David Locke didn’t just build a podcast. He built what has become one of sports media’s biggest podcast networks. In an excellent profile by Gordon Monson of The Salt Lake Tribune, the longtime Jazz radio voice explained how a simple idea centered on team-specific coverage eventually grew into the Locked On Podcast Network, now featuring […]

As big of a fan as I am of basketball, I am JUST as big of a fan of the world of footy. Every four years a huge percentage of American’s pretend to care about the game for a few weeks up until the point that the USMNT loses in the knockout rounds, and then […]
Although the Los Angeles Lakers met with restricted free agent Jalen Duren when free agency opened, their primary objective was always to acquire Walker Kessler, according to Marc Stein of The Stein Line.

In our latest Jazz Reacts survey, I asked who Jazz fans think will have the best career between Darryn Peterson, AJ Dybantsa, Caleb Wilson, and Cam Boozer. Here’s how Jazz fans feel. Probably not a surprise that Jazz fans believe that the Jazz prospect will have the best career. But it’s not a stretch to […]
According to Marc Stein, the Dallas Mavericks are fielding offers for Daniel Gafford. Stein goes on to say: Is Daniel Gafford going to be on this team by season’s end? It’s not an answerable question at this point. We know he’s available. This is the perfect type of move for the Utah Jazz. Gafford isn’t […]
Jazz guard Darryn Peterson faced some questions about his competitive desire from fans and the media due to the cramping issues that plagued his freshman season at Kansas, but people who know him best nearly universally describe the No. 2 overall pick as having a “killer” mentality on the court, writes Jason Batacao of The […]
The Utah Jazz won their final summer league game against the Portland Trail Blazers 83-79. It was a fun game that came down to the wire, with a few Jazz players showing promise that could help the team. The player who surprisingly didn’t help as much as you’d hope was Blake Hinson, who shot just […]
The Portland Trail Blazers came up short against the Utah Jazz by the score of 83-79 on Friday night in the final NBA Summer League game for both teams. The Blazers finished the annual tournament with a record of 2-3. Fatigue was clearly a factor in this one, as the game noticeably slowed down after […]
LeBron James tells Tyrese Haliburton he could average 10 points per game at 65.
The Utah Jazz will take on the Portland Trail Blazers in their last game of the Las Vegas Summer League. They will also be doing it without their three most prominent summer league players: Darryn Peterson, Ace Bailey, and Cody Williams. It’s been a very up-and-down summer league for Utah for multiple players. Darryn Peterson […]

Jazz fans got a nice surprise today when they found out that Darryn Peterson would be suiting up to play again in Summer League tonight. It’s very likely it had something to do with comments made by Caleb Wilson after Peterson didn’t play against Chicago. If there’s one thing I’ve loved about Darryn Peterson it’s […]
Another game, another piece of evidence for my theory that the Utah Jazz Summer League team was replaced with clones somewhere on their way from Salt Lake to Las Vegas. Every year, I forget just how sloppy Summer League basketball is played – perhaps my expectations shouldn’t be so high. Nevertheless, the players are out […]

Writing this preview, I am in quite the dilemma. I intend to drum up anticipation for the Jazz to play the Spurs this Wednesday at 7:30 PM MDT. However, I do not intend to mislead the reader by making it seem that this game matters more than it does. I’m rooting for each of these […]
Walker Kessler is no longer a member of the Utah Jazz. After months of rumors, the soon-to-be fifth-year center will be suiting up for the Los Angeles Lakers. While the Jazz could’ve matched the Lakers’ offer, they ultimately chose financial flexibility over Kessler. The final Walker Kessler trade is certainly leading to mixed reactions about what […]
