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

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

@joewheat27 Non-exclusive list of who should be taking heat based on what we know:
--Sorsby
--Sorsby's family and friends
--Sorby's agents
--Cincinnati
--Texas Tech
There's plenty of heat to go around, lol.
English
This is the correct take if we are being honest with ourselves
On3@On3
NEW: Brendan Sorsby's agent, Ron Slavin, claims Cincinnati knew about the gambling addiction and took no action: “If anybody should be questioned or catching heat, it should be Cincinnati. Because they knew for two years and never said anything or didn’t do anything about it. That’s the part of the story that gets lost.” (via @1053thefan) on3.com/news/brendan-s…

@sadjazzbear This seems to be just him wanting more money and to be treated like a core piece instead of a role player. Not that he doesn't want to be in Utah. I think that's completely different.
English
The worst thing a player on the Jazz can do is say they don’t want to be here. Jazz fans take that so personally, they literally will never forgive or forget
English
@werebearut @CJRealHoops2 “We see it”
“But ______ is actually happy here.”
Someone needs to do a mashup of this magical thinking starting with Gordon’s era.
Walker either wants to be overpaid to stay, or he wants to be gone.
Either way, that’s not someone who is happy there.

@JesusShuttlewor @TronCarterNLU I think the biggest thing hurting Torrey Pines is the utterly bland petri dish design. Magnificent setting, and I am sure they go all out as a host. But it's just not an interesting course for major tournament golf.
English
@TronCarterNLU The people have spoken, Torrey is up there - also remember that players raved about Torrey after both 2008 and 2021 US Opens. Biggest thing hurting Torrey is the fact that outside of tournament months, the course condition/amenities are significantly lower - 2 different realities
English
@SamQuinnCBS Lauri hasn’t played a full season in 4 years. He hasn’t hit 50 games the past 2 years. Some of that is related to tanking. But I’d still prefer to see him play meaningful basketball for 2-3 months before I trade most of my assets for him
English
This is a pretty significant underestimation of Lauri Markkanen imo. You're treating him like he's Denver Michael Porter Jr. Not his fault his team wouldn't let him win games. If you don't want to trade Ausar for him, cool. But he is just way better than you're suggesting.
Ku 🦉@KuKhahil
Pistons trade Ausar Thompson for glorified off ball scorer that can’t play defense and has yet to show 5% of the impact on winning Ausar has in Y3, and I might find a new team to go cover for Locked On
English
@LeanerGreen @CJRealHoops2 I take him at his word. Believe what you want.
English
@mauddweeb Also, what do women think goes on in men's restrooms, lmbo.
English
A bathroom is not a locker room.
I have never seen a dude’s dick in a public restroom. I’ve only ever seen a strangers dong at the YMCA because the geezers like to free-ball there.
I’m much more comfortable taking my daughter into the men’s restroom at Quik-Trip than I am into the women’s restroom.
Rebekah Jones@GeoRebekah
Girl dads: Do not bring little girls into the men's room. We do not want little girls exposed to adult, male genitals. You are welcome to bring your girl(s) into the women's restroom. Just give a knock, say you're a girl dad coming in, and you'll be fine.

The dude goes on a couple dates with Miss America and suddenly he’s too good for $140 million
NBACentral@TheDunkCentral
Walker Kessler has reportedly rejected a five-year, nearly $140 million offer from the Jazz, and his camp is seeking significantly more 😳, per @BannedMacMahon (h/t @davidjsmith1232 )
English
@LeanerGreen @CJRealHoops2 $28M is well above underpaid.
We see it, believe me. That's part of what the OP is talking about. Though it's not to the extent you're making it out to be.
But Walker likes it in Utah. Just wants to be treated by management as a core piece instead of a role player.
English
@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.
English
@CHoltSports 3-5 years is an eternity in the NBA.
But it is a fair point.
English
When Cam Boozer is talked about with the Jazz’s second pick, why does the conversation default to his fit with Lauri and JJJ right now instead of his fit with Keyonte and Ace in 3-5 years?
English
@Josh_Berhow @KylePorterNS "74 yards. In case you were wondering. Oh, and looks like the pin is front right today. I imagine you fellas can't see it from back there."
😂
English
Gary Woodland (right) bombs one past Scheffler and Burns on 14 at Shinnecock. Pointed a rangefinder their way and just pulled out his phone to call them.
English
@LoveHateGS @HoopsDistillery @SamQuinnCBS I should add, bench scorer is probably where Keyonte ends up on a good team, unless he can show last year's gains translate to games his team is trying to win and/or huge gains on the defensive side. So that piece of it isn't the deal-breaker.
English
@LoveHateGS @HoopsDistillery @SamQuinnCBS Fox is a bad contract, and Keyonte cannot play the 2 on a good team. Agree that the frontcourt is crowded if Utah drafts Boozer, and trading Lauri may be the answer. But for Fox? No way.
English
I keep saying there is a pretty straightforward Lauri Markkanen for Ausar Thompson trade to be made here.
Fullcourtpass@Fullcourtpass
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)
English
@LoveHateGS @HoopsDistillery @SamQuinnCBS Lauri for Fox does not make any sense whatsoever for Utah.
English
@HoopsDistillery @SamQuinnCBS Haha facts... As if trading Ausar is even a remote possibility lol
Lauri for Fox does make some amount of sense for both teams (if they draft Boozer over Peterson)
English
@ShaneRyanHere In all seriousness, though, Vibes-Only and Golfpocalypse are the best things in golf media right now. Look forward to them every week/major.
English
@ShaneRyanHere I read it. Still recovering from the Error at Aronimink, so I have to assume that this week's winner will come from among the 147 golfers not listed.
English
If you don't read this I hate you
Shane Ryan@ShaneRyanHere
The vibes guide, only at majors, is all about a gut read on the best players on the field. Only when we divorce ourselves from stats, facts, and reason, can we see the truth. Plus, you will laugh at least 1.5 times. Here's the version for the U.S. Open: golfdigest.com/story/us-open-…
