Utah Jazz make the Toronto Raptors extinct! Utah Jazz post game show

Now 500 they’ve won four in a row they’re winning a lot of games tonight they beat the Toronto Raptors let’s talk about it it’s the Hoopz nerd Show all right guys let’s get into this but before we do let’s just give a shout out to prize pick the sponsor of the show prize picks where you can do pick the overs and unders if you go to prize picks.com right now they will match up

To $100 if you use promo code Hoops nerd you have to use promo code Hoops nerd though go use that you will have fun it’s it’s a blast I will tell you what it’s a little hard with the Jazz because they have so many lineups their coaches

So good and they blow teams out that they have to rest guys so maybe it’s you want to pick the under on a lot of different things things but anyways go to prix.com use promo code Hoops nerd you won’t regret it all right guys let’s bring this down

And let’s talk about the Jazz um let’s talk about the Jazz I don’t know how many times I’ve done this show and I struggle to find that button every time all right let’s see so the Toronto Raptors um are coming off of a trade although early January they’re kind of

Settle it in settling in they’ve played like six seven games whatever it is with uh RJ Barrett Emanuel quickley Emanuel quickley was three for three from three that’s hard to say 15 times fast or whatever but anyways he looks pretty solid for them he only plays 24 minutes

Though I would think they’d probably want to play him more I’m not quite sure why all the spread minutes obviously this right here is garbage time I mean Grady Dick came in at the end of the game and I mean the Jazz just absolutely destroyed the the Raptors 145 to 113 it

Wasn’t even close I have to say before we talk about the Jazz it’s got to be rough for Raptors fans to see Grady Dick and keante George and what they could have had in keante George holy smokes I was so glad when Grady dick went when he

Did look at this stat line 0 for three from the field 0 for two he did grab I guess he did get two assists good for him but man oh man am I had am I glad the Utah Jazz have keante George instead of Grady dick holy cow that was

A pick I did not want to make all right let’s talk about this Jazz team who is just absolutely steamrolling people in fact I just want to do it right now and I am never 100% sure I know this the nice thing about the NBA.com site is

That they update the sites in pretty good regular time whatever it is anyways right now this is the overall record so it takes into account when the Jazz were bad the Jazz have improved to number 22 defense and look at this the Jazz are now the number 20 offense this

Is up from 26 so they have passed the wizards look at the Lakers offensive rating for the season the Jazz by the way have now passed the Lakers in the standings and if the season ended today the Utah Jazz would be in the play in tournament would convey their pick to

OKC we did it hang a banner we conveyed the pick Utah Jazz 2023 24 season conveyed the pick to Oklahoma City put a banner up I don’t care but anyways Utah is now 12 in the lottery they would have to win the lottery basically not to

Convey their pick but the best thing the Jazz can do is just get into out of the lottery so there is just no question that they will not convey that pick and you know what it’s really fun if they get out of the lottery you’re going to

The playoffs so that would be nice too that’s something I would like to see so so anyways this is what I wanted to talk about really fast the Jazz season rankings have have have gotten better now in this recent play since December 13th how are the Jazz doing well I’m

Glad you asked because we’re going to answer the question they are look at the defensive rating in this period the Jazz are now number 11 and offensive rating number 11 so they’re just right about there in top 10 in both they got to get just a little

Better in both and they will crack that top 10 but look at who’s in front of them in this in this period the Clippers who are playing out of their minds Oklahoma City who’s amazing Boston number one team in the East Milwaukee the Pelicans are playing actually surprisingly well actually it’s

Interesting Golden State Warriors are six in offense um but they are 29th defense holy cow uh Indiana Pacers offensively great look at their defensive rating uh oh got a little better 22 for them so that’s why they’re playing pretty well and then finally Denver and then look at that Toronto been pretty good

Since the Emanuel quickly and RJ Barrett so and I actually was a little tiny bit nervous on this one I honestly okay I know we support prize picks but I went to DraftKings I wanted to just slam the over on this one this was the most

