Salt Lake City, UT - Let's keep the clichés going. The Utah Jazz have been dormant for the past few weeks but folks around the city are seeing the organization begin to show signs of putting the band back together. However, it appears that the members will consist of a lot of new faces.
No doubt about it, Kristaps Porzingis will be back. The team will go as far as breaking the CBA rules, regardless of what Marcos says, and offer him more than the max allowed. Mo Bamba will return and is slotted to start at C after a disappointing rookie season - to no fault of his own. Bryce Cotton is under contract and secured his spot as the teams floor leader. Outside of that, it's anyone's guess.
Steph Curry is a UFA, Gorgui Dieng and Giannis Antetotkuonmpo are under contract but there's a good chance none of them return.
Then there are the Ish Smith, Bogdanovic twins, Papagianos and other bench players that will not be guaranteed a return to the squad.
With the division bringing home the championship and OKC showing no signs of slowing down, until Andy screws it up, the Jazz need to gear up in a different way.
Anything goes and GM Ocons looks to be active again - hence this nonsense wiretap for some cheap scouting points just before the deadline!
