Utah Jazz is undoubtedly one of the most surprising combinations at the beginning of the season at NBA. The current record is 3 wins and 0 losses. Jazz is one of the four teams in the entire league that has not tasted the taste of failure this year.
The unexpectedly strong start of the Utah Jazz caused a stir in the NBA. It turns out that LeBron James and Los Angeles Lakers may also be significantly affected by recent developments. The Jazz has been considered one of several legal landing sites for troubled Russell Wester, but now it seems the big deal could be cancelled.
According to ESPN's NBA insider Shelben, the Jazz can choose to use their current roster to try how far their current roster can go.
Shelburn said: "I was reminded before the season...If this team had a good start, don't be surprised if they retain some veterans for a while. When you play so well, they don't need to rush to start rebuilding."
After trading away their two superstars in the offseason, the Jazz should have entered rebuild mode. However, the fact that they keep winning has caused the team officials to suddenly rethink their approach to the season. Depending on how well this is performed, the Jazz can actually choose to postpone their remodeling plan.
This does not bode well for LeBron and his teammates, especially in front of Westbrook . The Jazz are one of the few teams in the league that are willing (and capable) to accept Westbrook's huge contract. If the Jazz now refuses to meet with Lakers at the negotiating table, the Lakers may be trapped by Westbrook for the foreseeable future—whether they like it or not.