Easiest money ever I wish I was a rich man and I lived in Las Vegas because I would have put all my life savings no I wouldn’t have done that but I would have put at least like 20 bucks on the jazz tonight it would have been easy money

Easy money they even lowered the line to one and a half come on let us do a little a little thing here and there in Utah with DraftKings come on man it’s kind of fun anyways impressive stuff from the Jazz now impressive stuff by the way DraftKings you want to support the

Channel I’m right here I’m right here uh anyways let’s just talk about this Utah Jazz team they’re amazing I wanted to give a shout out to Simone fonio he’s always at the top of the list for whatever reason uh five for n from the field but look he hit his goal three for

Five from three remember what’s the goal for Simone fono every game make two threes it’s not take two threes it’s make them and tonight he went three for five so that was nice to see he has been slumping lately so it was nice to see him shoot the ball well 13 points and

Then you know what Simone is a legitimately good Defender he plays just great defense he’s physical he moves his feet well he’s big he’s a great defender and so Simone does a great job tonight impressive from him uh you know we talk a lot about Colin ston there’s all sorts

Of stories about there of John Collins and should Walker Kessler be starting and blah blah blah blah blah and lry Mark Simone fono has been starting during this whole period as well and part of the reason they’re doing so well is the defense and Simone is a big part

Of that so a lot of credit to him Lowry marinan was amazing oh thank heaven 7 for 11 from the field he has 22 points nine rebounds two assists he got me my over I bet the over on L’s uh rebounds tonight on price picks and he did well

For me uh nine rebounds lry Markin is Elite rebounder he did not even rebound all that well nor did he even play in the 30 minute range and he still grabs nine rebounds just an elite player is low marinan and in fact he’s probably working his way into the All-Star game

Again he is so good and this Jazz team is so good is so good um John Collins had some lapses in this game he did only played 14 minutes you know that’s one thing is that will hardy is playing who is playing well and he keeps them on the floor and if you’re

Not playing well he pulls you off and it is refreshing and it’s nice and so when John Collins is playing well he plays more minutes and when he’s not he sits 4 Points s rebounds one assist although he did go two for three from the field so

You know he just had some uh he had four personal fouls he had a couple bad plays and he just got sat so it is what it is but he spreads the floor and whatever is going on it’s working so the Jazz are likely going to stick with this rotation

For the most part and then evolve as the game goes along if someone’s playing well they’ll play more and if not then they sit but this is likely the starting lineup until they make a trade or an injury or something something happens so pretty fight pretty fun to see and I you

Know what honestly it’s a fun team to watch you know uh Colin seon we talk about this every game now but his Evolution as a player has been incredible and I’m sure the Jazz are just much less likely to trade him it’s to the point now where I mean the

Beginning of the year I was just like does anyone want Colin seon at all to the point now where it’s like you’re going to have to give two like Premier first round picks if you want Colin zon and he may not even be for sale depending on what the Jazz want to do

Because I can see Colin ston the way he’s playing right now as an elite Sixth Man on a championship team honestly when he’s playing like this look at these numbers Five for 10 from the field three for three from three five assists two steals he’s playing good defense he

Plays his heart out no matter what’s going on and that’s the thing when the Jazz were bad earlier this year one of the things I really appreciated about Colin is he never stops playing hard he never stops having that competitive attitude it’s incredible Colin ston is amazing and you know I have completely

Changed my viewpoint on him and it’s because of his play you know to like we said when this season started the way he was playing when the Jazz were not good it was brutal it was not fun to watch and I personally hated it and now I

Enjoy col seon on the floor it’s like having an elite player on the on the basketball court he is awesome so just super impressive from him and also Chris Dunn look at this three for four from the field five assists five rebounds just absolutely stuffing the shat the stat sheet one

Steel two blocks uh let’s see and six points all that Chris dun is worrying worried about is winning he makes winning plays that’s all he cares about and he goes out and he does it and you know you combine this with highle defense he is just impacting plays he

Had that one transition play where there was a turnover from the Jazz they’re going down the court he like knocks the ball from one of the guys at half court sticks with the play and then blocks the ball strips It Out of Bounds at the basket he is just an absolute monster

