Mañon is on a two-way deal with the Lakers for the second consecutive year

Alphonso de Lamartine (who surely we all know and revere) wrote in his 1854 documentation of the French Revolution, “History teaches all things, even the future”. While the great Frenchman was writing of something with greater consequence than the Jazz’s projection for the 2027 season, the principle stands – if we would like a forecast for this upcoming season, we need only to understand the success of some of the team’s historical parallels. Now, this is not a perfect science. For starters, ...

Mo Diawara will start the season in the rotation This isn’t set in stone. It’s just my gut feeling. If Brown is going to play 10 players every night, we know the starters will make up the first five. We can confidently pencil in Landry Shamet, Miles “Deuce” McBride, Andre Drummond and Jose Alvarado behind them. To me, the 10th spot comes down to Jordan Clarkson and Diawara. Clarkson feels like a “break glass in case of emergency” option this season. He’s a pro’s pro, and I don’t worry about h...

Miller had 26 points and 7 boards on 11-of-14 shooting against Denver, including 4-of-6 from three. SI notes that he already seems to be getting the nod ahead of Patrick Williams in Splitter’s rotation. And once again, Williams is the 4th-highest paid player on the team at $18M this year, with the same money coming the next two seasons. I don’t love piling on the guy, but at this point that contract feels pretty much untradeable. Buddy Hield also gets a mention for the shooting and veteran pr...
