From our Spanish sources
Raul is coming !?!
6/22
In a interview with Marca.com, "Raul Lopez has announced his desire to go to the Utah Jazz and make a big jump to the NBA.
Raul Lopez is going to the NBA, and his decision is final. The "star" of Madrid won't appear with the white team (Real Madrid) and has the intention of playing the next season with the Utah Jazz, the team which picked him in the draft of 2001. "

Inside information by our source in Spain states that:  "After two consecutive seasons without winning a single trophy in three different competitions, Real Madrid are undergoing major changes. Five players (PG's Djordjevic, Attruia and Llorente, SG Vukcevic and C Struelens) have been waived so far. But four more players are very likely to follow them - these include SF's Iturbe and A. Angulo, former Chicago Bulls C Dragan Tarlac, and Raúl López himself.
Real Madrid have resigned PG Victoriano (who played last season for another ACB team) and are after one or two more PG's, namely Louis Bullock (top scorer in the Italian league last season) and Corey Brewer. Considering the team has already signed Román Montáñez, a PG in a SG's body that can play at both spots, it is more than evident that there's no place for Raúl López in the roster anymore."

LAST-MINUTE MOCK NBA DRAFT  6/26

A 2nd look at Boozer
6/25
The Jazz brought Carlos Boozer back for a second workout Monday, and this time the Duke bruiser showed a bit better than he did on his first visit to Utah.
But it remains to be seen if that's enough to convince the Jazz to tab Boozer, assuming he's available, with their No. 19 overall pick in Wednesday's NBA Draft.

Big guys
6/25
At 7-foot-5, Chinese center Yao Ming is head-and-shoulders — figuratively, and almost literally — above this draft's best big men. Ming should go No. 1 overall to Houston, but there's a drop after that.

Time May Be Right for Jazz to Move Up in Draft
6/24
For only the third time in 14 years, the Jazz on Wednesday will get to select a player among the first 20 taken in the NBA Draft. But if that pick, No. 19, seems relatively high for the only NBA team never to own a lottery selection, history shows that it can also come just a few choices too late.
In 1988, the Jazz were all set to choose, with the 17th pick, one of the least-known players in that year's draft --
JAZZ: Utah Gets Outsider Look From Irvine
6/25
Like most fired NBA coaches, George Irvine already is angling for his next head-coaching gig, and he thinks he has one nailed down. The former Pacers and Pistons boss hopes next year to be leading the Mustangs.
That's the Monte Vista High School (Calif.) girls golf team.
In the meantime, Irvine is watching videotape and evaluating potential draftees for the Utah Jazz, adding an additional voice to the Jazz's preparation for Wednesday's NBA Draft.
It's Lying Game season
6/23
Some call it fibbing.
Others prefer misinformation, or even disinformation, a term usually reserved for describing the planting of false information regarding political and military matters.
But whatever it's dubbed, make no mistake: At this time of year, normally honest, upstanding men throughout the NBA cave in to the pressures of playing . . .
The Lying Game.
"Oh, it's real," said David Fredman, the former Jazz scouting director, now a Denver Nuggets assistant general manager.
2002 NBA draft foreign invasion
6/24
Cream of the crop
With 7-foot-5 Chinese center Yao Ming expected to go No. 1 overall to Houston, things are really looking up for foreign prospects in this year's NBA Draft. As many as seven non-North Americans are expected to be selected in the opening round, including potential lottery picks Nene Hilario, a 6-11 Brazilian big man, and Nikoloz Tskitishvili, a 7-foot Georgian who played two seasons in Slovenia and last season for Benetton Treviso of the Italian League.
Jazz in need of a good shooter, but will take 'best available'

The numbers spell out the problem in cold statistical truths, but anybody who watched the Utah Jazz last season didn't need any paperwork to figure it out.
