Awards and records

During the season, Andrei Kirilenko was named FIBA Europe Player of the Year as the top European player in 2007. Unlike NBA awards, which are presented at the end of the season, Europe's major continent-wide player awards are presented at the end of a calendar year, and consider players' performances for both their clubs and national teams.

Transactions

The Jazz have been involved in the following transactions during the 2007–08 season.

Trades

On December 29, 2007 the Utah Jazz announced that they would trade Gordan Giricek and a first round draft pick (through 2009–2014 pick) to the Philadelphia 76ers for Kyle Korver.

Before this trade the Jazz team lacked an outside shooter that they could count on during clutch times. Located in the western conference, Utah Jazz knew they had to make a blockbuster trade since top teams like Dallas Mavericks and Phoenix Suns were making their own big time trades.

After the trade Jazz had an up tempo team which led them to long winning streaks along with moving up the western conference standings. As a result, the Jazz had virtually clinched a spot in for the playoffs, the question now was which spot they would clinch.