Defensively and it’s fun to watch and having him start has been part like one of the issues for this Jazz team when the season was going on and the Jazz weren’t playing very well at least earlier in the season was the defensive rating and you know I love keontay

George and I think eventually I would like to see Keon start but one thing you can’t argue is that the Jazz defensive rating is now sitting at number 11 for this stretch and part of that is Chris Dunn starting at point guard it’s just helping in that starting unit so nice to

See now do I think the Jazz are going to win the championship this year well I mean maybe they’ll screw up the rebuild and just win the title that would be fun but I don’t think that’s going to happen and uh according to those trade rumors

I’ll do a Utah Jaz well tomorrow’s a game again the Jazz are playing the Lakers tomorrow so I don’t know if I’ll have time but there are the there was the two trade rumors from hoop the the hoop Collective yesterday and today more or less the same thing but today’s hoop

Collective worth it for jazz fans to go listen to by the way after this show if you want some jazz stuff to go listen to go listen to The Hoop Collective podcast you’re welcome Brian windhorse free advertising but anyway at about the 30 minute Mark they talk about the Jazz and

What was interesting uh from what they said is that the Jazz are not changed their viewpoint on the overall view of the season and their big picture they said they’re really happy with what the Jazz are doing they’re proud of the team and the players and and happy to see

What they’re doing but it hasn’t changed the big picture so we will likely still see trades this trade deadline which is a good idea I mean what’s crazy is the Jazz could make a couple moves and still be really good like Taylor Hendricks is going to come on this team and he is

Ready to go I mean he comes into this game and look what he does knocks down two threes grabs a rebound grabs an makes an assist makes a steal I mean are you kidding they’re going to bring Taylor Hendricks on and it’s only going to get better defensively you know and

They’re likely going to try and trade Jo um John Collins that’s going to be harder to do because he has a pretty big contract and it’s for a few years they don’t have to though but it sounds like that’s the number one thing that’s not from the hoop Collective that’s just

From other reports but anyways hoop Collective said that and then they said and we’ll just talk about about it now because we might as well they mentioned that no one on the jazz is Untouchable that includes Larry marinin now they don’t think that Larry marinan is going

To get traded or at least it’s very unlikely unless someone brings just such a crazy offer that they would be stupid not to take it right that’s kind of what it will take to trade Lowry marketing um what that entails well we’ve heard that it’s five good picks and or young

Players so basically like a Rudy gobear package if someone comes with a Rudy goar package the Jazz are likely going to listen to it but you know marinin has made the comments and I do think there was a little bit of like because we had

A a lot of there was a lot of noise to start this year especially from the local beat writers um and I don’t know if they’re conveying things that the Jazz want them to say if they’re kind of in on it or if it’s just things they’ve

Heard or what um whatever it is they’re hearing in it from somebody that lry marinin wants to win and it’s important for him to win games you know and I’m sure the Jazz know that and I’m sure they’ve talked to Markin and know that but hearing it in the

Media some media sometimes hits a little different and there’s a part of me that wonders if some of these little rumors probably were a little bit of Danny an saying all right you aren’t interested in being on the Jazz long term what do you think Donovan Mitchell feels like being in Cleveland in

January what do you think of that would you like that do you think that Lake Effect is fun I can tell you as someone who’s been in lived in Ohio and on the east coast and that humidity that Lake Effect is not very fun all right you know what’s pretty

Nice in the winter Utah we have these snow squalls or whatever they are Squall squalling and it’s not even that bad Utah’s not nice and guess what they have a great front office great head coach winning team great Arena great fans the state loves basketball you are

The show you get paid here you’re going to get a Max there’s worse things than playing in Utah getting some PTO next season when the Jazz want Cooper flag so anyways I don’t think L marinin is going to get traded I do think and from reports that people have made and these

Are from legit guys there’s going to be some teams that try they are going to try so we’ll see what happens February 8th could be a crazy day it could be uh a medium crazy day or it could be kind of boring we’ll see Jordan the goat best

