Here’s the new-look Jazz roster after the 2026 NBA trade deadline
It’s been a much more interesting NBA Trade Deadline than Utah Jazz fans ever expected. The trade for Jaren Jackson Jr. has signaled a clear shift toward a more winning focus next season. Here’s a summary of where things stand for the team after the NBA trade deadline: The players and picks the Jazz acquired: […]
Preview: Utah Jazz pass by Atlanta Hawks on the tanking trail
Not to sound arrogant, but I feel empathetic toward the Atlanta Hawks right now. They’re a team that sincerely felt capable of competing in the playoffs at the dawn of this season, but are now torn to pieces. Atlanta’s former self can be seen in just the scraps left behind in the trade deadline, but […]
Utah Jazz trade draft rights of lesser known player to the Thunder
According to Brandon Rahbar, the Utah Jazz have traded the draft rights to Balsa Koprivica for cash considerations. File this one under players that I didn’t realize the Jazz had. Koprivica was drafted in the second round by the Detroit Pistons in 2021. The Jazz acquired those rights in 2024 from the Los Angeles Clippers. […]
Utah’s patient rebuild vs Washington’s hasty hyper-construction
There exist two rebuilding forces in today’s NBA. Though similar in intent, they are vastly different in method. And thanks to the recent action on the trade block, two perfect anecdotal examples have surfaced in two of the league’s franchises. The Washington Wizards and the Utah Jazz. Two teams united in purpose, but divided in […]
Utah Jazz trade update: Jock Landale out, Lonzo Ball in, Lonzo Ball back out
What’s this feeling in my head? Whiplash? Dizziness? The Utah Jazz are not finished making last-second moves before the Feb 5 trade deadline after an eight-player swaperoo that sent Clayton, Hendricks, Anderson, Niang, and three firsts to Memphis in exchange for Jaren Jackson Jr, John Konchar, Vince Williams, and Jock Landale. RELATED: Utah trades for […]
Utah Jazz vs Indiana Pacers: Player Grades
February 3rd, 2026 offered a fascinating piece of juxtaposition for Jazz fans. In the morning, we get as exhilarating a deal as could’ve been whipped up on the trade machine, promising high aspirations and higher stakes starting in 2026-2027. In the evening, a contest between two organizations battling to have the lowest aspirations of the […]
The Downbeat: Utah trades for Jaren Jackson Jr, a history
They did it. The Utah Jazz front office pooled its expansive war chest of assets and took aim at a game-changing, contribute-today type of player. From my home in Japan, I woke up to a vibrating hailstorm of NBA alerts, which made my 7:00 alarm entirely obsolete. Much better to be awoken by good news […]
Post Game Recap: Utah Jazz vs Indiana Pacers
With the Utah Jazz limited to 8 players tonight, due to the Jazz’s blockbuster trade acquisition of Jaren Jackson Jr. (and “illnesses”), they still found a way to beat the Pacers 131-122. The Pacers also had an unfortunate case of the flu, which happened to spread throughout their entire team; ultimately leaving them with 7 […]
NBA trade analysis: What does the Jaren Jackson Jr. trade mean for the Utah Jazz?
After weeks of reports saying that the Jazz were likely not going to make any big moves at the trade deadline, Utah’s front office dropped a nuke on the NBA landscape that nobody — Jazz fan or not — saw coming. On Tuesday morning, the Memphis Grizzlies agreed to send former defensive player of the […]
Utah Jazz trade for Jaren Jackson Jr. from the Memphis Grizzlies
According to Shams Charania, the Utah Jazz have traded for Jaren Jackson Jr. Also included in the trade are John Konchar, Jock Landale, and Vince Williams Jr. Utah sends Walter Clayton Jr., Kyle Anderson, Taylor Hendricks, Georges Niange, and three picks. What are those picks? They include the most favorable 2027 first-round pick between Utah/Cleveland/Minnesota, […]
Utah Jazz vs Indiana Pacers preview: Nothin’ ethical about it
The road trip continues, as the Jazz are welcomed by our fellow bottom-of-the-league dwellers in Indiana. Viewers have been warned: This game will contain a substantial amount of unethical tanking. Utah is slowly sinking into what they were always meant to become, currently sitting 13th in the West with a 15-35 record. Whilst our fellow […]
Utah Jazz vs Toronto Raptors Player Grades: Individual Bright Spots in a Tough Team Loss
The Utah Jazz lost 107-100 in Toronto, it was competitive all night, but Utah just couldn’t catch a rhythm from deep and had too many sloppy possessions that the Raptors turned into easy points. The Jazz stayed within striking distance all night and had their chances late, but never quite found enough consistent offense to […]
Utah Jazz vs Toronto Raptors recap and final score – Losses trend in the North direction
