@iamthebyson @ArtTakesNote Which begs the question: Why?? The clear and simple answer is that he wants out. His camp isn’t overplaying their hand. They’re signaling to the market: “come get me!”

@LeanerGreen @ArtTakesNote If there’s a market for him that’s more lucrative than what he’s already been offered by Utah, then he should have no issue getting out. I don’t think there’s a big lineup of teams anxious to pay Walker $30m+. His camp is overplaying their hand imo.

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.

@crisbottlsender @Fullcourtpass @BannedMacMahon @ArtTakesNote Ok. 55 wins is a lot. But you won’t better than OKC, SAS and probably a couple other teams out West. Boozer is high floor, low ceiling. That construction is a bridge to nowhere.

@LeanerGreen @Fullcourtpass @BannedMacMahon @ArtTakesNote That’s where you’re wrong. That front court would win hella regular season games. Playoffs is where they would get exposed

The Utah Jazz are looking at Cam Boozer hard with the 2nd pick due to him being a great complimentary fit next to Jaren Jackson Jr, per @BannedMacMahon (h/t @ArtTakesNote)

🚨 Senegal captain Kalidou Koulibaly speaking facts: "Africans can’t have their people" at the World Cup because of US travel bans. Every other team gets their fans. But Global South teams like Senegal get blocked while the West lectures everyone about "inclusion" and "human rights". This is the same empire that bombs, exploits, and restricts — then cries when others resist. Football should unite people, not separate them with racist visa policies and double standards. Stand with Koulibaly. Stand with the fans. Stand with the Global South. No bows. Just raw truth. 💪🏿🇸🇳

@ZekeDaFreak21 @nbarealist23 You struggle with reading comprehension and pattern recognition. JB has a 10 year pattern of winning and elite play. Nash’s career was just great stats and mediocre results. Winning and leading are part of greatness - not just stats. Nash is wanting in both categories.

@LeanerGreen @nbarealist23 Ur using college accomplishments in a nba debate and ur saying Im struggling with comprehension All those things are accomplished as a team outside of FMVP Ur goin in the circles about the same thing without really addressing much

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?

@CJRealHoops2 Lmao. He doesn’t want to be underpaid and he sees an opportunity to get to LA, ATL or CHI. It’s so odd how blind UTA fans are to the reality that most NBA players would prefer to play somewhere else.

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

Capitalism turned 2Pac into a brand. His image is celebrated everywhere, while his Black Panther roots and critiques of racism, poverty, and inequality are rarely discussed.

@EricSal_7 This is ridiculous. This isn’t 90s college basketball. A $50M/yr player isn’t coming off the bench. Fox will likely be traded.

Spurs are going to win 60+ games again next year and have a better/deeper roster going into the playoffs. If they can avoid the injury bug, they could easily find their way to the Finals again. That will be with Fox just like it was this past year. Even if his role is lessened marginally, he will still be a part of a winning equation. I expect Fox to put in a lot of work this summer and come back even better than he’s been the past 2 years. There is no way a player with his success doesn’t use this as fuel. If Spurs decide he comes off the bench, I expect him to still be a very important piece — playing 25-28 mpg and be in every 6th man conversation. If Fox starts again, I expect the same from Dylan except maybe 30-32 mpg off the bench. Starting the 3 guards is not the answer for so many reasons. That won’t be it. Regardless. Spurs are not impatient. Spurs are not stupid. They are not about to attach picks to trade a guy. They wont trade a player whose value is at the lowest it will ever be. Especially a player who was an important piece to get to 60+ wins. He will be here and Spurs will win a lot of games which will silence trade talks — Spurs won’t make a huge trade in the middle of the season if they are winning a lot of games. If Harper does start and propels imto All-Star territory alongside Castle, and Fox shifts to a bench role, the Spurs will be in a much stronger position to trade him next summer — if it becomes known by season’s end that Rich/Fox wants a bigger role elsewhere. His value will be up and other teams will look at his remaining 3 years on his contract as if they have a team option after the 27/28 season due to the expansion draft out. His contract won’t be an issue because of this. Now if Fox buys into the lessened role, a trade may not even be needed in the summer of 27. Time will tell, but right now as we head into this offseason Fox is still valued and he’s still a part of this winning equation. We should all be rooting for him this summer to come back a better/smarter player in every phase on and off ball.

