Our Team Is On The Floor

The NBA Draft Lottery is now behind us and while I think I can speak for EVERYONE when I say that I wish it went a little differently, we have to look toward the future. I’ll be linking all of our in-depth draft profiles to each player (we worked really hard on these, after all) […]
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. […]
It all comes down to this! Tomorrow is the biggest of the season for all the teams at the bottom of the standings. The Utah Jazz did everything they could to set themselves up for the most successful possible outcome in the lottery. The lottery is one of the most fascinating nights in all of […]
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. […]
With an early exit from the playoffs, it looks like there’s trouble in Celtics land. There’s also reports out there that there might be something possible between the Milwaukee Bucks and the Boston Celtics. It’s a trade that makes sense for both sides but if the Bucks decide they’re not interested in Brown maybe the […]
One could argue that Sunday marks one of the biggest days the Jazz have seen in a long time, easily the biggest since the Jazz were in a very similar situation a year ago. While the 2026 NBA Draft has recently lost a lot of its depth, it remains incredibly strong at the top, and […]
As hilarious as it would have been to send one final middle finger in the direction of the Oklahoma City Thunder, Derrick Favors will not be the Utah Jazz’s representative for the 2026 NBA Draft Lottery. I know, I know. How poetic would it have been to display the long-tenured Jazzman on the podium as […]
According to Michael Grange, the Utah Jazz outbid the Toronto Raptors for Jaren Jackson Jr. during the trade deadline. From Grange: leading up to trade deadline in February, the Raptors were working hard to try and make a deal that would land them Jaren Jackson Jr. from the Memphis Grizzlies before he was ultimately traded […]
According to Sportando, the Utah Jazz are adding Ben Gonzalez to their front office. According to the Georgia Bulldogs Men’s Basketball site: Ben Gonzalez was named the Director of Operations for Georgia Basketball in April 2022. Gonzalez arrived in Athens after spending the past four seasons in the same role at Florida Atlantic. He also […]
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 […]
According to Jake Fischer, the Blazers will “field plenty of external trade interest in (Jrue) Holiday in coming weeks and months.” Fischer also writes that Holiday hopes it doesn’t happen and wants to be a part of something and build. Too bad. Holiday might be the perfect addition for this Utah Jazz team, and if […]

According to Shams Charania, he expects the Detroit Pistons to go star hunting this season, and that could mean Lauri Markkanen. So, apparently, the Pistons will look to find players that fit their timeline, and Lauri Markkanen and Trey Murphy III fit the mold. Here we go again… Like all the trade rumors we saw […]
The NBA has leaked its potential plan to deter tanking, which appears to be a complete overhaul of the current lottery rules. Shams Charania wrote about it, but here are some of the quick details. The lottery balls become much simpler in the new 3-2-1 method. If I’m understanding this correctly, here’s a breakdown of […]

Still 12 days out from the pivotal day, let’s take a look at some of the players that national outlets have the Jazz selecting […]
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 […]
Electric, uber-athletic wings that shoot the ball at a high clip tend to be some of the most coveted types of players that NBA fans adore. Cameron Carr is one of those players who is easy to fall in love with at first sight because of how fun he is to watch and because of […]
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 […]
While jack-of-all-trades prospects are tantalizing, the players who become special at the highest level were very often uniquely gifted at one skill or another as prospects. If you want to be great in the NBA, you need something to hang your hat on, a talent that teams will seek out and incentivize them to work […]
BREAKING NEWS!!! To absolutely nobody, while I’m sure many BYU fans out there were crossing their fingers, holding out hope AJ Dybantsa would run it back for one more year, that stuff simply doesn’t happen. Cooper Flagg played with the same gimmick last year as well. These top prospects need to give their fans a break […]
One of the most important elements of this site, the thing I find close to sacred, is that we don’t censor what we say or do. That is for other sites or reporters to do, whether it’s to stay in the good graces of the team’s PR department or of their sources. At SLC Dunk, […]
