Utah wins a coin flip: somewhere, Sam Presti utters a profanity
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 […]
New Donovan Mitchell rumor could be huge for the Utah Jazz
According to Fred Katz, the Cleveland Cavaliers will discuss moving Donovan Mitchell if they aren’t able to get an extension done this summer.

An Ode to Utah Jazz Tank Commanders Past and Present
In honor of the merciful conclusion to the Utah Jazz’s tanking era, let’s take a look back at some of the players who were instrumental in securing better draft odds and the hope of a playoff appearance next season. Referring to these players as tank commanders is not derogatory nor is it meant to degrade […]
The NBA’s newest ‘tanking fix’ creates an even bigger problem
What happens when you solve a problem with another problem? Adam Silver and the NBA’s campaign to abolish the practice of tanking has creased another wrinkle, as the newest proposal to cure professional basketball of its blood-sucking parasite has been revealed to the public. Their solution? Eliminate the incentive to tank by completely erasing the […]

Utah Jazz vs Los Angeles Lakers Recap: The season has come to a close!
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 Utah Jazz Need Yaxel Lendeborg: Prospect Profile
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 […]
Utah Jazz vs Los Angeles Lakers Preview: It’s the season finale!

In our most recent Utah Jazz Fan Reacts survey, we’re looking forward to what is likely going to be an incredibly consequential offseason.

Utah Jazz sign new defense-first guard
According to Shams Charania, the Utah Jazz signed Hayden Gray to a two-year contract. Gray is known as a defense-first guard who fits the mold of recent signings the Jazz have made. We saw the Jazz sign Bez Mbeng to a two-year contract, who was also a high-level defender in college. At UC San Diego, […]
2025-26 has been the year of the triple-double for the Utah Jazz
In 20 years at a sports bar trivia night, the host will ask, “There’s only been one time ever where two bench players on the same team recorded a triple-double in the same game. Who were those two players?” And when the answer is revealed to be Bez Mbeng and John Konchar for the Utah […]
Recap: Utah Jazz vs Memphis Grizzlies, how many triple-doubles are too many?
If the Utah Jazz were fined $500,000 for suspected tanking in a game that they won, Adam Silver had better be aligning the crosshairs of his catastrophic death laser (every NBA commissioner has had one since Larry O’Brien had his commissioned back in ‘83) directly at the Memphis Grizzlies. If Utah’s tanking was worth half […]
Memphis Grizzlies vs Utah Jazz Player Grades: A Blowout for the Record Books
It was Fan Appreciation Night in Salt Lake and boy, did the home team give the fans something to appreciate, as the Jazz beat down the shorthanded Grizzlies by 46. Two Jazz bench players recorded triple doubles, a feat unparalleled in living memory. Kennedy Chandler – A- Kennedy’s speed is reminiscent of Isaiah Collier, but […]
Utah Jazz vs Memphis Grizzlies preview: Ultimate ball knowledge test
I apologize first of all to you, reader, to have to strengthen your mental fortitude to have the mental capacity to withstand the horrors you will certainly witness tonight.

Utah Jazz Reacts Survey: Which development player on the Jazz are you keeping?
The Utah Jazz season is nearing an incredibly important lottery, and Jazz fans will be watching the lottery balls closely. But whether the Jazz jump in the lottery or not, the Jazz have had some rookies and prospects make an impact during the current rebuild. Utah can’t likely keep all of them, and so that’s […]
NBA Draft Profile: Is Keaton Wagler Plan B?
Of course, Utah is throwing every good luck charm they have into acquiring a top 3 selection in this year’s draft. AJ Dybantsa would be a match made in heaven. Darryn Peterson has the best fit. Cameron Boozer follows in Papa Carlos’ footsteps. Utah is also perfectly fine standing pat at 4, if it means […]
Utah Jazz vs New Orleans Pelicans recap: The Jazz are TankMaxxing
In a game the Utah Jazz had to lose, they got the job done in a big way against the New Orleans Pelicans, losing 156-137. Defense was absolutely optional in this one, but it was exceptionally bad for the Utah Jazz, who somehow gave up 156 points. But this is not something to be shamed […]
Utah Jazz vs New Orleans Pelicans Player Grades
Jazz lose. Nets win. You can’t ask for a more successful night at this point in the season. Hopefully the Kings can win tonight to complete a perfect night for the Jazz. Cody Williams – C Cody had a pair of airballs tonight, and also went 0-5 from deep, but his midrange shot continues to […]

NBA Draft Profile: Cameron Boozer might’ve been destined to follow his dad’s footsteps
Let’s be honest, Cameron Boozer’s name was never in the conversation for #1, and he has slim chances at being #2. Even his projected #3 spot has been infiltrated by names such as Caleb Wilson or Darius Acuff. Much like his father, who we should all be aware of by now if you dare call […]
Jazz vs Thunder player grades: Checking in after the hurricane
I was very tempted to tally every Jazzman tonight to a D or lower, but I had to remind myself who we’re dealing with. No one who is sane thought there was possibly a conceivable chance that the Jazz could have the hope of maybe winning this game by a long shot. The Jazz defense […]
Utah Jazz vs. Oklahoma City Thunder: Recap and Final Score
The Utah Jazz lost to the Oklahoma City Thunder, with a final score of 111-146 in a game that was never particularly close. In a matchup of the Williams brothers, the older, more All-Star of the two, won handily. Jalen Williams finished with 15 points and 7 assists in only 26 minutes, whereas the younger […]
Preview: Utah Jazz caught in an Oklahoma City Thunderstorm without an umbrella
My significant other suggested that I ask each of you to “tuna in” to the Utah Jazz’s upcoming contest against the Oklahoma City Thunder. I don’t know what could have possibly possessed her to ask this of me, nor have I figured out what tuna could have to do with a basketball game of any […]
