Yesterday, my 15 year old daughter told me she loves me for the first time. Using this communication device she can look at what she wants to say and it vocalizes it. Years of wondering what she's thinking and the first thing she says to me is "I love you" ❤️

@AOC
Thanks for saying this! I'm a first time D voter and a never Trumper. I think we need to all come together and appreciate those to come across the aisle to fight the danger of Trump.
@MarenMorris
I'm old enough to remember The Chicks career being ruined over simply publicly disagreeing with Bush and the Iraq war. It's ridiculous he gets a pass at being so blatantly racist.
I don't understand Jazz fans who think we should trade Lauri. He's a 7 ft. sniper just entering his prime. We have plenty of picks and don't need more in order to build our team.
You don't trade a young all-star when the cupboards are full. You keep building around him.
Today on
@Unsalvageables
Sarah mentioned something about Keyonte. He studies film of Mike Conley particularly how Mike would get the ball to Lauri. This is exactly what a point guard should be doing!
I am VERY pro keep Lauri. I also don't think the Warriors have anyone to offer that would entice the Jazz. Danny wants picks and a potential star. None of their young guys are that.
I just started following Jazz twitter this season and I have really enjoyed the community. I would like to expand my Jazz twitter followers. If you could give me a follow or retweet and share I'd appreciate it. Need more Jazz fan content on my page. ❤️

Just listened to The Bill Simmons podcast and he made great points on the Jazz.
-Will Hardy should be coach of the year. He's a genius.
- Thinks DA will use a contract(s) and a couple picks to get an impact player.
Lauri Markkanen wants to remain in Salt Lake City despite the circumstances, per
@TheSteinLine
“And despite the fact that the seven footer Finn by all accounts wants to stay in Salt Lake City”

The Jazz and Pistons are expected to pursue Miles Bridges in free agency, per
@MikeAScotto
().
The Hornets want to re-sign Bridges following a career-best season averaging 21 points per game, but there will be other suitors.
@gawbaey
The NBA is so bad at promoting it's own product. You don't talk down cities that have an NBA team. Promoting all teams should be the easiest part of advertising the league.
I heard on Bill Simmons podcast when he was talking about Danny Ainge that Danny tends to stick with consensus top guys coming out of high school. Makes sense with tonight's draft getting 2 of the top 4 high school recruits.
Ok just lost a lot of respect for Doc Rivers. He excused Draymond choking Rudy because Rudy grabbed Klay to break up the fight. That's stupid. Draymond's behavior is inexcusable.
My son made me so proud today. He stood up to a group of boys harassing a girl with homophobic slurs. The girl was in tears and he stepped up and told them to leave her alone. The boys jumped him for it but he's doing okay now. I'm just so so proud of him.
I don't like to post politics so every now and then I will simply repost this. I am going to vote Biden/Harris because they have not tried to overthrow the govt. I feel like women's reproductive rights are the most important thing in our country right now.
My 12 yr old son wanted a Meta Quest for Christmas. He was excited for himself but he also wanted his sister to be able to play with it. She can do so little and watching TV is hard due to vision issues. But this was something that worked and she seemed to love it. My kids...❤️

Com' on dude. The culture of Utah has evolved.. This is not the Utah of a hundred years ago or even ten years ago. We need to open up fun for people who don't abide by the rules of a particular religion. The disrespect is to expect all of Utah to abide by one culture.
The Pelicans are open to moving Herb Jones, per
@HPbasketball
“The Pelicans are thought to be open to moving Herbert Jones. They're high on Jones, but it'll be difficult for the team to pay their stars, Jones and Trey Murphy III.”

