With the Jazz off to an earlier-than-usual summer vacation, The Salt Lake Tribune’s Jazz beat writers, Eric Walden and Andy B. Larsen, found themselves discussing … the Champions League semifinals? Not for long, though.
For while there may be no more Jazz games to play, there are still plenty of Jazz items to discuss. Plus, trolling Andy about a loss by his soccer team of choice may be entertaining to Eric but likely has limited appeal otherwise.
Given that, they quickly settle in to another edition of the podcast, this time discussing what went wrong against the Rockets, whether winning more regular-season games but being eliminated earlier in the playoffs (against an admittedly difficult foe) constitutes “progress,” assessing who from this roster might not be back next season, and throwing out a few names of potential replacements — some of which you’ve heard, and some of which you maybe haven’t.
