Darryn Peterson is about to shock the NBA
It’s clear that a lot of the NBA is starting to figure out that the Utah Jazz might be on the verge of a special season. But they’re not getting just how good it might be. But they’re missing the biggest point of all of this. Utah has a team that would have been a […]
The incentives in Keyonte George’s contract are great
Keyonte George’s contract is a real bargain at $157.5M over four years, but the incentives make it even more impressive. Shreyas Laddha had great coverage of the contract, and you can read more about it here. Before we get to the incentives, I loved some of the reasoning behind the contract and the Jazz’s bet […]
Best Quotes from the Keyonte George Press Conference
The Utah Jazz held a press conference for Keyonte George, who signed a new $157.5M contract. The press conference included Will Hardy, Ryan Smith, Danny Ainge, Austin Ainge, and Justin Zanik. It also was important to note that all of George’s teammates were there to support him. Here is the full press conference if you […]
Utah Jazz re-sign Keyonte George to contract extension
According to Shams Charania, the Utah Jazz signed Keyonte George to a five-year contract extension worth $157.5M. The deal has no player or team options. It’s a fantastic deal for both Keyonte George and the Utah Jazz. George worked hard and took his game to another level last season, and he gets a big reward. […]
Drafting the Utah Jazz starting 5
Before I get started, I wanted to explain this idea. If you had to draft players from the Jazz starting five, what order would you draft them in? Not as if they were all rookies, but as the players they are today. I’m also assuming the Jazz will start Keyonte George, Darryn Peterson, Ace Bailey, […]
I Do Not Want Myles Turner On The Utah Jazz
Last week, the Utah Jazz fandom found a new, shiny object of desire. It wouldn’t be the summertime without this tradition; I’ll remember fondly the days when I would contemplate longingly the backcourt fit of Donovan Mitchell and Jrue Holiday, or how Jerami Grant’s length could potentially shore up our perimeter defense. However, the new […]
What Utah’s defense with Jaren Jackson Jr. at center might look like
Probably the biggest question for the Utah Jazz this season is at center. After the Walker Kessler trade, Utah went from having a clear center rotation to facing major lineup questions. The problem has really come down to two options. Whether the Jazz want Jaren Jackson Jr. to start at center or to have recently […]
A new reality for Jazz fans is coming
If you’re wondering why this season feels different, it’s because it is. Jazz fans are entering territory they haven’t been in ever before. What territory am I talking about? I’m talking about the potential we have with Darryn Peterson. I’ve been spending the last few months since the draft and summer league trying to grasp […]
Keyonte George: Sun among the stars or a radiant supernova?
Do you ever stretch out on the Earth, gaze at the pinpricked majesty of the Lite-Brite night sky, and take a moment to consider your place in the universe? Ponder the scope of existence. Observe the celestial bodies that pierce the outer reaches of the void and flicker a message of awareness in our direction. […]
Five biggest storylines for the upcoming Jazz season
It’s one of the most anticipated seasons in Jazz history since they went for a repeat run to the Finals against Michael Jordan. Utah has been preparing for this new chapter for literal years, and they have the personnel to become something really special. Let’s take a look at five of the most interesting storylines […]
Survey Results: How Jazz fans feel about the Cody Williams trade
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 […]
Proof that Keyonte George will evolve into an all-star next season
Keyonte George was easily one of the most underrated players in the NBA last season. Surrounded by a cast of teammates that was pared down week after week, George continued to put up fantastic numbers as the most consistent playmaker for the season. Never forget the list of players like Kennedy Chandler, Walter Clayton, Andersson […]
Utah Jazz Reacts: Post-Cody Williams Trade Reaction
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 […]

Utah Jazz Top 10 Trade Value Rankings – 2026/27
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 Five Stages of Cody Williams left Utah scarred
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 […]
Jazz Sign Matthew Murrell to Contract
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, […]
BREAKING: Jazz Trade Williams, Konchar to Minnesota
Late Friday night, Shams Charania reported that the Jazz and Wolves had completed a trade: One of the most persistent questions in Jazzland over the past two years or so looms large: Is Cody Williams a bust? If you are Justin Zanik and/or Austin Ainge, it appears the answer is yes. After being drafted in […]
Utah Jazz Reacts: Jazz fans grade the offseason
Jazz fans have had one of the most eventful offseasons I can remember. Arguably the greatest prospect in team history was drafted while a massive trade for their starting center surprised everyone. So how do Jazz fans feel about it? Well, that was the point of this week’s Jazz Reacts survey. So there you have […]
The state of Utah Jazz media in 2026
The Utah Jazz are poised to make their franchise’s first playoff run since 2022. Unfortunately for fans of the purple and baby blue — and for three years, neon yellow — there will be four fewer beat reporters covering the team than there were just one year ago. On Thursday, the Deseret News’ Sarah Todd […]
Utah Jazz Reacts: How would you grade the Jazz offseason?
The Utah Jazz have had one of the most eventful offseasons I can remember. It’s been filled with ups and downs, rumors, victories in the lottery, and losing players in free agency. The quickest of recaps is that the Jazz won the lottery after another year of tanking, or to be more specific, a full […]
Jaren Jackson Jr. is going to have a monster season
Before I start, I wanted to give some shoutouts to some great resource material that has helped me understand some things better about Jaren Jackson Jr. First, if you haven’t read Parker Fleming’s Substack, he does great work on the Grizzlies, and you can find incredible work from him on Jaren Jackson Jr. This article […]
The Utah Jazz ‘Ball Knowledge’ Epidemic
In basketball, ‘ball knowledge’ refers to an internet trend where fans remember obscure, random role players from the past. One mentions Lucas Nogueira. Another name-drops Chris Copeland. Everyone in the room death stares at the guy who deems Monte Ellis as ‘elite ball knowledge’. But what constitutes as Utah Jazz ball knowledge? The Kyle Korvers […]
The Power of Friendship will propel the Utah Jazz
At the risk of dinging my cool guy/super athlete online persona, I’ve been playing a lot of Xenoblade Chronicles 2 on my Switch 2 lately. When working as a freelance writer, one is inclined to collect as many contracts as possible, and in my case, one of those contracts is as a video game reviewer. […]
Discussion: What Are The Best “Micro-Skills” In Franchise History?
Joe Ingles is returning to the NBL, and, like any of us would, his home nation has questions regarding his 12 year NBA career. Ingles recently sat down with Pete Hooley (former NBL Champion) for an interview/test of his memory on his time playing basketball in the United States – naturally, this conversation centered around […]
