A hypothetical trade from Friday's edition of Locked On Jazz leads to the bigger questions of how long will it be for the Utah Jazz to contend for a title. Using the Ringer's top 125 players in the NBA, David Locke radio voice of the Utah Jazz and Jazz NBA Insider takes a look at what it will take for the Utah Jazz. The baseline is set that the top teams have a player in the top 10 and 3 in the top 50 to be a contender. Right now the Utah Jazz have Lauri Markkanen at 28 and no other players in the top100.

The NBA is moving away from the traditional point guard with nearly a thrid of the teams no longer implementing the traditional point guard. For the Utah Jazz that may mean that Jordan Clarkson is the point guard for the team to start the season. Why is the league moving in this direction? What does it mean for the Utah Jazz? David Locke, radio voice of the Utah Jazz and Jazz NBA Insider takes a look at the Utah Jazz lineup data with the remaning players on the roster and the Jazz pick and roll numbers from last year. What is clear is the Jazz have limited pick and roll exposure with the current players and maybe this is a sign the Jazz are moving away from the NBA's most frequented play the pick and roll. Locke also takes a look at the power rankings of ESPN and the Athletic and where they put the Utah Jazz. Locked On Jazz Podcast
Utah Jazz rookie Keyonte George's summer league performance was awesome and really important for the Utah Jazz. George's first team summer league performance showed that most of the concerns about his play at Baylor have been answered. However, the next step of regular season NBA basketball on a rookie guard is brutal. David Locke, radio voice of the Utah Jazz and Jazz NBA Insdier takes a look at the last 28 guards drafted in the top 20 of the NBA draft and how did they perform in their rookie seasons. The numbers are daunting because the task is hard. Then Locke shares a crazy fictional, fabricated and probably false theory on how Kawhi Leonard or Paul George and James Harden end up switching teams. Locked On Jazz Podcast

The word in the NBA is that the agents for Damian Lillard are in "complete control" of the Damian Lillard negotations and where he is heading. This means all the talk of Damian possibly coming to the Utah Jazz maybe a mute discussion. However, such a move by Damian makes for an interesting conversation about team loyality and player loyality to team. It also sheds a different light on the Jazz making the moves with Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert before they lost leverage. The Utah Jazz are heading down the path of all ballhandlers on deck. David Locke, radio voice of the Utah Jazz and Jazz NBA insider, takes a look at how it would work without a point guard and with a multi ballhandler approach. Lots of people have asked about Kris Dunn and where he fits in the Utah Jazz rotation. Locke looks at where those minutes could come from with the roster in its current construction. Finally, summer league day 1 what were the impression of rookie Keyonte George and what Locke thinks we should all be watching in the summer league. Locked On Jazz Podcast
The NBA is waiting on the Damian Lillard trade. Should the Utah Jazz get involved in Damian Lillard trades. There are three aspects to any Damian Lillard conversation, his contract, how good would the Utah Jazz be and what assets would you have to give up. David Locke, radio voice of the Utah Jazz and Jazz NBA Insider takes a look at all three of those. The Utah Jazz made two significant moves in free agency they used their cap space to acquire John Collins and they extended Jordan Clarkson. Locke takes a look at those moves and how they look in the landscape of free agency. Do the Utah Jazz need a point guard? At this moment it is fair to say they don't have one but maybe the modern NBA is made differently and that player is no longer a necessity. Locked On Jazz Podcast
