Front office

Lastly, Utah has built a front office that is respected throughout the league.

Whether it is through their open communication with players and agents or by continuing to make sound moves to improve the team without losing valuable assets, the Jazz front office clearly knows what they are doing.

It wouldn’t be right to leave out ownership, as the Jazz might have the best ownership in all of basketball. The Millers’ decision to transfer the ownership of the Jazz into a Legacy Trust was beyond unselfish and showed their commitment to the future of the team and the city.

And then we get to the man orchestrating all of this beauty – Dennis Lindsey.

#InDennisWeTrust, right?

What is your favorite move Dennis has made since joining the Jazz? It has to be trading for Donovan on draft night, right?

If you have another favorite front office move, let me know below!

One thing is certain, if Utah’s front office continues to build off the success they have had in recent years, the Jazz will be contending for years to come.
