Larry Miller Elects to Leave Utah, New Owner Announced

Today, the owner of the Utah Jazz announced his retirement. Larry Miller announced in a press conference with the Deseret News that he's going to resign as the owner of the team. Larry, age 61, commented "I've had a great, a wonderful time with this franchise over the years, but I think it's time to see what someone else can do for the team because I'm becoming older and may very well be losing my mind along with the old age" regarding as to why he's giving up the position.

With Miller out of the front office, there's nobody that can fill his prestigious career, right? Not so according to the 18 year old business student from Morristown, Tennessee. Trevor, Jerry Sloan's best friend Kevin Workman's son, knows he can turn the team around and fill the spot. In an interview Trevor stated "I recognize the history of the team and the involvement Larry had with the team, and I'd like to keep the franchise rolling into the future and finally get this team the top honor in the game. That top honor, of course, is an NBA championship. I hope you guys are ready for some exciting changes in Utah because I'm about to shake things up".

Nice I like ur trades. Looks really good. I thought the Paul Trade was kind of wierd considering the Jazz wanted Williams more since they had an option to pick up Williams or Paul, but since theres a new GM, it makes sence. Good work man, keep it up.

Jazz Win Season Opener 107-98

Image

Image 98Image 107

Postgame Recap

The new look Utah Jazz opened the new season with a big win against the Dallas Mavericks in Utah. The recently aquired Rookie Point Guard Chris Paul from Wake Forest had a brilliant debut with 25 points, 7 assists, and 2 steals in just 27 minutes of play. The Jazz had a total of 5 players with double figures. All-Star Forward Dirk Nowitzki of the Dallas Mavericks had a solid night with 26 points, 15 rebounds, and 3 blocks. Jason Terry had an off-night from the field shooting just 5-25 on the night.

Coach Sloan's rearranged roster looks to be a good one thus far with a 107-98 win Wednesday night. The Dallas Mavericks move to 1-1 and the Jazz start off the season with an impressive win at home.

Jazz Involved in Another Big One

HUGE news coming out of Salt Lake City today. The Utah Jazz have brought over Yao Ming, Stromile Swift, and Dikembe Mutombo from the Rockets in exchange for Andrei Kirilenko, Marcus Haislip, and Kris Humphries. The Jazz lose a great all-around player in Andrei Kirilenko but gain 3 strong defensive big men to add some explosion to Utah's uptempo defense they've implemented early this season in picking up Chris Paul.

The Jazz also picked up Latrell Sprewell from free agency. In a press conference Sprewell commented "You come up to me a year ago and ask me if I thought I'd be in a Jazz uniform a year down the road I would've told you there's no way, but this franchise has made some big moves in acquiring some top-notch talent and I'm looking forward to contributing for Coach Sloan". Former Jazz Guard John Stockton added in an interview "Hopefully Latrell keeps his hands from coach's throat, he has no idea how strict Coach Sloan can be." This all happened after Jazz rookie Robert Whaley was released.

Sorry, but WTF. Are you stupid? You choose the Jazz, and you only have 3 active players that are actually from them in real life. You gotta at least keep 1 or 2 of the actual Jazz for your starters. I mean, why even pick teh jazz?

Anyway, why'd you hire a FOOTBALL offensive coordinator???

Stupid? Yeah, If you'ld read the first tidbit on Larry Miller leaving and me stepping in it'd make sense. Why pick the Jazz? It's simple, I grew up in Utah and am a lifetime fan of the team and I DON'T like how things are going in Utah right now and I wanted to try something different with a dynasty, what does it matter? As for me hiring a football offensive coordinator, he's got COACHING experience and he's knowlegeable of basketball. Joe Gibbs coaches football and owns a NASCAR team, why not in the NBA?
