Five biggest storylines for the upcoming Jazz season
It’s one of the most anticipated seasons in Jazz history since they went for a repeat run to the Finals against Michael Jordan. Utah has been preparing for this new chapter for literal years, and they have the personnel to become something really special. Let’s take a look at five of the most interesting storylines […]
Survey Results: How Jazz fans feel about the Cody Williams trade
The Utah Jazz have made multiple unexpected moves this offseason, including the Cody Williams trade. Immediately when the trade happens, it’s hard to say how much you actually liked the move. With a little time having passed, Jazz fans have been able to digest all the elements of the trade, and here’s how happy they […]
Proof that Keyonte George will evolve into an all-star next season
Keyonte George was easily one of the most underrated players in the NBA last season. Surrounded by a cast of teammates that was pared down week after week, George continued to put up fantastic numbers as the most consistent playmaker for the season. Never forget the list of players like Kennedy Chandler, Walter Clayton, Andersson […]
Utah Jazz Reacts: Post-Cody Williams Trade Reaction
With it being almost a week since the Cody Williams trade to the Minnesota Timberwolves, the dust has settled. But we haven’t really gotten a pulse on exactly how Jazz fans felt about it. That’s the center of the question for this week’s Utah Jazz Reacts survey. Did you feel like it was enough? Was […]

Utah Jazz Top 10 Trade Value Rankings – 2026/27
In the spirit of Bill Simmons and his NBA trade-value rankings, I wanted to rank the Utah Jazz players by how valuable they are as prospects. Just like with Bill Simmons’ trade value rankings, this isn’t ranking players from best to worst (even though that is a consideration) but rather a list of who is […]
The Five Stages of Cody Williams left Utah scarred
The only thing less rewarding than watching Cody Williams play basketball was holding to the hope that he could develop into a talented NBA-level contributor. The second lottery pick of the tanking era, the Utah Jazz selected Williams with the 10th overall pick in what was a putrid NBA Draft class. We knew it would […]
Jazz Sign Matthew Murrell to Contract
The Utah Jazz recently announced they have signed guard/wing Matthew Murrell to a contract. The details are undisclosed, but this deal is likely an Exhibit 10 contract – this means it will function primarily as a training camp contract, while providing Murrell a financial incentive to remain in Utah with the Jazz’s affiliate G-League team, […]
BREAKING: Jazz Trade Williams, Konchar to Minnesota
Late Friday night, Shams Charania reported that the Jazz and Wolves had completed a trade: One of the most persistent questions in Jazzland over the past two years or so looms large: Is Cody Williams a bust? If you are Justin Zanik and/or Austin Ainge, it appears the answer is yes. After being drafted in […]
Utah Jazz Reacts: Jazz fans grade the offseason
Jazz fans have had one of the most eventful offseasons I can remember. Arguably the greatest prospect in team history was drafted while a massive trade for their starting center surprised everyone. So how do Jazz fans feel about it? Well, that was the point of this week’s Jazz Reacts survey. So there you have […]
The state of Utah Jazz media in 2026
The Utah Jazz are poised to make their franchise’s first playoff run since 2022. Unfortunately for fans of the purple and baby blue — and for three years, neon yellow — there will be four fewer beat reporters covering the team than there were just one year ago. On Thursday, the Deseret News’ Sarah Todd […]
Utah Jazz Reacts: How would you grade the Jazz offseason?
