Utah Jazz: The NBA season is just one month away
After perhaps the most successful offseason in franchise history, the Utah Jazz are just one month away from commencing a highly anticipated season.
Following a busy free agency period that saw the Jazz pick up five rotation players in Mike Conley, Bojan Bogdanovic, Jeff Green, Ed Davis and Emmanuel Mudiay, there hasn’t been this amount of excitement circling Utah’s fan base in quite some time.
Most would say that the Jazz haven’t had such a legitimate chance of winning a championship coming into a season since their defeat at the hands of Chicago Bulls in the 1998 NBA Finals. Furthermore, the front office have put all their eggs in the basket of contending in this two-to-three year window. So in many ways, this can be a make or break season for Utah.
