August 29 was the deadline for teams to waive a player while stretching their salary for the 2026-27 season. By stretching Konchar's cap hit, the Wolves will cre...

When working with salary matching rules, a $14.7 million deal is a lot more useful than two $6 million ones. Because of this trade, the Jazz will have the option of pairing Green with a single other small salary to bring back $26 to 30 million. submitted by /u/ClutchOlday [link] [comments]

The Utah Jazz are poised to make their franchise’s first playoff run since 2022. Unfortunately for fans of the purple and baby blue — and for three years, neon yellow — there will be four fewer beat reporters covering the team than there were just one year ago.