Roll member for 27 months my man Allstar Jordan the goat how does Toronto shoot 50% from three and we still win by over 30 so much fun to watch well let’s just curious let’s see the Jazz also shot really well they shot 48% % from three

55% so that helped and then I bet you it’s the rebounding battle look at this 68 rebounds for the Jazz compared to 36 for the Toronto Raptors that my friend is probably part of it uh let’s see offensive rebounds eight for the Raptors 14 for the Jazz

42 uh rebounds for the Jazz just 23 look at that rebounding probably rebounding was a big part of it Lowry John Collins Walker Kessler and just the Jazz in general are a good rebounding team Justin Solace 499 my friend thank you so much that is so

Generous thank you so much Justin I have gone full-blown delusional jazz fan we are a six seed minimum that was my prediction when the season started and there were people and it was I’m not going to lie it was weird on Twitter you know more weird than normal on that app

But there were people people like taking laps like they were you know Jazz fans and people who cover the jazz or whatever just like taking Victory laps because they said the Jazz would be bad well first off how fun is that and two it wasn’t even like that great of a

Prediction this Jazz team is good I was surprised they came out and they had some stinker losses like the Jazz had some bad losses in that bad stretch they did they had some games they should have won they also won a few that were a little bit surprising like they got that

Clippers win and stuff like that the Jazz now are I didn’t think the Jazz would be this good but I did predict on SLC dunk that they would be 44 wins and and I thought good enough to make the playoffs or the very least the playin um

I think there’s no reason why the jetz can’t make the six seed even with traits like the player that keeps getting mentioned multiple times in these trade talks is Kelly o linck why because he’s an expiring contract and the Jazz do not want to lose him for nothing because

Likely someone out there is going to get him plus Kelly Ox shooting 43% from three right now he is playing incredible and so the Jazz can probably get something for him uh but Kelly oin expiring contracts and some of the Vets so I think you know obviously John

Collins is on the market if someone really wants Jordan Clarkson they can get him but it’s going to take the one thing that you know for sure with this Utah Jazz team is that Danny a sets a price or a value whatever you want to call it this player is worth this amount

And he sticks to it and if you want to pay that then you can get them if you don’t then you won’t get them the Jazz are not going to make a trade just because they are going to make a trade if they feel like it fits the team’s big

Picture and that’s what Brian windhorse Tim mcmah Tim bontemps and them were saying is that the Jazz have a big picture plan now why would they trade these guys why would you know I like Justin I agree I this is so much more fun than losing especially the fact that

They’re conveying the pick the Jazz are just having a fun season I hope everyone else is having fun I’m having a blast so why would they make a trade well I think it does matter to get some minutes for Taylor Hendricks and I do think tonight

Was awesome in that we saw again what Keon George can do when he gets the ball one of the things about this second unit that I don’t really love I mean it’s fine it’s working because Jordan Clarkson and Kelly oin are playing great but it’s the Jordan Clarkson and Kelly

Oin show and so if you’re trying to develop Keon George for the future and make him kind of that offensive weapon that he definitely looks like he will be and in a lot of times already is but you can’t really quite do that if Jordan Clarkson and Kelly oin are taking on all

The playmaking responsibilities and when you’re watching you can see it they Keon is a very unselfish player and he just kind of defers to them a lot but look at this six assists for Keon in 24 minutes he is just and this is him playing deferring to those guys I know

The three wasn’t really falling tonight which stinks but uh three for 10 he made some nice buckets inside knocks down all his free throws but it’s the assists the shooting will come around um I think we talked about this before but someone made a great point he’s already played a

Full College season something he didn’t even do at Baylor if you remember because he played half the year he also lost all that weight to get into the shape he’s in had one ankle injury that I’m sure he’s a two ankle two foot injuries one ankle one foot so he’s been

Kind of going through it it’s hard to be an elite shooter when you’re exhausted 82 game NBA season and you’re the guy bringing the ball up every single possession I mean it’s got to be brutal but I think there’s signs especially tonight these six assists were really

