Up until the past year or so, it's been unclear what direction the Utah Jazz were going over the past three years. What has been clear is how often they have helped teams in their pursuit of a title since blowing it up. The Minnesota Timberwolves, Cleveland Cavaliers, Los Angeles Lakers, and Los Angeles Clippers all have the Jazz to thank to some degree for getting to where they are.
All four teams currently have pretty high aspirations for this coming season, and the Jazz played a part in why they believe in themselves as much as they do.
