  The Jazz received some validation in June when center Rudy Gobert was named to the NBA’s All-Defensive Team.
  The Jazz have gone to a whole other level in July. They’ve become their own version of an all-defensive team, adding three free agents who will add depth to a roster that’s already built for defense.

• Monson: An ode to the fans in Utah, whack-jobs that they are

  15-07-2017 19:33
  
  This is an ode to the sports fans of Utah.
  And to the state itself.
  It’s not a poem. Just a column from the heart.
  In the wake of Gordon Hayward’s departure, a lot of voices from around the country, including Boston, have piped up not only on Hayward’s decision to leave Utah for Boston but also about players either wanting or not wanting to play here or be here or win here. In the process, in some cases, Salt Lake City has been relegated to the dump heap of NBA destinations, a

  Gordon Hayward finally became a Celtic, only not in Boston.
  A week after arriving in Boston and being pictured shopping for a discount suit and a designer haircut, then being sent home while the team’s other transactions were being completed, Hayward signed his four-year, $128 million contract Friday. He was introduced to the media via a conference call, about five hours after Celtics executive Danny Ainge announced the free-agent acquisition.
  That’s the last chapter in a saga that w