As much to the disappointment of Los Utah Jazz and all the fans in South America, the Jazz finished their longest homestand of the season with a 1-5 record; that one win came on a career-high night for Keyonte George. But maybe they weren’t as disappointed, since the Jazz are now closer to the league’s […]
Utah Jazz get zero all-star bids as Lauri Markkanen and Keyonte George miss the cut
Any hope that the Utah Jazz could get a player to Los Angeles for NBA All-star weekend now resides in the form of an injury replacement. And even then, it’s a long shot. On Sunday, the NBA announced its Western Conference all-star rosters, and candidates Keyonte George and Lauri Markkanen failed to make the list […]
Utah Jazz vs Toronto Raptors: Preview, start time, injury report, channel
The Utah Jazz will take on the Toronto Raptors to kick off a five-game road trip. Utah is 1-9 in their last ten and on a fast track to the top of the lottery standings. Toronto is going in the other direction. They’re 29-21 for the season and are sitting at 4th in the Eastern […]
Utah Jazz vs Brooklyn Nets Player Grades
The Jazz lost this one 109-99 to the Brooklyn Nets. They kept it close for the majority of this game, but in the end Cam Thomas and Egor Demin outgunned the Jazz. That pretty much sums this one up. I think the tanking this year has numbed my brain, but it will all be worth […]
Utah Jazz vs Brooklyn Nets: Recap and final score
The Utah Jazz were extremely successful tanking lost to the Brooklyn Nets 109-99. It was a battle of wills between two teams very interested in adding lottery talent to their teams. The Nets won but it was very much not he outcome they probably wanted. Don’t forget, the Jazz and Nets both had bad lottery […]
Brooklyn Nets vs Utah Jazz: preview, start time, channel
The Utah Jazz will host the Brooklyn Nets in a classic tank-off. Brooklyn is currently ahead of Utah in the draft standings with a record of 12-34. Utah, 3.5 games behind at a record of 15-33, could make a significant close in the gap with the loss tonight. The Jazz, who according to Austin Ainge […]
Utah Jazz free agency rumors: New intel on the Wizards and Walker Kessler
It was reported a few days ago about the Washington Wizards’ interest in Walker Kessler by Tim MacMahon. Michael Scotto added some new insight to that interest in Kessler. From Scotto: The Washington Wizards are the latest team, per ESPN’s Tim MacMahon, interested in Utah Jazz enter Walker Kessler. Previously, the Indiana Pacers and Los Angeles […]
Utah Jazz player grades: report cards from Utah’s loss to Golden State
If I were an actual teacher, I’d be quite tempted to dock the entire class points for what was, by all accounts, a thorough and unquestionable defeat to the shorthanded Golden State Warriors. Defensively, the Jazz resisted with all the integrity of a five-cent water balloon as the visitors sliced, diced, and tore through Utah’s […]
Golden State Warriors vs. Utah Jazz: Recap and Final Score
The Utah Jazz have dropped their fourth-straight game after tonight’s loss against the Golden State Warriors. The final score was 140-124. As is the case most nights, Utah struggled tremendously on defense. Utah allowed Golden State to attempt 54 attempts from behind the arc, with the Warriors connecting on 43% of them. Sure, the Warriors […]
NBA Trade Rumors: Utah Jazz involvement revealed in upcoming trades
In the latest Stein Line, Marc Stein reveals the Utah Jazz will be active this trade season, but it’s not likely to be for a big name. From Marc Stein: With various teams hard-capped at the first apron or just trying to remain below that threshold — or out of the luxury tax altogether — […]
Utah Jazz vs Los Angeles Clippers Player Grades
The Jazz had their first nationally televised game, and it did not disappoint… for the first half. In the second half, they fell apart and struggled mightily without Keyonte George. They also faced some familiar faces in John Collins, and Kriss Dunn. Dunn had a fantastic night, notching 5 steals and 14 points. These were […]
Utah Jazz vs Golden State Warriors: preview, start time, channel
The Utah Jazz will take on the Golden State Warriors with a mostly full strength team, something that hasn’t happened in some time. Lauri Markkanen is back after returning yesterday against the Los Angeles Clippers. The Jazz were without Jusuf Nurkic and Keyonte George in that one and were soundly beaten. Today, on the back […]
Utah Jazz vs Los Angeles Clippers: Recap and final score
Lauri Markkanen finally returned for the Utah Jazz tonight, but the young squad was unable to hang with the Los Angeles Clippers. In the end and after a valiant fight (even holding a lead for much of the 1st half), Utah fell to the Clips with a score of 115-103. The 2nd half ended up […]