Nice that he’s starting to get his legs under him you know and once he gets those NBA legs which is hard to come by I mean that first season in an NBA especially if you’re playing Big Time minutes and Keon is playing Big Time important minutes it’s got to be brutal

I mean it’s got to be so hard you’re just not used to what you’re doing in the NBA where College I you know I don’t know how many games they play per week I don’t follow college that closely but you’re playing like a what 35 Game season or whatever it is you’re not

Playing two three sometime you know at least two to three games a week sometimes four and and you’re traveling overnight I mean these guys theyd fly into a city they will go to bed at like 4 in the morning and when they finally get you know they fly into their hotel

They find so like an average NBA night flying into one of these cities especially on a backend back to back just brutal you will land at the airport 2 3 in the morning CU you’re leaving after a game you will then have to drive to your hotel wherever it is go to sleep

It’s not like you can just fall asleep I mean unlike you I me maybe you guys have an easier time than me but it’s not always easy just like that you’re going to sleep at what 4:00 a.m. you have to get up and be at shoot around or

Practice at 9 or 10 they schedule M naps for these guys it’s actually part of their day that post shoot around and things they’re like required to go take a nap and they have those in the Jazz facility I believe they have it in Zion Bank basketball center and stuff like

That but uh it’s just a it’s brutal to get used to that life and that schedule it’s hard and so it’s going to take some time but I think he’ll get his sea legs here soon he will get grounded and he’s also just got to improve it’s okay for a

Rookie to have a rookie year and just learn what he needs to improve at he’ll have a good off season I don’t know even think he’s needs to do summer league we’ll see but uh it’s nice to see but anyways um Walker Kessler we mentioned it before Walker Kessler is coming off

The bench and he’s been just dominant and he’s only playing I mean tonight he played 14 minutes last game 20 minutes tonight which is amazing because then guess what he gets to play probably big minutes tomorrow against the Lakers who are a big team they will need Walker

Kessler because he’s going to have to guard Anthony Davis and so it’s nice that he only had to play 20 minutes tonight in those 20 minutes 12 points uh six rebounds um three blocked shots just awesome stuff Walker Kessler is looking like the Walker Kessler last year that

Made third in Rookie of the Year voting it’s just really nice to see uh let’s see Jordan Clarkson had another awesome shooting night and we talked about Keon and wanting to develop him but for now Jordan Clarkson’s playing well and if the goal is Win games to convey the pick

This is working you know so as frustrated as I might be just because I want to see Keon develop and stuff he’s still getting 24 minutes it’s fine uh Jordan Clarkson is playing really well 21 points five assists just on honestly solid solid play from Jordan Clarkson

That sixthman rle suits him well and this Jazz team they go 10 Deep and all the players are playing 20 somewhere between 20 and 30 minutes look at tonight 21 21 24 uh Chris dun only played 17 John Collins plays 14 they’re all averaging somewhere in there so when

You’re on the floor you’re playing hard so this Jazz team you’re fresh you play hard and then you get good rest so that when you’re in you’re playing it like 100% you know these these I just don’t know how many times we’ve even seen a player on the Jazz play like 40 minutes

Which is not all that uncommon like LCA donic will play 42 minutes and it’s not uncommon you know so anyways nice to see and this Jazz team is just deep and it’s fun oai we talked about keante George uh so I don’t think we have to

Dive into it anymore but I just I want to say these assists they’re so nice he runs that pick and roll with Walker tesler and it looks so dominant Jordan the go oai had a nice game finally yes he did so oai plays 21 minutes he had a

Really nice first half he had five rebounds you know there are nights where he it’s just it’s frustrating that the three ball is just not falling consistently and so I don’t know I don’t think the Jazz if there’s a team that wants to send the Jazz another

Athletic I don’t know I don’t want to trade oay abaji cuz I would much rather bet on the hyper athletic Wing like oai who showed that he shot the ball well in college that he eventually gets to that level here you know the Jazz are in no

Rush to have oai abaji they don’t have they’re not like the Phoenix Suns who have traded everything away and are relying on Josh aogi to hit threes it’s not that case for the Jazz it’s okay for oai to figure it out it’s a right now

