The Donovan/Rudy era of the Utah Jazz was the best three-point shooting team we’ve ever had… The team that we have currently constructed is not even close… Bogey, Conley, and Ingles shooting 40% or higher from three. More and more reason we need to draft Peterson. And pray that Washington doesn’t…

@BensHoops I mean they should be, they get fired if they get it wrong. Fans just say “darn, that sucks” and then complain about it for the next ten years.

I share this because I think fans will see a lot of “it’s an easy choice, just take [AJ, DP, Boozer, or Caleb] at two,” and I don’t think any front office actually feels that way. In general, scouts are way more diligent, and skeptical than fans.

Talking to people who have been through the process with high lottery picks and late first rounders, I just don’t get the sense that job as a scout ever feels easy, even in a ‘good draft’ like this one. “Easier to find a really good player but still hard. It’s all projection.”

@JoeMullinax Utah saying the same thing to all the Wizards fans saying they need to include Ace Bailey to move up to one. I think Utah has a strong connection to Boozer and are exploring all the options

If the Jazz are trying to scare the Grizzlies (or the Bulls) with Boozer at 2, it’s not gonna work. Problem with such a strong top-4 is while Boozer is elite, and I would take him at #1, I don’t think anyone in the top-4 should mortgage the future when Peterson and Wilson exist.

@TayoMurph @TuskedUp Yea, I was alluding to option 1. If he doesn't sign an extension then he'd be forced to take a qualifying option and next summer be an UFA.

Of the 25 biggest comebacks in NBA playoff history, Donovan Mitchell has been part of four of them 25 point Thunder comeback vs Jazz (2018) 25 point Clippers comeback vs Jazz (2021) 22 point Knicks comeback vs the Cavaliers (2026) 20 point Pacers comeback vs the Cavs (2025)

@TuskedUp This makes more sense than the 2-to-1 trades since OKC has an abundance of assets, limited roster space, and a need to consolidate, but still probably won’t happen this way

@andyblarsen The rumors of how much he is willing to spend on a coach is also kind of insane. Everything he’s done so far has been really bad imo

@jayjazz3 If it’s any of the top 4 guys I’ll be excited and dive in head first. If it’s someone outside of them like Acuff I’m gonna be pretty upset.

I’ve gotta start mentally preparing for the Jazz to not take Peterson so I’m not disappointed with who they do select at 2.

The Jazz shouldn’t trade for Giannis. It just cuts their window short. You could argue the Jazz don’t even have a window without him, but you’re just going to be rebuilding in 2-3 years anyway and not have the assets to build well around Ace/DP (which is the real window anyway)
McCade Pearson@McCadeP8

I’ve seen enough, Jazz need to trade for Giannis. You need a Giannis or Jokic to even think about making the WCF in the West right now. Anything else is just a waste of time

@McCadeP8 You would be right if the goal was to win a championship next year and shorten our window to next year… But next season isn’t championship or bust, so why?

We officially dropped the paywall last week. The Salt Lake Tribune is now free. It's a pretty rare move for a newspaper in 2026, but the support of the community made it possible. More info here: sltrib.com/news/2026/05/1…

So the next champ will be Cavs (last 🏆 2016), Knicks (last 🏆 1973), Thunder (reigning 🏆), or Spurs (last 🏆 2014).

@NBABoards @McCadeP8 If you’re concerned with Kessler getting $35M a year, he wouldn’t be cheaper and Gobert at least expires sooner, so you get some cap relief I guess

@McCadeP8 Nah, that era passed. I'd go with Kessler because he is younger and likely cheaper. also, his offensive game is a little more varied than Rudy's. Kessler can and does hit the 3. I think with this offense that is going to be very important.
