Franchise history
The Jazz franchise began in New Orleans in 1974, and was relocated to Salt Lake City in 1979. Reached the NBA playoffs for 19 years in a row ending with the 2003-2004 season. Reached the NBA finals twice, only to be beaten by Michael Jordan's Chicago Bulls.

On March 7, 1974, the New Orleans Jazz became the 18th member of the NBA in return for a $6.15-million expansion franchise fee. In a trade with the Atlanta Hawks, the Jazz acquired the flashy 6-5 Maravich as the team's first player. Aaron James was the club's initial selection in the NBA Draft, and the Jazz filled out the roster with veterans plucked from other teams in the 1974 NBA Expansion Draft. The opening lineup included E. C. Coleman, Bud Stallworth, Walt Bellamy, Stu Lantz, and Maravich. The organization hired Scotty Robertson as head coach and named future Hall of Famer Elgin Baylor as one of Robertson's assistants.
