Utah Jazz vs Orlando Magic Recap: Are the Utah Jazz good?
The Utah Jazz beat the Orlando Magic and showed that when they are at full strength and playing well, they’re a competitive team. If they can figure things out with their young core and add a superstar in the draft, the future looks to be nice for Utah.

Stupid win playing these vets is so stupid hate watching a bunch of guys that are going to be traded or not on this team
It could be that lauri knows we are tanking and doesnt want to be traded so hes playing himself out of premium asset category
I'm sure the Jazz got that cash to buy out PJ if they aren't going to turn around and trade him in the next couple days.
Are you upset about Eubanks
Locke has stated that statistically most rebuilding teams get higher, faster when they have a veteran all star caliber player; Lauri is that for us. If he’s happy doing the ride, why trade him?
Hoops Nerd, I think that everyone may be missing a key point with all of the talk and push to trade Collins and Sexton, especially for basically nothing in return. Yes, we need an elite player or two to be able to compete at the highest level. (I pray every day that we'll be able to capture the Flag.) But you must also have depth of elite secondary/role players. The Jazz had two Hall of famers in Stockton and Malone. Yet, they suffered through eliminations in the early rounds of the playoffs for a decade until they were able to trade for Jeff Hornachek in 94. Then, add more depth with Shandon Anderson, Bryon Russell, Howard Eisley, Greg Foster, Antoine Carr, Chris Morris, and Ostertag. Can you imagine what could have been if they'd been surrounded with some good vets from the beginning in 84 and 85? Could they have gotten lucky and won a chip before the Bulls dynasty of the 90's? (They gave the Showtime Lakers fits and took them to 7 in 88 playoffs.. what if they had a couple of better players than Jim Les, or Mel Turpin, or Jim Farmer or Eric Leckner, or Mark Ivaroni coming off of the bench?) Why trade a good player in hand now, for a late pick years from now, and hope that that player develops in 2 to 3 years after that? If we got Cooper Flag, how many losing seasons would he be willing to endure? Could it become Donovan Mitchell 2.0 where he prefers to be in either a winning situation, or a big market? If they trade our established vets now for nothing, how do they fill out the roster and get the high level depth necessary to seriously compete for a chip?
Idk what’s going on with your mic cutting out every couple seconds but it’s drivin me crazy
Luka to the Lakers… AD to the Mavs… SECOND ROUND PICKS TO THE JAZZ!!!!!
I wonder if the Clippers saw the Eubanks clip defending Collier in a previous game
I think that Jazz would go with Demin at that spot. No Hugo at #17?
