Unless you count the sudden Grayson Allen hype, the Utah Jazz haven’t done much this summer. They didn’t need to.

No team posted a higher point differential per 100 possessions after the All-Star break. The Jazz have been free to go about their general upkeep and spin that as a victory—as they should. They never needed a face-lift to increase demand for their stock. The natural transition from 2017-18 to 2018-19 will do that for them.china nike nfl jerseys cheap

Think about all the extra bumps Utah could get by doing virtually nothing:

A more experienced Donovan Mitchell.
A healthier Dante Exum, Rudy Gobert and Thabo Sefolosha, who missed a combined 138 games last year.
More exposure to Jae Crowder-at-the-4 lineups, which outscored opponents by 13.5 points per 100 possessions, according to Cleaning The Glass.
Better availability from Ricky Rubio during the playoffs.

Much like the Thunder, the Jazz could find themselves competing for a top-two playoff seed if the Rockets incur any measurable fallout from Ariza’s and Mbah a Moute’s departures. And they have the expiring contracts to cobble together some low-key awesome trade packages at the midseason mark.

Begging the Jazz to push their status even further is tempting. They still have the non-taxpayer’s mid-level exception, and extracting Kyle Korver from Cleveland would nfl cheap jerseys nike be a great fit for the offense. But they don’t have the ready-made roster space to go on a last-second talent hunt. Nor do they need it.cheap nike nfl jerseys free shipping

In fact, consider this the last time Utah makes an appearance among under-the-radar contenders. The secret’s out. The Jazz are terrifyingly good.
