#SLOE: People's Basketball Sim League

Welcome to the Utah Jazz press conference. Last season was on par of what we thought we would do. We are still in rebuilding mode and hope to be moving on from that this year. We know that Center and Power Forward are the two positions that needed to be addressed. In the draft we hopefully found our Center for the Future,Jonas Valanciunas. He is young but we fill he is ready to start this season. We know he will not be dominate but think we will be able to hold his own.



Next in Fa we looked towards the PF hole. We were able to land Zaza Pachulia. I know most say he is a Center but we feel he can PF for our team. We also added a vet presence in Dirk Nowitzki. We fill his role will be coming off the bench to help with scoring. We feel our bench filled with young players that will be able to grow with our core.




Next was Training Camp where we has some ups and downs. Paul, Ricky, and C.J. continued to grow as most the team did. Jonas had a rough TC and did not improve as much as we like. But at 19 years old we feel if just an adjustment and will still grow into the player we know he can be. With that is time to get back to training. Floors open for questions.

Sam Smith, Bulls.com With virtually every player on a team option next year and a ton of salary cap space, the Jazz are in a pretty versatile position in terms of direction. Do you have any plans to try and move on any big trading block names in order to improve your position this season?