It’s a luxury so you know oai plays 21 minutes tonight he’s been playing such good defense his defense against Jamaal Murray again last game against Denver was phenomenal and he’s doing the same thing so one thing to just always appreciate appreciate about oai is when he plays good defense it’s almost more

Important in a lot of ways because his athleticism shows up in the transition and things like that he spreads the floor and so anyways I’m not too worried about it it would be nice though if he just started consistently he would get more minutes honestly he would get more

Minutes if the three was falling more consistently but he is doing a lot of these things look at that two block shots should have been three uh one assist that was a nice assist by the way and then the five rebounds so he’s playing really well in terms of Defense

It would just be nice if he started shooting the ball well because it will keep him on the floor uh Kelly oen look at this a double double 11 points sorry 11 points points 10 rebounds five assists I mean if he just he’s trying to get that triple double I almost

Wonder but he is just such an offensive weapon for this Jazz team for this second unit the ball just goes through him and he plays just so well in that offensive role and he’s rebounding the ball pretty well as long as he’s rebounding it well he’s not that much of

A of a liability defensively if he’s rebounding it and if he’s playing hard defensively then that’s all you can ask but the things he can do at 7 foot he is just a weapon and it’s not surprising that his percentages are so good because he has really good touch around the

Basket so if anything the biggest complaint with o Lin is that he should shoot the ball more I mean 43% from three and he only takes two you know so and obviously makes one it would just be nice if he shot it a little more because

He’s so good at it but that’s just not his game in a lot of ways um finally we got to see Taylor Hendrick and Bryce sensah got his first NBA bucket two for four for sensah two for two for Taylor Hendricks perfect from the field really

Great to see I mean these guys if you want to know why the jzs might make a trade also is so these guys can get on the floor if Kelly oen is on the floor John Collins all these guys if they’re on the floor you can’t you’re not it’s less likely that the

Coach is going to want to play Hendricks and sensah if those guys get moved then maybe we can start seeing them play a little bit in all in all honesty sensah brings the offense that oai is struggling with you know there’s a world where SBA starts pushing oai for minutes

That’s just the nature of the NBA I mean if if you are not developing or improving or growing there’s a draft every year and every year you’re rep replenishing Talent if you’re a good team you’re you’re making your draft picks you’re not trading too many draft

Picks and that’s why the Jazz are going to be very good for a very long time is because the draft is the thing you are constantly replenishing your talent and eventually you get a guy that hits that you didn’t really expect and I’m not saying that’s who Bry sensah is but if

He starts playing well he might start pushing for minutes so that’s going to be an interesting little battle to watch because if Sensa comes in and he can start knocking down shots he’s been playing really well for the Stars uh if he can show he can understand the

Defense and all these different things that’ll be a lot of fun so anyways who knows and then ton Horton Tucker hasn’t been playing and I don’t think we’re going to see ton Hort tuck Horton Tucker play for the Jazz maybe ever again he is on an expiring deal I doubt the Jazz

Resign him they’ve got too much young talent coming in they are not going to probably worry about it and even if the Jazz can’t trade Tayon Orton Tucker it’s not a problem because he’s an expiring contract so worst case scenario he’s just on the Jazz and his contract just

Falls off and the Jazz have open cap space to renegotiate neate with L marinin which I believe they can do this is not gospel but the Jazz can renegotiate some things with lry marinin which they’ll probably do and then give him a Max after this upcoming season the

Something along those lines is what they’re going to do because I think they want to just make Lowry happy and give him some PTO next year maybe we’ll see I still kind of feel like the Jazz are going to go for Cooper flag I mean I I just I actually think this trade

Deadline could be a little more interesting than people think and you know if the Jazz get to February 8th and let’s just look at it so the Jazz are 12th and Houston I mean they barely beat the Detroit Pistons tonight let’s see oh we got to refresh

This look at this so the Utah Jazz if the dang uh Houston Rockets the Jazz would have been tied for this spot let’s go to the Western Conference standings let’s see so let’s just bring this up do G it Alec Burks almost did the Jazz a solid

