
Talk about a brutal interview! Here’s a question that Utah Jazz owner Ryan Smith asked Cameron Boozer: “Carlos (Boozer) could only take us to the Western Conference Finals. What do you think you could do?” Well damn. Really, it’s a two-level question, or possibly three. The first level is psychological. It’s the sort of question […]

The NBA draft lottery has come and gone, and now it is time to think very critically about the potential options for the Jazz at the #2 selection. However, I am going to leave that job for someone smarter than myself – instead, I will view the awe-inspiring Mr. Darryn Peterson through the lens of […]
It’s been a big day for the top prospects in the NBA draft, and there were some surprising results for the prospects the Utah Jazz will be looking at in the Draft. Here are some of the most important highlights. AJ Dybantsa A lot of eyes were on Dybantsa as he came into the draft […]
It happened. The Utah Jazz moved up in the NBA Draft Lottery. After three years of soul-searching, serial-killer-esque bulletin-boarding, and mass panic flowing through the bloodstream of every resident in the greater Salt Lake City area (you remember), all of the tanking has been worth it. An empty viewing experience, hoping your team loses every […]
An instant reaction to the NBA draft lottery results. The integrity! Won’t someone please think of the integrity? The Utah Jazz have moved up in the draft for the first time in franchise history. They will be picking 2nd overall. The tanking, resting starters in the fourth, and fines have all lead to this moment. […]
UPDATE: The Washington Wizards have won the 2026 NBA Draft Lottery, securing the No. 1 overall pick in June’s NBA Draft. The Utah Jazz (No. 2), Memphis Grizzlies (No. 3), Chicago Bulls (No. 4) and Los Angeles Clippers (No. 5, via the Pacers) round out the top five. Additionally, the LA Clippers’ own pick entered […]
This Mother’s Day is probably the most consequential Mother’s Day in Utah Jazz history (I haven’t checked, I’m guessing, okay). The thing the NBA doesn’t realize is that it’s going to be consequential for the entire league, as well. Utah, even if they somehow lost their pick this year, would still be a playoff contender. […]
We’re in the thick of the playoffs now and without our Jazzmen to root for it has me thinking about our very bright future. Assuming that everyone comes back, we have: There are a lot of reasons to be excited for next season, and while I would love to sit here and pretend like we […]

The NBA Draft class of 2026 appears to be absolutely nothing like the 2024 draft class, and for that, we give thanks to the basketball gods. Tangible star power that bleeds beyond the top pick has forced nearly a third of the good citizens of the league to sabotage this year’s crop for the prospects […]
According to Michael Pina, the Utah Jazz would be one of many teams that would have a varying degree of interest in Kevin Durant if he becomes available. From Pina’s article: The Rockets thought that KD was their missing piece, and instead, there’s a chance they’ll turn him into a stepping stone this summer. It turns […]
For nine seasons, I defended all of Rudy Gobert’s flaws. His poor dribbling, his horrendous shooting, how goofy he looks when he defends one-on-one outside the paint. Even with all Gobert’s quirks, I knew how valuable he was to the Jazz for a near-decade. Once he was traded out of Utah, it was a nice […]
The Utah Jazz announced the return of the Salt Lake City Summer League for 2026. Once again, it will be a four-team, six-game event hosted by the Utah Jazz. Here are the details: It will inc This has the potential to be an electric summer league. Utah, Atlanta, and Memphis all have great odds to […]
The Utah Jazz rejoice as a coin flip for the 4th-best lottery odds fell in their favor, securing the first-round pick away from Oklahoma City’s greedy clutches. At the fifth odds, there was a chance of slipping to the ninth pick and falling out of the top-8 protection bubble. At four, those odds are erased […]

The Utah Jazz season is over, and today was the media availability. Here are some of the most interesting quotes from today. Kevin Love “I’ve had a truly great experience here… Me and Jusuf Nurkic would be back here in an instant.” This is a great sign for those that want Jusuf Nurkic back. It’s […]
In their final regular season game, the Lakers routed a tanking Utah Jazz team for their 53rd win, the most for the franchise since 2010-11. All the machinations of surviving a grueling 82 games are over and the brain trust now shifts its focus towards the playoffs. The unfortunate injuries to Luka Dončić and Austin […]
After an exhausting, long NBA season, it was nice to go about Sunday’s game stress-free. There were some stakes involved as the Lakers could still finish either the third or fourth seed. However, LA pretty quickly took control of the game and moved into cruise control as early as the start of the second half. […]
The Utah Jazz had their final game of the season, but also the rebuild. It will not be remembered long as the outcome was expected, an easy win for the Lakers 131-107. There were some things to take away for the Jazz. They played hard in this one, much like they’ve done all season, regardless […]
The Lakers closed the regular season with a 131-107 blowout victory over the Utah Jazz on Sunday night. The team played the first half at full strength, but sat LeBron James and Luke Kennard for the second half. It mattered little as the Jazz are one of the sorrier teams of the season and had […]
The Utah Jazz are planning on winning in the coming years, and Yaxel Lendeborg should be a serious candidate for them even if they land somewhere in the top 5 come May/June. Draft Philosophy First, I want to start with my personal draft philosophy and why I believe Yaxel checks every box of what a […]
