Utah Jazz should be considered a favorite for the NBA Championship

The headline of this piece almost feels blasphemous. Even in the days of John Stockton and Karl Malone, no one said those words aloud. It almost felt like saying Macbeth in a theatre. It was a curse, a plague to future success. But today the Utah Jazz must embrace it. The Utah Jazz are title contenders and should be assumed the frontrunner to be the Western Conference’s representative in the NBA Finals.

The Utah Jazz locked down Bojan Bogdanovic first, then landed Ed Davis next. They garnered additional assets for Derrick Favors through a trade to the Pelicans.
