Hello and welcome to the Game Theory podcast.

I'm your host Sam Vassini.

Today we're talking about the Utah Jazz as part of our game theory offseason preview

series where we break down all 30 NBA teams in their forthcoming decisions this summer.

Bryce, the jazz are a fun conversation.

It's really about young guys, extending young guys, signing guys to contracts,

and the number two overall pick. It's actually like a pretty easy, breezy conversation where

we're just kind of evaluating a bunch of players deciding what they're worth and what we think

they're worth and moving forward. Well, I think also what's fun about this is

both of us really like this roster. We really like this team. This is an exciting team. It's

a team that I think is going to make some noise in the Western Conference next year. And

it's what's already on the roster. It's what they're going to add in the draft.

They're going to get a really good player. I know we'll talk about that. And I think no matter who it ends up being, like even if they take the player, you know, even if they take Camboozer, which isn't what I would do. I know we'll talk about that more. But that's still a really good player to add to this roster. So I think as long as they get this Walker Kessler thing figured out,

they're going to be in a really,

really good spot.

And I know we'll talk really in depth on that.

Not getting that correct and not keeping him on the roster does end up in some,

puts the roster in a situation I don't like as much.

I think he is important to keep, unless there's some bigger move to bring somebody else.

I'm going to be honest.

I think that's a super easy conversation.

We will talk about it, though, for sure.
