Locked On Jazz - Daily Podcast On The Utah Jazz

Is Rudy Gobert aging in a way that made it important for the Utah Jazz to trade him? A new stat called Bonus wins from the crew at True Hoop made this case. David Locke, radio voice of the Utah Jazz and Jazz NBA Insider, doesn't buy Gobert will have a big aging because of the way he takes care of his body. However, there are some metrics that bring in some questions to Gobert's future productivity. What is unquestioned is the bonus wins will be hard to achieve.

Malik Beasley meet with the Utah Jazz media for the first time yesterday and gets the win with a quest to rebrand and reintroduce himself. Beasley's openness about his work to improve and his time with a therapist was ground breaking and wonderful.

Walker Kessler also meet with the media and shared a very impressive thought process about how to play defense and impact the game.

Also what to watch in summer league.

It is a #askloj Friday edition of LOCKED ON JAZZ. First, David Locke, the radio voice of the Utah Jazz and Jazz NBA Insider, takes you through the Utah Jazz debate for your weekend. Would you rather have Rudy Gobert for his entire career as a Jazzman but a team that hovers around 50 wins and a limited playoff run or would you like to try to build up a war chest of assets and attempt a championship run after a few years of a reload and rebuild?

Great questions came in for #askloj today. What teams have done this before rebuilding with a star still on the roster? How do the Jazz fill out the rest of their roster? What are the center minutes going to be? What is the path or timeline for the Utah Jazz? Are international players more likely to stay?

Also, Locke touches on what is going on with DeAndre Ayton

David Locke, radio voice of the Utah Jazz and Jazz NBA Insider, take a look at all angles of the Rudy Gobert trade. The emotions of losing one of your own and a beloved player like Rudy Gobert. The player that we knew how great he was and had to argue on his behalf and now someone else gets the pleasure.

Locke revisits the decision making tree of the Utah Jazz and how they got to trading Rudy Gobert and why they took this trade rather than other options that may have been on the table for the Utah Jazz.

Then Locke looks into what did we really get in this trade and what are the possibilities of benefit for trading one of the great players in franchise history. A look at each of the 5 first round picks and what they could become and the margin starts to expand the farther out you go.

The NBA free agency frenzy was in full scale insanity mode yesterday and the Utah Jazz made a move trading Royce O'Neale for a future 1st round draft pick. However, any major landscape changing move for the Utah Jazz didn't happen.

Does this mean the market is dry and the Utah Jazz are out of options or have the Utah Jazz been put on hold as though they are calling the airlines.

What did the Jazz get in the Royce O'Neale trade and why did they make the move. Did the rest of the West get better or worse with the moves of Day 1 of free agency.
