  1. I feel bad for lief 😂😂 I know it’s David’s show but he was doing a great job and don’t get me wrong I love David but he just swoops in and say ok it’s my turn

  2. THT is so far away right now. “If he can just improve his finishing at the rim and his shooting” … also his defense… also his passing…

    He’s young so it could still happen, but he’s got a lot of stuff he needs to get a lot better at if he wants to be a starter in the NBA.

    Shooting 28% 3PT while also not being a good rim finisher or a good defender or particularly good at setting up teammates… that’s not a good player.

  3. Personally I couldnt care less if THT plays in Utah. I think he is tradeable. Wish Jazz would pursue Bruce Brown

  4. Thanks for going over the new CBA salary cap stuff too. Interesting stuff! I’m liking this John Collins trade even more now.

  5. ThT was good….. but Collins is a stupid bad move. I thought Danny ainge was smart. He fell for the media hype

  6. Thank you so much Mr. Locke and every single Locked on host for the amazing work ❤ Love tuning in to different teams to learn more about the NBA

  7. Leif is doing a great job but it's like Christmas in June when I woke up and saw we had a David episode! Enjoy the time off! You deserve it. No one works harder!

  8. We didn't get the scrub for free….. we paid an old man that is better at his age than the younger guy we got us a second rounder. Id say we got screwed. Except for the fact we bent over for the hwaks to screw us

  9. To solve the tweener issue, maybe the Utah Jazz stagger Kessler/Collins minutes like they did with Kessler/Vanderbilt. Also maybe play Hendricks with Collins for the defense with Kessler off the floor.

    Maybe something like:
    ✅Start Kessler, Olynyk, Lauri. We know that works.
    ✅Bring Collins & Hendricks in when Kessler checks out.

  10. Good Morning Jazz Nation. I absolutely love the moves so far this off season. Good news hearing about THT. Love the draft picks. Love the Collins trade. He is a prove it guy. Hopefully he uses that mindset.

  11. TV deal is the biggest news! If the team gets better but I can’t watch and follow them then it doesn't matter.

  12. All are big news. Difficult to pick but for me it has to be the TV deal. Didn't seem like it could be done in this day and Ryan made it happen. Means a lot! And I already have an antenna!

  13. One thing that stands out to me is how perfectly our NEW players, the 3 picks and Collins, play into Coach Hardy's strengths of analysis and personal empathy. I might be stupidly optimistic, but he seems like the perfect coach to maximize the contributions of those guys.

    Actually, I AM stupidly optimistic, every year, but this year…THIS YEAR…no reason to tank or sacrifice losses for development. We have a two-year window with a deep, talented roster before we then run into '25 and '26 with 3 firsts each year to trade or refresh with younger players. So yeah, stupidly optimistic but I can't see any way this DOESN'T work out.

    From the depressing, choking, dysfunctional team we saw in the '22 playoffs, the worst I've ever felt about a Jazz team, to NOW…everything has moved in the right direction, and I'm BACK as a Jazz fanatic. GO JAZZ!