Samuel L. Jackson has long said his favorite movie he’s starred in is the 1996 action-thriller 'The Long Kiss Goodnight.' Turns out his co-star Geena Davis feels likewise. “It’s my favorite too,” Davis tells Deadline. “I’m supposed to say Thelma & Louise because that movie is irreplaceable, but I have to say, I had so much fun with Sam and we’ve always wished that we could do a sequel” More details here: deadline.com/2026/06/geena-…

🚨 Justin Hunte criticizes Jay-Z’s partnership with Target Hunte argues that Jay-Z has repeatedly aligned himself with major Black social causes, only to later do business with institutions many activists were criticizing. Referencing past controversies involving Occupy Wall Street, Colin Kaepernick and the NFL, Hunte says the Target partnership is causing some people to question where Jay-Z ultimately draws the line between activism and business. “He positions himself as a beacon of success for the Black community.”

Almost like it's not faith forward at all Kyle... You're so close

@jakemmccleary Huge egos…lol. There are 30 NBA markets. Many NBA players would rank UTA 30th in their personal preference of where to live and work. Kessler knows there a chance he could wind up in LA or ATL or CHI. Not a hard choice all things being equal.

Kind of tired of Utah developing players into stars and then they go and get huge egos 😂

Despite spending time in Belgium and later France under quarantine and medical screening measures to ensure they had not contracted Ebola, not a single DR Congo supporter traveling from Kinshasa was granted a U.S. visa for the World Cup. Among them was Michel Nkuka Mboladinga, better known as “Lumumba,” an iconic Leopards supporter who became one of the most recognizable faces of AFCON 2025. Since the start of this tournament, we have been witnessing clear bias against African countries embedded in visa and immigration systems.

@TheDunkCentral @BannedMacMahon @ArtTakesNote @Fullcourtpass Translation: Ainge continues to bluff like they aren’t desperate to get AJ and will pay for the pick.

The Utah Jazz are strongly considering Cam Boozer with the No. 2 pick, viewing him as an ideal complementary fit alongside Jaren Jackson Jr., per @BannedMacMahon (h/t @ArtTakesNote & @Fullcourtpass )

A Black girl killed over orange juice, a Black boy killed over bottled water, a Black baby killed over diapers. This is America

She really didn't - she asked him a question - he took it as being called racist, then she corrected him and he acknowledged with "I misinterpreted your question" - now he's acting all tuff now that she's not across from him. This is not what happened. But he is racist

Eleven years ago today, nine Black worshippers were murdered during Bible study at Mother Emanuel A.M.E. Church in Charleston. Rev. Clementa C. Pinckney. Cynthia Hurd. Susie Jackson. Ethel Lance. Rev. Depayne Middleton-Doctor. Tywanza Sanders. Rev. Daniel Simmons Sr. Rev. Sharonda Coleman-Singleton. Myra Thompson. We say their names and remember the sacredness of their lives. This was not only a mass shooting. It was a heinous act of white supremacy carried out in a house of worship. We must tell the truth about that hatred, grieve what it stole, and remain committed to dismantling the violence of racism in every form. #MotherEmanuel #SayTheirNames

@SleeperJazz @fiend4sports @paradiseTacoma @GrantAfseth Here’s a simple one: You have Lauri, JJJ and Kessler….so what exactly is the plan if you draft Boozer…or AJ??

@fiend4sports @paradiseTacoma @LeanerGreen @GrantAfseth Where do you believe there is a lack of fit in our roster?

Let me get this straight... Darryn Peterson does NOT want to play in Utah (per: @GrantAfseth). So the Wizards take AJ Dybantsa, leaving Peterson to the Jazz at 2... whom he'll duck so he can land in *checks notes* Memphis?? Where he has no reported workout either. Make it make sense. But here's the thing: If Washington takes DP, the Jazz get the guy they wanted anyway in AJ Dybantsa. The biggest star this franchise has probably ever had. And if that also fails? The fallback is Cam Boozer. National Player of the Year. A winner at every level. Son of Jazz legend Carlos Boozer. No team in the NBA is better positioned than the Utah Jazz. #TakeNote | #JazzNation

@ZekeDaFreak21 @nbarealist23 You struggle to read with comprehension. Try sounding out the words. As for JB’s track record: • 🏆 2016 • 🏆 2018 • ECF 2025 • 🏆 2026 + Finals MVP How many players have ever done that? Your weird inability to understand that winning matters is getting sad.

@LeanerGreen @nbarealist23 JB style as a guard wouldn’t have, he’s not the passer Nash was Calling Nash mediocre is just silly. And what track record?. Cuz it can’t be 10 in the NBA, Brunson started off as a role player?
