Our Team Is On The Floor
The Utah Jazz are entering next season with what is likely going to be a problem, a good problem. The core for the future is looking like the following six players: Keyonte George, Ace Bailey, Lauri Markkanen, Jaren Jackson Jr., Walker Kessler, and either AJ Dybantsa or Darryn Peterson. The issue the Jazz are going […]

According to Adam Finkelstein, the intel floating around Chicago during the combine was that AJ Dybantsa was hoping to stay in Utah. From Finkelstein: That comment by Dybantsa was also consistent with one of the most repeated pieces of intel floating around Chicago this week: that Dybantsa was reportedly hoping to stay in Utah. He’s […]
The NBA draft lottery has come and gone, and now it is time to think very critically about the potential options for the Jazz at the #2 selection. However, I am going to leave that job for someone smarter than myself – instead, I will view the awe-inspiring Mr. Darryn Peterson through the lens of […]
It’s been a big day for the top prospects in the NBA draft, and there were some surprising results for the prospects the Utah Jazz will be looking at in the Draft. Here are some of the most important highlights. AJ Dybantsa A lot of eyes were on Dybantsa as he came into the draft […]
After an incredible NBA lottery, the Utah Jazz are sitting pretty at the #2 spot in the NBA Draft. That means they will have a chance to choose from the top tier of the draft with their pick. The NBA Combine is now happening, and it officially kicks off draft season. The measurements become vital […]
It happened. The Utah Jazz moved up in the NBA Draft Lottery. After three years of soul-searching, serial-killer-esque bulletin-boarding, and mass panic flowing through the bloodstream of every resident in the greater Salt Lake City area (you remember), all of the tanking has been worth it. An empty viewing experience, hoping your team loses every […]
In what has a chance to be one of the most important nights in Jazz history, the Utah Jazz jumped in the NBA Lottery to the #2 spot for the upcoming NBA draft. Here are the final results, which show all the movement. Aside from it being a massive night for the Wizards, Jazz, Grizzlies, […]
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 […]

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 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 […]

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 […]
