SLC Dunk: for Utah Jazz fans SB Nation

The Utah Jazz are at a crossroads this season. They had a fun start that led to one of the more fun stories to start the season, but now they’ve lost 4 in a row including losses to the Spurs and the Kings. They also have a losing record and are trending downward rather than up in the standings. What should they do at, or before, trade deadline?
Lauri Markkanen is also making a big name for himself this season. He’s been putting up incredible numbers with Will Hardy and is looking like an incredible pickup for the Jazz. Can he make the all-star team? We’ve already seen the Jazz have started their campaign. Here’s what they sent to Marc Stein to remind him of what the Jazz are doing this season.

Without Mike Conley the Utah Jazz are now 1-5 this season? They have two lottery picks now and it's clear that they may not be quite the team they were at the beginning of the year when Mike Conley was playing at an all star level. With him out wins have been hard to come by. What can they do to improve? Or is the defense just not good enough for them to make it?

The Utah Jazz are 5-2 and don't look to be slowing down any time soon. Will Hardy is looking like a lock for coach of the year. Lauri Markkanen is playing at an all star level and players like Jordan Clarkson are evolving before our eyes. This is getting exciting and it's only going to get more and more fun if the Jazz can keep this up. Should the Jazz make a trade or should they stay the course?
