For the third straight year, the Jazz made the playoffs, but as the number 8 seed. The Jazz were quickly knocked out of the playoffs with a defeat to the Los Angeles Lakers in the opening round, losing in five games, and having their season ended by the Lakers for a second consecutive time. The Lakers would go on to win their 15th NBA Championship in the NBA Finals, defeating the Orlando Magic in five games. Key dates 2008: June 26: The 2008 NBA draft took place in New York City. July 1: The free agency period started. 2009: February 19: The NBA trade deadline was 3:00 pm EST. February 20: Jazz owner Larry H. Miller, who purchased a 50% interest in the Jazz in 1985 and acquired the remaining 50% a year later, dies from complications of type 2 diabetes. February 21: To honor Larry H. Miller's death, the Jazz won a game a day after Larry's death by defeating the New Orleans Hornets 102–88. Offseason Besides the draft, the only significant move that the Jazz made in the offseason was to trade third-string point guard Jason Hart to the Los Angeles Clippers in exchange for veteran journeyman point guard Brevin Knight on July 23.