The Utah Jazz have had one of the most eventful offseasons I can remember. It’s been filled with ups and downs, rumors, victories in the lottery, and losing players in free agency. The quickest of recaps is that the Jazz won the lottery after another year of tanking, or to be more specific, a full […]
Jaren Jackson Jr. is going to have a monster season
Before I start, I wanted to give some shoutouts to some great resource material that has helped me understand some things better about Jaren Jackson Jr. First, if you haven’t read Parker Fleming’s Substack, he does great work on the Grizzlies, and you can find incredible work from him on Jaren Jackson Jr. This article […]
The Utah Jazz ‘Ball Knowledge’ Epidemic
In basketball, ‘ball knowledge’ refers to an internet trend where fans remember obscure, random role players from the past. One mentions Lucas Nogueira. Another name-drops Chris Copeland. Everyone in the room death stares at the guy who deems Monte Ellis as ‘elite ball knowledge’. But what constitutes as Utah Jazz ball knowledge? The Kyle Korvers […]
The Power of Friendship will propel the Utah Jazz
At the risk of dinging my cool guy/super athlete online persona, I’ve been playing a lot of Xenoblade Chronicles 2 on my Switch 2 lately. When working as a freelance writer, one is inclined to collect as many contracts as possible, and in my case, one of those contracts is as a video game reviewer. […]
Discussion: What Are The Best “Micro-Skills” In Franchise History?
Joe Ingles is returning to the NBL, and, like any of us would, his home nation has questions regarding his 12 year NBA career. Ingles recently sat down with Pete Hooley (former NBL Champion) for an interview/test of his memory on his time playing basketball in the United States – naturally, this conversation centered around […]
Jazz fans voted this bench player to be the most impactful next season
In our latest Jazz Reacts survey, I asked Jazz fans which of our draft picks that will come off the bench will have the most impact next season. I focused on the Jazz draft picks because I’m only allowed 4 choices it’ll be fascinating to see who of them, if any, can take things to […]
NBA Offseason Rumors: Utah’s trade priority revealed
The Utah Jazz have had an incredible offseason by all accounts. Whether it was the luck of winning the lottery and getting Darryn Peterson with the second pick, or getting an incredible haul for Walker Kessler in a trade that took advantage of a desperate Lakers squad. With the recent ownership drama with the Lakers, […]
The Utah Jazz couldn’t have asked for a better early schedule
Goodness gracious, talk about a schedule. With a slew of opponents that will likely compete for lottery balls instead of wins, and two challenging opponents who can provide a measuring stick for an upstart roster. The Utah Jazz open the 2026-27 regular season in the same way I open the front door to the local […]
Utah Jazz Reacts: Which draft pick off the bench will have the biggest impact?
The Utah Jazz are going into the season with a pretty clear core of five players that Jazz fans are looking most forward to watching: Darryn Peterson, Keyonte George, Jaren Jackson Jr., Ace Bailey, and Lauri Markkanen. But winning teams can’t win only with their stars, they need role and bench players contributing as well. […]
I Did a Deep Dive on Jaxson Hayes. Here’s What I Learned.
Do you remember how nice it was when the Jazz used to have a good defense? I won’t blame you if you say no – 2022 was the last defense Utah has put forth that has been above league average, and even then, everyone knew it was a paper tiger. In recent years, the Jazz […]
Jazz Reacts: Here’s how excited Jazz fans are for this season
For what feels like the first time in some time, the excitement is palpable for the upcoming Utah Jazz season. With the addition of Darryn Peterson in the lottery, the addition of Jaren Jackson Jr., and the clear goal of pushing for wins, Jazz fans are excited for a season like they haven’t been since […]
Utah Jazz Regular Season Schedule Released
The Utah Jazz regular season schedule was released today. The Jazz did a great job with the reveal, with this amazing video featuring Thurl Bailey. Here’s a look at the full schedule from the Jazz. Some quick notes of interest. The return of Walker Kessler is just three games into the season (10/25). It’ll be […]
Utah Jazz face stiff competition in the NBA preseason
I hope you aren’t banking on the reformed Utah Jazz to go undefeated through preseason play, because your first peek at the new-era Jazz will be against some of the biggest stars in the NBA. Namely, Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets, followed immediately by a dance with Victor Wembanyama and the runner-up San Antonio […]
Jazz Fan Survey: How excited are you about this season?
This season, the Jazz will be trying something they haven’t tried for four years: to make the playoffs. There is a real shot for them to make it, too. With the addition of Jaren Jackson Jr. from the Grizzlies and Darryn Peterson from the draft, they’ve added some top-tier talent. Combine that with the leap […]
