Transactions

Trades
On December 29, 2007 the Utah Jazz announced that Gordan Giricek and a 1st round draft pick (through 2009-2014 pick) would trade to the Philadelphia 76ers for Kyle Korver
Before this trade the Jazz team lacked an outside shooter, one they can count on during clucth times. Located in the western conference, Utah Jazz knew they had to make a blockbuster trade since top teams like Dallas Mavericks and Phoenix Suns were making their own big time trades.
After the trade Jazz had an up tempo team which led them to long winning streaks along with moving up the western conference standings. Jazz have virtually clinched a spot in for the playoffs, the question now stands which spot they wil clinch and looking at the current standings they would have to play Phoenix Suns in the first round which has a great three point shooting team.
