@miiller_tom @CJRealHoops2 In other words, actual knowledgeable sources- not just slobbering fanaticism. I’m not invested in the success of the Jazz one way or another. Their approach to this draft is intriguing. And the depth of delusion in the fanbase is kinda interesting. Other than that? Meh.

@LeanerGreen @CJRealHoops2 In other words, gossip without any real foundation.

Walker Kessler crashing his public image + perception with the Utah Jazz fanbase in the space of 48 hours was not something I expected to see the week before draft day. If he does come back, he's going to have to be very good to get back in the good graces

@miiller_tom @CJRealHoops2 I do know the league tho - and a good many people in it. There’s a pretty strong consensus that a few UTA players want out. WK turning down a market rate deal? Coming off an injury?? The fact pattern suggests that he is one of them.

@LeanerGreen @CJRealHoops2 And your take it as ungrounded as you say the Jazz fans are. You don’t actually KNOW anything about this negotiation.

Messi is the only reason he’s still playing football he knows if he retires before Messi, Messi will take the only record he has 1000 goals, Messi will always be better than him. The quicker he accepts it the better for his finished career”

@ZekeDaFreak21 @nbarealist23 Brunson has 2 Conf Finals, a ring and a Finals MVP. So he’s 1 ECF trip away from tying Nash’s best team achievement; and Nash will never be a champion. You can say you like Nash better. That’s fine. You just can’t fool anyone who values winning and knows the game.

@LeanerGreen @nbarealist23 Not getting there isnt solely 1 players fault, it takes a team. I’ve stayed consistent on that. I also added context of the WCF trips It does mean something but not enough to where 1 ring blocks out the production of 2 MVPs, 3 first teams, & 5 ast leader seasons. Its not enough

I need to think about this one. This is pushing ring culture to its limits. Brunson has 1 Alpha Ring, 1 FMVP, 0 MVPs, 3 All-NBA, 3 All-Star. His resume is similar to Chauncey Billups. Every other guy on this list, other than Sam Jones, has at least 6 All-NBA selections and 6 All-Star selections. Nash and Harden also have MVPs to their name. So, how much is one alpha-dog ring worth?

@iamthebyson @the_dough_boy23 @ArtTakesNote You’re not considering all possible scenarios. There are a lot of contracts that will be on the move this week. The public nature of this suggests he might want to be one. So far, this week is not helping Danny’s leverage.

@LeanerGreen @the_dough_boy23 @ArtTakesNote You’re focused on something that doesn’t really matter here. He has no leverage in this situation. He’s either going to get an offer sheet from someone for $30m+, or he’s going to have to sign with Utah. If a team ponies up north of $30m then I wish them luck and wish him well.

Walker Kessler’s camp was not thrilled that he didn’t end up getting sent to the Indiana Pacers at the trade deadline for a package very similar to what the Los Angeles Clippers got for Ivica Zubac per Tim MacMahon via the Hoop Collective Podcast.

@ZekeDaFreak21 @nbarealist23 That’s not the sole reason. It’s just the only one you can comprehend. Again: winning and being the best player on a title team man something. Never even getting there means something too.

@LeanerGreen @nbarealist23 Ur argument is JB’s better cuz he has 1 ring and Nash doesnt Rings are a team accomplishment but u use it to rank JB higher than someone (Nash) who actually has more individual accolades Based on ur logic, Tony Parker is better than both cuz he has a FMVP & more titles Cmon

@hansenjames The honesty is refreshing.

If the Jazz pick Boozer, I'll talk myself into and root for him hard and probably fight everyone, that's what I do. But I just really want AJ or DP, I have a hard time believing the Jazz would turn one of them down if they're on the board

Please keep Saveion McConnell’s name on your mind. Saveion was an unarmed 19 year old murdered by Lafeyette County Sherrif’s Deputy outside of KC. His family is distraught at how little media coverage that his death has gotten. Saveion was loved, he deserved to live a full life.

Former President Joe Biden will also be in attendance for the opening of the Obama Presidential Center along with former presidents Clinton and Bush. President Trump will not attend.

Zohran Mamdani spoke at a Rikers Island graduation ceremony honoring 57 incarcerated people who earned their high school diplomas. One graduate, Elijah Smith, said he didn’t expect the mayor to show up, but his presence meant something: “It helped. Someone cares about the incarcerated individuals in this jail.” Sometimes dignity starts with simply showing up.

@kirkmckee13 @werebearut @CJRealHoops2 Walker is taking a hard line. For this to even become public suggests he wants out. It may not be LA, but someone is gonna target him. Better to deal him than to bring him back on an expiring or a deal he hates.

@LeanerGreen @werebearut @CJRealHoops2 Lol the Lakers and Walker have no leverage here

@werebearut @CJRealHoops2 Lmfao. You all really love being Charlie Brown with the football. It’s adorable.

@LeanerGreen @CJRealHoops2 You're so lame, buddy. Walker's own words. Keep dreaming though.

@ZekeDaFreak21 @nbarealist23 You’re just clownish at this point. Are you that desperate to cling to a losing argument that you have to pretend a top 8 MVP candidate wasn’t in his prime?? You really are lost.

@LeanerGreen @nbarealist23 Top8 in mvp means he was in his prime? It. Takes. A. Team. To. Make. The. Finals Nothing u said prove JB is better than Nash JB didnt play Duncan’s Spurs, Kobe’s Lakers, or Dirk’s Mavs to get out the east Ur arguments have weak points all over, learn ball. Context ≠ excuses

@werebearut @CJRealHoops2 I know you all have some….strange beliefs out that way….just didn’t think you also believed in the Tooth Fairy. Whatever helps you all sleep at night.

@LeanerGreen @CJRealHoops2 💀💀💀

@kirkmckee13 @werebearut @CJRealHoops2 Don’t be so sure. They’ve made more difficult deals happen. If Kessler wants out, it’d be smarter to just do the deal than to bring him back disgruntled.

@LeanerGreen @werebearut @CJRealHoops2 Lol too bad the Lakers don't have that option

@ZekeDaFreak21 @nbarealist23 You’re slow. Dirk was top 8 in MVP voting when he was with Nash. Nash also had 5 seasons of All-Star Amare. Nash. Never. Made. The. Finals. Your excuses are as bad as your reading comprehension.

@LeanerGreen @nbarealist23 This is like saying Brunson had Prime Luka & didnt win in Dallas. It’s ridiculous Wym Brunson always gets it done? Brunson has 1 ring & had one of the most ideal rosters for a high volume scoring small guard Lost to Pacers b2b playoffs, is that getting it done? Nash better

She should have WAY more follows.

@Dunzod Wrong team. All the Jazz have been doing is playing poker with WAS. The whole hoops world knows they are desperate to get AJ. Maybe the deal gets done on draft night. Maybe sooner. That has always been their play.

It's pretty slick for the Jazz' front office to lock in on Peterson but then leak that they're looking at Boozer too, so the analytically driven Grizzlies, who undoubtedly favor Boozer over everyone, have to think about offering something to move up for him. #Chessnotcheckers
