Utah does have some great scenery. Also wonder if the uh "clean living, not much nightlife, not much to actually do" kinda helps the players? Perhaps that's a paternalistic take. I do love the way they've incorporated the Utah landscape colors (and sunlight colors) into the jersey and court design.

The Jason Kidd to Orlando thing...I actually think that job would make a lot of sense for him. Imo he opted out of the Portland sweepstakes because that's the worst possible scenario (team that is already at its ceiling, not much patience for a new coach, GM frantically trying to save his own job by throwing the pervious coach under the bus, the West is brutal for the foreseeable future). In the East, he can try to teach players to play how he wants them to, make the team in his own image. I'm not a huge fan of Kidd as a person but as a basketball fit that could work.
