I talk about NBA/Utah Jazz and Tabletop Gaming. If you follow me for one thing and my tweet seems weird, then I’m probably talking about the other thing.

@TripDynasty Define “Earning it”.
Like, what if DP is just super impressive in training camp. And you don’t get to see it. But he shows he deserves that spot. Does that count?
Or do you have to make him come off the bench first for no reason just so he can “earn it”.
English
If I’m Ace, and I get benched without the other player earning the job… I’m asking for a trade.

After starting 61 of 72 games last season, Ace Bailey is likely to come off the bench for the Jazz next season, per @Tjonesonthenba “Utah and its fans can finally start putting together what their team is going to look like. The frontcourt, led by Lauri Markkanen and Jaren Jackson Jr., is athletic and deep. The bench, which will likely be led by Ace Bailey and Isaiah Collier, is ready to add depth to the group overall.” (Via nytimes.com/athletic/73884…)

@getsit Personally I hope he picks one of the following:
1
4
7
9
English
The Jazz already having 37 retired numbers helps narrow it down though

The anticipation of knowing what number Darryn picks is killing me

@jdt_91 I get wanting talent. But I just don’t think Kessler for Jaylen is it.
You could try Keyonte for Jaylen if you like that better.
English
@jdt_91 I dunno man. Jazz need more spacing, not less. And it doesn’t fit goals, roster, or cap space.
Jaylen is older than Lauri. People would immediately want to trade him for not fitting the timeline. Especially if you still have to take time to make additional moves after.
English
@purplemtnpeak Disagree that JJJ is more of a center than KAT.
KAT primarily plays center. JJJ is not a center.
Kessler is a pretty important part of the team and provides things that no one else does. Definitely deserves to get paid. If Jazz can get a fair deal worked out for him.
English
@JakePenrod The Knicks beat the spurs by basically hardly ever putting a center on him. JJJ is more of a center than Kat.
I wouldn’t do the trade fwiw but it makes sense not wanting to pay Kessler
English
So Jaylen Brown for Kessler + is actually a legit thing that’s being rumored and talked about
Idk how I feel about that tbh

The Boston Celtics are reportedly looking for a big man and are willing to trade Jaylen Brown to acquire one, per @SIChrisMannix “Boston continued to discuss Brown trades on Tuesday, two sources familiar with the talks tell Sports Illustrated. Many of the conversations were initiated by rival teams, sources say. Some were brokered by the Celtics. ‘They are hunting a big man,’ says a rival executive. ‘And they are willing to trade [Brown] to get it.’” (Via si.com/nba/chris-mann…)

@danclayt0n I also think the “having 6 players for 5 spots” problem just fixes itself. After a while, it will be clearer that one of those players makes more sense as a 6th man off the bench. And then it’s fine.
English
The Jazz don't need to trade any of the six. Great teams have more than 5 awesome players + it might be a minute before Ace/DP are winning players in the macro sense (although both will be super fun).
Relax. This is what they've been building, it's not a problem to be fixed.

My litmus test for whether you know ball is if your take on whether the Jazz should keep or trade Lauri. Stop. Talking. About. Lauri. Trades. He’s damn near perfect for this team.
English
@chriscapguy @Mac_The_Jazz How are there cap issues now?
There are just fine for this season.
English
@JakePenrod @Mac_The_Jazz there is cap issues now and its going to get worse next season
English
@JazzHighNotes2 There are a lot of ways this problem fixes itself too.
Like maybe Keyonte regresses on shooting and defense and suddenly he’s just sixth man off the bench.
Cool, don’t have to worry about a big payday for him and starters are just DP/Ace/Lauri/JJJ/Walker.
That’s not impossible.
English
@JazzHighNotes2 I think You’re right.. just a little early. Not problem yet.
In a couple years, it will be clearer what the best solution to the situation is.
Who to trade, who is bench, ect..
English
@TuskedUp @Mac_The_Jazz It would be wild if Ace is better than Lauri within the next couple years.
Pretty unlikely, but yes, if it happens, great!
English
@Mac_The_Jazz I agree… this year. But I think it is a real discussion next summer if Ace really pops
English
@Mac_The_Jazz Lauri’s game fits this team and the offense Hardy wants to play almost perfectly.
English
@andyblarsen Firearms cause more than double the fires that fireworks do.
More than 95% of human caused fires are from things besides fireworks.
I’m all for lowering fires, but government focusing so much on fireworks instead of the real bigger causes is wild.
English
With all of the wildfires sprouting up around Utah, I looked at how many wildfires are caused by humans compared to natural causes. Also, are more due to campfires or fireworks, or something else?

English
@jazzbeargryllz @dennybradk I think it’s debatable that Collier is better offensively.
English
@dennybradk More well rounded, sure
But Cody is much better defensively
And Collier is much better offensively
English

To all my friends, I’d like to humbly announce that I have a new best friend. No matter who you are, you’re in second place at best.
English
@KesslerWRLD @JeffBiesinger What? Jealous!
I guess I gotta up my pro-Kessler propaganda even more.
English
@JazzHighNotes2 This is a real “lobster too buttery” situation.
“Oh no, Jazz have incredible depth”. We should be happy about it while it lasts.
And Ace is awesome, but the only way he doesn’t come off the bench is if Keyonte does instead.
English
@KatoParinaSLC That does make it a little better!
At least all of those players are still in the NBA.
English
@JakePenrod Well our actual lineup that year was Conley, Clarkson, Lauri, Vando and Kelly Olynyk if that makes it any better
English
This was the Jazz starting lineup 3 years ago.
