On this episode of the SLC Punks podcast we go over our reactions to the Utah Jazz signing Bojan Bogdanovic. Is this the best nba offseason ever for the Utah Jazz. We think so! First, how will this signing go for the Utah Jazz? Are they title contenders now? Who will challenge them in the west between the Lakers, Rockets and Nuggets. We also discuss other signings in the NBA in what has been a crazy free agency weekend. It's so nice to have this happen at 6:00 and not at midnight. There is no way that anything changes in the future either. How did we do this in the past? Ed Davis is a quiet but really good signing that shores up a lot of what Derrick Favors did for the second unit. And finally, are the Jazz done? We look at some other free agency options for Utah that could be had. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Oh, and Mitchell also got to go to the premiere of the Spiderman film that went along with the release of his shoes. Having Donovan Mitchell on your team is a great thing. Next we discuss the free agency rumors surrounding Derrick Favors and his possible exit from the team with Bobby Portis and Nikola Mirotic being rumored to have mutual interest with the Jazz.

On this episode of the SLC Punks Podcast we talk with Joe Mullinax of Grizzly Bear Blues about the potential trade between the Utah Jazz and the Memphis Grizzlies for Mike Conley. Joe talked with us about how much Mike Conley has meant to the Grizzlies and how hard it is for them to watch him go. He also talks to us about what it will take to make a trade happen. What type of assets will it take and are there any other suitors out there that could swoop in and make their own offer? We then take time to look at the dumpster fire happening in Boston. Not only are they losing Kyrie Irving, but also Al Horford. The cherry on top is that Jackie MacMullan reported that Gordon Hayward being “force-fed” to the rest of the team was the beginning of the problems in Boston. You hate to see it.

The Toronto Raptors and the Utah Jazz have a lot of things in common. They’re both franchises that don’t get the elite free agents in the offseason. To get by they’ve had to make shrewd moves and draft picks to work their way up the standings. With those picks and marginal trades they both eventually would find themselves hitting a ceiling. The Raptors changed their fortunes when they took a 1-year chance with Kawhi Leonard. So far that has worked wonders for them. On this episode of the SLC Punks Podcast we look at some possible trades that have huge risk but could also come with huge payoff as well. Some of the possible trades we talk about are for Mike Conley, Kevin Love and Danillo Gallinari. Whatever the Jazz do this offseason, you can bet it’s going to raise some eyebrows and, if everything rolls right, maybe the Jazz’s ceiling in the playoffs. Learn more about your ad choices.

What does this mean for his future? How does this affect his free agency and is there a chance he comes back? There’s a log of D’Angelo Russell rumors out there and a lot of them have Utah showing interest. How likely is Russell to come to Utah and how good would he be next to Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert? Finally, Donovan Mitchell might be with team USA at the FIBA World Championships. Is that a good idea? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Rudy Gobert was just named to 3rd Team All NBA and will probably be winning a consecutive defensive player of the year award. This will qualify him for a super max extension when it’s time for a new contract. It’s a lot of money and a huge commitment. Is it worth it? We discuss that on this episode of SLC Punks. We also discuss possible free agents, like Tobias Harris and D’Angelo Russell, and how likely they would actually be to sign with the Utah Jazz. Learn more about your ad choices.
