Timberwolves The Timberwolves didn’t acquire Cody Williams merely because they needed to move some money around. General manager Matt Lloyd indicated Minnesota had genuine interest in Williams, the former No. 10 overall pick who arrived from the Jazz in the Josh Green trade. “There was a reason he was the 10th pick in the draft,” […]

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 […]
On June 18, 2021, the Los Angeles Clippers reached a place the franchise had never been before. Terance Mann had just scored 39 points against the Utah Jazz, and the Clippers were heading to their first Western Conference Finals. There was one problem: Kawhi Leonard was sitting in a luxury suite in street clothes after […]

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 […]
The Jazz have waived 24-year-old shooting guard Matthew Murrell, the team announced in a press release. This announcement comes just two days after the team signed him to what was presumed to be an Exhibit 10 deal, thereby allowing the team to retain his G League rights while giving him the opportunity to earn a […]

Here is a look at the Jazz’s projected starting lineup and rotation for 2026-27 after a major offseason that could push them into the postseason race.

The Utah Jazz are way better than you think, and they are ready to make some noise in the Western Conference.
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 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 […]
The Jazz announced Monday in a press release that they have signed free agent guard Matthew Murrell, who spent last season with their G League affiliate, the Salt Lake City Stars. Murrell almost certainly signed an Exhibit 10 deal ahead of training camp. If he’s waived before 2026/27 begins and spends at least 60 days […]
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, […]
On a warm day in Helsinki, Finland, a small group of friends works out together in a basketball arena. The group consists of Keyonte George, Jaren Jackson Jr., Ryan Smith, and Will Hardy.

After trading Josh Green to the Jazz, young wing Jaylen Clark has a path to regular minutes with the Timberwolves.
Trail Blazers Damian Lillard is apparently doing just fine. Specifically, the Trail Blazers posted a photo from one of Lillard’s offseason workouts showing that he made 1,100 of 1,168 3-pointers. That’s 94.2 percent. Yes, we’re talking about practice. But 1,100 makes is still 1,100 makes. Marlow Ferguson Jr. of NBA On SI pointed to the workout […]

Back at it Dub Nation, taking a virtual tour around the NBA’s offseason division by division to see what’s happening. The Golden State Warriors are trying to recapture their championship magic against a bunch of teams that are more than happy to put the dynasty to sleep for good. We’re still cruising through the Northwest […]
Rockets Kevin Durant wanted Houston. Could he eventually want out of Houston? ESPN recently asked a panel of NBA experts which star might be the next to request a trade, and Durant received three points in the voting, behind Anthony Davis (10) and Kyrie Irving (four). Zion Williamson also received three, while James Harden and […]

Miami could be the next stop for veteran forward John Konchar, who was waived tonight by Minnesota, according to Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints (Twitter link). Siegel states that the Heat expressed interest in trading for Konchar before Memphis shipped him to Utah in February as part of the Jaren Jackson Jr. deal. Miami still has […]
As expected, the Timberwolves have waived John Konchar, the team announced Saturday night in a press release. The 30-year-old forward was acquired from Utah earlier in the day in a trade designed to clear enough cap space for the signing of Jonathan Kuminga. Josh Green‘s expiring $14.68MM contract was sent to the Jazz in exchange […]
Darryn Peterson made plenty of headlines during the NBA pre-draft process. Apparently, he lost a car along the way, too. Peterson, the No. 2 overall pick of the Jazz, revealed during an interview with ESPN’s Chiney Ogwumike that his vehicle was stolen from the driveway of an Airbnb where he was staying before the draft. […]

Two Portland Trail Blazers’ division rivals struck a minor deal last night with one side saving money and the other gaining experience. The Minnesota Timberwolves traded Josh Green, who they acquired in the LaMelo Ball deal, and cash to the Utah Jazz for young wing Cody Williams and veteran guard John Konchar, per ESPN’s Shams […]
The Jazz didn’t trade for Josh Green because they needed another scorer. They needed someone to help stop the other guys from scoring. That’s the simplest explanation for Utah’s decision to acquire Green from Minnesota in exchange for Cody Williams and John Konchar. As cap analyst Yossi Gozlan of The First Apron noted, perimeter defense […]
