The 2026-27 edition of the Utah Jazz debuted on Sunday night in Boulder, Colorado for a special preseason matchup against the Denver Nuggets.

The Jazz got the preseason win, but there was way more to look into to get an idea of how the Jazz will fare this season!

How did the young studs Darryn Peterson and Ace Bailey look? Did we get more insight into Jaren Jackson Jr.'s new look in Utah?

Mark Russell Pereira (Bluesky: @jazzmanmark.com) was in attendance to give all of the first-person insight, and is joined by Dan Clayton (@danclayt0n) break down all of the action.

The 2026-2027 season preview for the Utah Jazz keeps on rolling at Salt City Hoops!

For this edition, Dan Clayton (Twitter: @danclayt0n) and Mark Russell Pereira (Bluesky: @jazzmanmark.com) tap into what they predict will be the biggest strengths and weaknesses for the Jazz this year.

With a reshaped roster and the best players on the floor more, there should be many more bright spots and areas the team can succeed night after night.

But they are far from infallible, and some sore spots that plagued the past 4 years may still rear their ugly heads.

In a very surprising news drop on a Friday, we learned that Keyonte George signed a five year, $157.5 million extension to remain a Jazzman through the 2032 season!

This figure comes in quite a bit less than a lot of the media was prognosticating - what did the market suggest and why did Keyonte sign this deal?

This is also a remarkable turn of events for the lead guard who, for his first two years, had a very shaky and uncertain future in the NBA. A stellar third season showcased his sky-high potential and made Utah willing to plunk down 5 years of big guaranteed money to bet on his future.

Mark brings in friend of the show, Justin Sweeney, to break it all down!

As the furor and frenzy of the Utah Jazz offseason draws to a close, the Utah Jazz prove once again that their strategic cogs never stop.

And they bring us a good ol' fashioned trade to close out August!

Cody Williams' remarkably disappointing Utah Jazz tenure as a former #10 pick draws to a close, as he was traded alongside transient triple-double merchant John Konchar to the Timberwolves for Josh Green in a largely financially-motivated deal. The Wolves needed space for their Kuminga acquisition, and Utah packaged two players into one for roster flexibility.

Mark Russell Pereira (@jazzmanmark.com on Bluesky) breaks down the Cody Williams experience and what Josh Green can bring to the Jazz on his expiring contract.

Finally, a recap of what the Jazzmen were up to for their respective countries in FIBA World Cup qualifying matches.