Some heady praise from 11-year NBA veteran Rudy Gobert about the Wolves’ vibes right now: “I’ve never been part of a group that understands each other, that cares about each other and wants to see each other shine. In this league, it’s not something that you find very often.”
For those in the trade Lauri mindset I highly recommend listening to Tony's interview today. There's no realistic scenario where the Jazz trade Lauri. The plan is to build around him.
@sltrib
They didn't even speak with the journalist. He had 12,000 pages of information including statements from both sides as well as KM lawyers. This is the guy that uncovered the Catholic abuse scandal. Yeah I'll trust his work and the victims over a church that chose to do nothing.
I love what we saw from Taylor last night. He has legit NBA talent. It was impressive to hear Keyonte talking about watching film on Taylor so he can be prepared to play with him for a long time. I'm excited for the future of the Jazz.
Utah Jazz rookie Taylor Hendricks gets an opportunity and flashes his intriguing potential. The forward was called up from his G League assignment to help out the short-handed Jazz, and while he had an up-and-down night, his defense proved impressive.
I'm looking for 3 tickets to Jazz Lakers tonight. After a long hospital stay with his sister we want to take my son to see his first Jazz game of the season! Please retweet or ask around!
I'm really excited for sports in Utah right now.
-Jazz are shopping
-NHL otw
-BYU elite coaching hire
-Pili top 10 in the WNBA draft
-USU epic bball season
-Utah & BYU in Big12
Now let's all just try to get along during football season. 😅
I'm requesting if the Jazz trade Lauri an emergency Twitter circle (or whatever it's called now) from our beat writers. Therapy session for the compete crowd.
Jazz fans going to the game tonight, will you please boo Miles Bridges loudly everytime he touches the ball? Extra loud for those of us at home. Think of all the females in your life as you let the boos rain. 🙏
#TakeNote
I know this isn't a popular opinion but I actually miss having Malik Beasley on the Jazz. Having a threat from the outside really opened up the offense
@spidadmitchell
You got my support
@spidadmitchell
. I see the kneel as a beautiful way to protest. The image always brings to mind prayer. A prayer for our nation to listen to each other and respect our fellow Americans.
ESPN Sources with
@TimBontemps
: The Sacramento Kings are agreed on a sign-and-trade that will land DeMar DeRozan on a three-year deal, send Harrison Barnes to the San Antonio Spurs and Chris Duarte, two second-round picks and cash to the Chicago Bulls.
@religiongal
Welp I see no signs of what Jesus would do. They care about the institution of the church but not the members. The "repentance" of an admitted pedophile was more important than those children, including an infant, being protected. They sent him home to rape again and again.
@canishoopus
Most of us have the Wolves as our second favorite team right now. Rudy's number will hang in the rafters one day, Mike is beloved, and NAW is the one that got away.
The Kings, Mavericks and Pistons have shown exploratory trade interest in Miles Bridges, per
@MattMooreTAN
().
The Hornets are open to moving Bridges ahead of the deadline.
@BensHoops
@utahjazz
Yep. Too much JC, Collins, and Ochai. Not enough Kessler, Sexton, and Dunn. They should have won the game. This loss is on Coach Hardy.
@spidadmitchell
@mconley11
It's hard to recognize him without the sleeves. This Jazz fan is so happy for your record breaking night. Keep doing great things Spida!
If the Jazz don't trade Dunn, I feel really good about being able to re-sign him this summer. I don't think Danny lets an asset walk and he's an asset at this point.
Just In: The Golden State Warriors are in serious talks on a sign-and-trade deal to acquire Buddy Hield, league sources tell
@TheAthletic
@Stadium
. Warriors and 76ers have been in deep discussions, working to finalize the deal for one of the NBA's best three-point shooters.
When I saw the Jazz playing at SLC summer league I was very impressed with the presence of Keyonte. He was the last guy to leave. He signed autographs, gave fans towels, and took pics. He seems to really love being here.
One of the little known but best things children's hospitals can do for kids is have a music therapy program. Brinley gets serenaded Taylor Swift songs and it brings a smile to her face so fast.
Listening to Sarah Todd's interview with Spence Checketts on Friday, and she mentions a couple of guys the Jazz have really liked.
Kyshawn George
Reed Sheppard
Also mentioned was Cody Williams and possibly falling out of favor, Ron Holland.
@ArtTakesNote
Reed is possible.
I think Minnesota and possibly Boston are good examples of how you don't necessarily need a top 5 guy to compete. Ant is not top 5 yet and Tatum is probably in the 6-7 range. Both teams have a top 10 guy, top 25 guy, and balanced roster. That's what the Jazz need to build.
Must listen. I got slightly teary eyed walking by dog and listening to Sarah promise that if Bridges joined this team she would hold ownership and the FO's feet to the fire. Thank you
@DadShammdad
and
@NBASarah
for speaking our feelings on the grossness of that guy in Charlotte.
NEW FREE EPISODE
We're back talking about the big man revolution, the state of the Jazz, and trade rumors -- including Miles Bridges, which sucks, bc he sucks.
We also talk about Walker and Ochai, who don't suck.
@JonKrawczynski
Jazz fan popping in to say the Wolves are going to be VERY good next year. A summer where Conley and Gobert can gel with the team more. You guys are going to be tough!
How about we drop these outdated laws and restrictions on alcohol sales? Other states and countries have been and wine sections in grocery stores. You can't even order alcohol delivery through the mail here. Time for change.
Yearly revenue from alcohol sales has surged by more than $200 million compared to a decade ago and is "one of the largest revenue generators in state government."
@bmullahy2news
I'm excited to be able to cheer for Rudy, Mike, and NAW this year. No draft pick on the line. Happy for our former Jazmen. Wolves were my preseason pick to play Denver in the Western Conference Finals.
OKC fans trying to make fake trades around Giddey like he's not tainted goods right now is funny as hell. It's like they don't even notice he's being booed on every court outside of OKC. No one wants Giddey.
This is the era where I graduated from college, settled in Utah, and became a Jazz fan. Watching DWill, Boozer, AK, Memo made me recapture my love for the NBA.

@GovCox
It's fear mongering. There is no actual data to show this happens. Where you do need to worry about your daughter is with family, friends, and church congregations. That's where grooming and abuse is actually shown to happen.
A few thoughts after the dogs hit performance.
-Locking up Lauri long-term is top priority
-Need a better combo guard to help Keyonte (not JC)
-Kessler and Ochai should improve with guard upgrade
-Collins has been less than I hoped for
-Taylor needs minutes