One last assist from Alec Burks it almost happened they barely beat Detroit tonight the the Rockets are scuffling I think the Jazz eventually just passed them uh but look at this they’re four- six in their last 10 10 Utah is 8-2 the Jazz are at 10 in the playin and so

There’s a chance I mean Phoenix is looking a little better Bradley Beals back they look pretty good they beat the I mean the Lakers aren’t very good right now they just demolished the Lakers on TNT Utah needs to beat the Lakers by the way how satisfying would that be if that

Jazz get to 21- 22 or 21 and 20 that would be amazing but man it’s tough to rise in these rankings at this point this it’s really you know playoff picture is fun but I think if the Jazz can just kind of get a solid lead on the Houston Rockets

Obviously the Lakers and even the Warriors and just create some space come February 8th then I think they can make some trades and not feel the pinch too much I think they really can and I you know I I don’t it’s going to be fascinating we’re going to cover

All of it it’s going to be a lot of fun to watch it’s going to be so interesting to see what happens at trade deadline and who’s moved who’s not and then after trade deadline do the Jazz keep winning it’s really fun to watch Jazz right now though they are really good really

Good Jordan the goat best roll 499 thank you so much our depth is wearing teams down not just winning but blowing teams out we’re an All-Star way from making a legitimate run we really are I mean that’s really the thing the Jazz need I who was I can’t remember who it was

Talking about it but there is like a Danny a model and what it is is you need two Star Wings that’s the model is it’s the Jordan model Jordan and Scotty uh it’s in in you know it’s Paul Pierce and Ray Allen it’s uh it’s Jason Tatum and and and Jaylen

Brown and the Jazz have one in lry marinan they need another one and that’s why I’m hoping it can be Cooper flag can it be Cooper flag and I think I think Larry marinin can play at an elite level for what another eight years why why not I mean he’s only what

27 what is Larry marinan in fact let’s look at it I’m frustrated I don’t have it memorized but uh 26 years old I mean he’s going to play till he’s 36 why can’t he be on the Jazz for 10 years and why can’t the Jazz get Cooper flag next year and then just

Roll you know especially if keante takes another step if Taylor Hendricks who looks like he has a chance to be really something special why not why not uh the big the quote that I really thought was interesting from marinan is he Saidi hope there’s no one

That makes the offer to the Jazz you know he’s hoping to stay with the Jazz so I think next season’s going to be interesting it’s about tonight but man what an interesting time and fun time to be a jazz fan they are good now and they

Are going to be good for a long time Treasure Trove of assets this year’s draft sucks so it’s the Jazz have planned things perfectly and next year’s draft is good and the Jazz have three picks next year so they are going to be replenishing their talent and likely

Making a move here and there depending on I honestly think what they’re going to do is they’re going to try to be kind of I mean no one’s giving up Cooper flag at number one I doubt it but maybe maybe he drops kind of like Luca donic did and

People get worried and whatever I mean ah he looks so good to me I honestly I wonder if the Jazz tried to trade up in the draft because that’s something Danny a always does he tried to do it last draft and it ended up being fine because Taylor Hendricks looks

Good but the Jazz are likely next draft going to try to package all three picks to move up they have and it’s something that Danny always wants to do and you know it’s tough to have three first round picks come play anyway like we’re seeing that now the Jazz have Taylor Hendrick s

And keante and only Keon’s playing it’s hard to find time to get them on the floor and so I think the Jazz are going to make some moves to clear the deck uh not completely because I think the Jazz do want to be good enough to convey the

Pick but then next year I think it’s going to be interesting to see what the Jazz do can they package their picks to move up into the draft and get that guy to play next to Lowry uh one thing the Jazz have done is they’ve done well in the draft and

That’s the way the Jazz are going to win towards a championship so sorry we went 35 minutes and a lot of draft talk uh for a season the Jazz don’t even have a pick now because they conveyed their pick baby wouldn’t it be so frustrating if they won the lottery in this

Draft and there’s no like clear number one guy uh the blind swordsman DS $2 thank you my friend thank you so much you think we extend Kelly I doubt it I mean maybe but I do think there’s a lot of teams I think they’re trading Kelly to

