SLC Dunk: for Utah Jazz fans

Latest Episodes:

The case for Donovan Mitchell making All-NBA Mar 26, 2019

Show notes

On this episode of the SLC Punks podcast it’s Donovan Mitchell appreciation day (which could also be every day) and we look at his case for making one of the All NBA teams.

You’d be surprised just how close his numbers are to guys that are considered shoe-ins and when you consider that he shoulders the offensive load for the Utah Jazz, a playoff team in the Western Conference, he should be getting so much more love.

We also discuss the recent Jazz Twitter poll and how we did. We didn’t care about the poll, but we also cared about it a lot.

How are the Utah Jazz looking post All-Star Break? Feb 26, 2019

Show notes

The Utah Jazz now have two games under their belt after returning from the All-Star break tan and rested. The first loss was a close one against the Thunder they had many chances to win and somehow found a way to lose, and a nice comeback win against the Dallas Mavericks.

After these two games, what are the things Jazz fans should be excited about. On this episode we discuss Donovan Mitchell and his play post All-Star break and also Joe Ingles. Is Jinglin Joe back? And how important is his play?

We discuss Ricky Rubio and what the Jazz should expect from him. What does the rest of the season hold for Rubio and what possible changes will there be?

Looking back at the trade deadline and why the Utah Jazz didn't make a move Feb 09, 2019

Show notes

(Excuse the abrupt ending to the podcast because the phone app cut off...)

The Utah Jazz decided not to make a trade for Mike Conley, or anyone else. It's a little bit surprising with how much noise there was around the Jazz and their obvious interest in a trade of Ricky Rubio for Mike Conley.

Now that the trade deadline is over, what are the next steps for the Jazz in terms of roster building? The Jazz are a good team now but how do they become a great team?

On this episode of The Road Trip we discuss those things and plus more insights on the Jazz and what they may do this upcoming offseason, which is much more important now that a trade has not happened.

Utah Jazz trade deadline talk: Mike Conley, Otto Porter and Aaron Gordon Feb 04, 2019

Show notes

With the 2019 NBA trade deadline only a few days away, the Utah Jazz are still rumored to be going after Mike Conley of the Memphis Grizzlies. Multiple offers have been made, but what offer makes the most sense to make Conley a Jazzman? On this episode of the SLC Punks podcast, we discuss the pros and cons of signing Mike Conley and what type of offer it will take to bring him to the Jazz. It’s clear that Ricky Rubio and/or Derrick Favors might not be enough. It may need to be a combination of either picks or prospects. Would it take Dante Exum? Should the Jazz be willing to move Exum to make it happen? This and more on this weeks SLC Punks podcast!

Should the Jazz trade for Mike Conley? Jan 22, 2019

Show notes

On this episode of the SLC Punks podcast we discuss the news from Adrian Wojnarowski that the Memphis Grizzlies are making Mike Conley and Marc Gasol available for trade. Should the Utah Jazz make a move for Conley? What would the benefits and downfalls be? Will it help or hurt the team to make that trade and who will they have to give up? We also took the following questions from Twitter: @Jasconstable: Is Conley a bigger upgrade at PG than Porter or Harris is at PF, given those deals probably cost Favors plus Rubio plus a 2019 first. @Colin_SLC Given the points made in the article by Jonathan Tjarks in the Ringer about Ingles today and Donovan’s demonstrated playmaker potential, (and not forgetting about Exum), how much do you stop worrying about the point guard situation and just look for shooters & 3+d wing player types moving forward?

Show notes

Visit their Utah Jazz focused page here for incredible insight! https://www.sportsbettingdime.com/nba/teams/utah-jazz/ On this episode of the SLC Punks podcast we discuss the improved play of Dante Exum. Is it for real or is this a flash in the pan? We discuss what it means for the Utah Jazz if Dante Exum’s play continues. It may mean they have to make some tough decisions, what will those decisions be? Are there things the Jazz can do to make life easier for Donovan Mitchell? There may be things he’s dealing with we may not know about. A major sign is the drastic drop in dunks and dunk attempts. Is that a result of an unreleased injury, maybe the after effects of his end of season injury or is it just spacing? Finally, what are the trade scenarios the Jazz are looking at that could improve the scoring droughts the Jazz sometimes face?
