Brad Rock: Utah Jazz treading water until summer when they do their best work on team management front

SALT LAKE CITY — The air had cleared, the storm clouds departed, and a lot of Utahns breathed a sign of relief. That wasn’t just because of the weather.

Mostly it was about the NBA’s trade deadline passing silently for the Jazz. The team that beat Phoenix by 28 points the previous night is the same team that will be hosting San Antonio Saturday afternoon. It’s also the team that has captured Jazz fans’ interest. But capturing their imagination is more complicated.

A trade to get Mike Conley would have been a major help. But it takes giving up assets.
