Citing the economy, the college scene and the airport among other things, Smith states that Utah has “nothing in common with small markets.”

Will Hardy got a contract extension through 2031.

The ability to win, put up points and still patiently run an offense made him seem like a great fit under Jerry Sloan, not to mention he seemed like a player who’s experience made him an option to “play now”.

As of now they simultaneously hold the 10th spot as both the best and worst organization in the NBA based on The Athletics survey.

The Jazz may still stink next year and the off-season may do little to quelch any fears, but the team will at least look good (stylistically speaking).

The Jazz injury report has been a constantly revolving door starting all the way back with Taylor Hendricks suffering a season ending injury three games into the season, and it hasn’t slowed down since.

With 8 games left in the season, the Jazz are already tied with the 1979-80 team with the most losses ever suffered by the team since moving to Salt Lake City, currently boasting a 16-58 record.

Clearly someone, or a group of someone’s didn’t play to Hardy’s ambitions nor expectations regardless of the win or loss.

Even with a current 52.1 percent chance of at least a top 4 selection, lottery history is not on Utah’s side.

With both the Utah Jazz and Hockey Club playing 82 game seasons in the same months (September-April) the 34 year old building is busier than ever.
