The Jazz Weekly Run

Can Rodney Hood be the NBA's Most Improved Player? Can Derrick Favors and Rudy Gobert play together? Will they? This week's Media Day kicked off the Jazz's preseason training camp, and with it came plenty of questions. Tribune reporters Tony Jones, Kyle Goon and Aaron Falk discuss.

Training camp is just around the corner, so it's time to get back in a preseason groove. Trib reporters Tony Jones, Kyle Goon and Aaron Falk discuss Rodney Hood's role and extension talks; Rudy Gobert becoming the face of the franchise; and what the end of the bench could look like.

Sometimes you have to spend money to make money. Just ask Joe Ingles. The Aussie forward said he spent about $12 on an Uber ride from his hotel in Los Angeles to his free agency meeting with the Utah Jazz. The end result: a four-year contract worth $52 million. Best Uber ride ever, right? On this episode of the TribJazz podcast, Tribune reporters Tony Jones, Kyle Goon and Aaron Falk discuss Ingles’ new contract, which was made official on Tuesday, and why he wanted to come back to Utah no matter what; Kyrie Irving's strange trade demands; and why the Jazz are building a reputation for player development.

Gordon Hayward is gone, so how can the Jazz pick up the pieces? Is Donovan Mitchell for real? Tribune reporters Tony Jones, Kyle Goon and Aaron Falk look at Hayward's exit from Utah and some scoring hot summer league takes in this edition of the podcast.

Reports are swirling about Danny Ainge's desire to try to pair Gordon Hayward and Paul George together. How worried should the Jazz be about Boston's summer plans? Salt Lake Tribune reporters Tony Jones, Kyle Goon and Aaron Falk look at free agency, the Jazz's first-round draft pick Donovan Mitchell, and the NBA awards show.

What will the Jazz do in Thursday's NBA draft? Should they move up? Or could they look to package picks and make a splash in the trade market? The Salt Lake Tribune's Tony Jones, Kyle Goon and Aaron Falk discuss the upcoming week. Plus looking at Utah forward Kyle Kuzma's draft range and Frank Jackson's potential fit with the Jazz.

Joe Johnson saved the Jazz in Game 1. How can they survive without Rudy Gobert? The Salt Lake Tribune's Tony Jones and Aaron Falk, joined by KSL's Andy Larsen and the Orange County Register's Bill Oram, look at the ins and outs of a suddenly very different playoff series.

It has been five years since the Utah Jazz’s last trip to the postseason. It hasn’t been quite that long since the last time we got together for a podcast, but Tony and I ended our own drought last night.

What does this postseason mean for the Clippers, who have several stars headed for free agency this summer.
