Heading into the offseason, the Utah Jazz reported over $25 million in losses. It was expected though as the three core players, Kirilenko, Boozer, and Okur, were signed for over $200 million together. The Utah Jazz are looking for players to complement their stars in the upcoming free agency. Matt Harpring is ... expected to re-sign with the team.

The team was originally the New Orleans Jazz, but due to owner Sam Battistone's unhappiness in New Orleans (and perhaps his wife's Utah roots), moved to Utah in 1979. The Jazz were one of the most successful teams in the late 1980s and 1990s, winning two Western Conference Titles in 1997 and 1998 under coach Jerry Sloan, who is still the head coach. The Finalist teams were anchored by the combination of point guard John Stockton and power forward Karl Malone and made the playoffs 20 consecutive seasons (behind only the record Portland Trail Blazers' 21-year playoff streak). Malone and Stockton are generally seen as two of the best players in history at their positions and among the best two-player combinations of all time.
