2022 off-season - a big one!

Jake Fischer: [URL="https://open.spotify.com/episode/54insVmuNcHxze4AVyFxMG"]They’re definitely not moving Donovan unless he requests a trade which I don’t think it’s going to have happen[/URL].

Jake Fischer on potential Rudy Gobert trade: I really do think it’s like 50/50, 60/40 because I think, ultimately, [URL="https://open.spotify.com/episode/54insVmuNcHxze4AVyFxMG"]if they don’t find a package back that they think is worth, I think they’re very happy to keep him. I think a lot of people there would be[/URL].

[QUOTE]So is purple coming back? Yes, at least in some capacity. But the yellow, black and white design that made its way into Jazz graphics will likely be at the forefront. The [URL="https://twitter.com/JazzNationNews/status/1537212845829410818"]heavily-leaked[/URL] design — featuring three new jerseys — is expected to be revealed on Friday with a purple mountains jersey serving as an alternate.

[QUOTE]According to a [URL="https://twitter.com/TheNBACentral/status/1536763190486368257"]recent report[/URL], any team interested in Gobert would have to be willing to part ways with a “star-caliber player, a young prospect, and draft picks.” It should come as no surprise that the asking price for Gobert is that rich.

one of the best players in the league. If you choose to tank you better get a lot

I'm actually surprised at how much other teams fanbases are underrating Rudy. He's definitely become a victim of a narrative that has been created to protect Donovan.

Like Bulls fans on The Athletic think he's not a big upgrade over Vuc. He's an A1 level defender, he's gotten this team to be #1 in the West last year, you put him on a Bulls team who actually have some decent perimeter defenders and they'd be huge in the East. Atlanta, Trae would be finding him on lobs all day long.

He'll make someone better certainly. Almost every team in the league could use him. Might be better off staying in the west now that it's weaker but if they trade him east is more likely for sure

The black could actually work with a different color. The yellow is awful. Hopefully we don't see much of the black and yellow jerseys and they stick with the throwback and the white

The black actually looks OK in action, but the black and yellow are the types of jerseys that won't look that good when it's an average fan wearing them.

Report is the final 4 is Alex Jensen, Will Hardy, Johnnie Bryant and Adrian Griffin.

Sweden’s ex-NBA star [URL="https://www.thelocal.se/20220618/swedens-ex-nba-star-leaves-moscow-team/"]Jonas Jerebko has quit CSKA Moscow,[/URL] the team said on Saturday, less than three months after his controversial decision to join the organisation amid international condemnation of Russia. The Swedish basketball federation cut Jerebko from the national squad at the end of March, a day after he joined CSKA Moscow, saying his decision was “against the federation’s values and our very clear stance towards Russia” over its invasion of Ukraine.

looks like they already know they blew it with the jerseys. The purple this year looks out of place with the other 3

LEAK: Knicks' Assistant Johnnie Bryant will be among the candidates to have a second interview as the Utah Jazz continue the search for a Head Coach

Literally all it took was to replace the yellow with purple and it all probably would have looked fine. Read Smith wanted just black/white but got told no by the league and Nike because of the Spurs/Nets, so they just threw the yellow in to get it accepted. Then they started hearing everyone hated the look once it was leaked and dumped the purple back in to try and placate fans. Wouldn't have been hard to copy the note logo white jersey with a purple/white based one and then a black/white one. Not sure what the plain Utah/Jazz idea came from either.

Black court looks good though.

Something like this looks way better to me

the court looks pretty good but the yellow is still awful
