Summary

If Tyrone Corbin held the position of general manager for the Utah Jazz instead of head coach, the team probably wouldn't look any different on Friday morning than it did on Tuesday night.

Until then, the Jazz — except for Bell — will get together as currently assembled for practice this morning to begin preparing for Saturday's road game against the Los Angeles Clippers.

"This is who we are. We are who we are until something changes," Corbin added. "The guys are responding very well. I really appreciate how they've all handled the situation and we'll expect it to continue."

But, c'mon, that's gotta be hard considering the uncertainty, right?

"It's my job," Jefferson said, reminding reporters he's been involved in many trade rumors in his nine-year career.

"For me, as far as focus, I'm just going to continue to stay focused," he added, "and just do my job, and that's to help lead this team."

NOTES: Foye has hit a 3-pointer in 22 consecutive games for the Jazz. He hit 3 of 6 deep shots Tuesday, marking the 21st time he's had three or more treys in a game this season. … Utah hadn't had seven guys hit double digits in scoring since eight players scored 10 or more in a blowout win over Toronto on Dec. 7. … Utah maintained a lead throughout the entire game for just the third time in 55 games this season.

@BacanaUte "...I get that he is killed on the pick and roll but most bigs are."

Uh, Kanter and Favors both defend the pick and roll like it should be and make Al Jefferson look like a rookie on defense.

No doubt AJ has More..

Why not keep a team together for a couple of years? They get used to each other and can depend on a person to be there when they pass the ball. It take new players time to become adjust to the way the Jazz play. It would seem that everybody has games More..