Be honest I think there’s a lot of teams out there like you look at the Lakers they have what the number look at this defensive ranking for the season um the Lakers like the Warriors for the year are 24th defensively where is the oh it’s the Lakers offense duh look

At their offense 24 they have LeBron freaking James and they’re the 24th offense in the NBA the Jazz are four spots better than Lakers offensively you think a 43% shooter that moves the ball wouldn’t help out the Lakers a lot in Kelly o lck now I don’t know if they’ve

Got anything to Jazz they do have that 2029 pick they can trade there’s a few picks they can trade I would love a post LeBron pick from the Lakers I’m telling you that that 2027 pick from the Lakers are you kidding me that’s going to be so sweet so

Sweet so there’s teams out there that could really use a player like Kelly oin just a vet who knows how to play 43% from three he is just a great player and so if you want Lowry you’re or not Lowry if you want Lowry you’re going to have

To pay out the nose but if you want kolin you’re going to have to pay out the toes there’s a saying uh but you are going to have to pay for kol linic if you want him I don’t know if they extend him I guess it would just depend on the

Price but I think the Jazz would probably be more interested in developing some of their young guys guys I mean the just the the fact is Kelly linck is 32 so you know he still got at least two three years in him left with the way he plays should age well you

Know I could see him playing till 36 even you know but uh maybe Beyond his game’s going to age well age well he shoots the ball he passes it um probably likely going to get a contract somewhere uh because he’s a good player so I don’t know sorry long story short

Sorry I don’t know probably not but you never know I think that’s everything guys so uh let’s just go look at the lottery uh Utah is now past the Lakers how sweet is that a half game up and they play the Lakers tomorrow let’s bring up the music they

Play the Lakers tomorrow and that’s actually a big game like it’s playoff uh playoff uh ramifications so really really fun time for the Jazz right now and they just got to keep winning so they can pass up this Houston Rockets team a win tomorrow has them just tied with the

Rockets So this is freaking cool and you know what the Suns have started turning things around six and four their last 10 we’ll see but I think the Jazz are likely going to be in the play this year it’s going to be really fun to watch all right let’s see

  1. Even tho the jazz have George .. dick is playing in a big market and is on a bigger stage than George plus the jazz have 0 rings in franchise history Lmao George isn’t winning y’all anything

  2. i do not get this worry that Olynyk is on expiring contract and we will lose him. he play best year of his career, he is appreciated, he fits great to this team and he is not young. more likely than not K.O. will resign if Jazz are willing to keep him. and i do not see why we would not. I do hope also that we will not go for PTO. losing on purpose is to me so un sport like, that i cannot stomach sucha concept, sorry guys. I'm born & bred in Europe. we do not do those things

  3. Love to see John Collins and JC traded to clear minutes. Our rookies looking fantastic! THT deep in the doghouse to not get garbage minutes two games in a row. If THT can see Sexton turn it around maybe he can too.

  4. George is playing half as well as you keep saying. The shot hasn't been good, keeps getting trapped, etc. He's probably going to be good but you are ignoring the actual reality, and then blaming others for not passing him the ball..

  5. I see its good for Keyonte that he does not need to carry all the pressure. He gets to learn and develope getting good minutes.

  6. Forget a rebuilt! Let's just do some routine maintenance. Let's build around what we already have. Trade KO to play Hendricks. Trade Clarkson ONLY if multiple first round picks are involved. This team can remind me of the 01 Sixers who everyone thought was going to rebuild but instead made a title run.

  7. Coach doing great job on the guards minutes. If Sexton was playing 30min he would shoot way too much and force a lot of those shots as he always does. Dunn being great defender. George our future.

  8. Lauri once told stay in Utah he never been appreciated in no other franchise other than here he already talking he wanna talk extension he wants job security like anyone else

  9. I still don't understand, suddenly know we play like contenders, why should we trade, maybe we should bring in a great player. Also, Lauri has developed really well, but is he a super max guy?? LOVE JAZZ!!!
