I get the Twitts from other people's posts on this and other sites. You can't even see them when they are posted here? Don't have a Twitter account and never will.

I wanted Exum back for us. He would have fit so well with this team. No idea if you guys have followed his development in Europe but he's become somewhat of a beast. He seems more explosive than ever and more aggressive than ever... kind of looks like what we imagined him being for us. He's been dunking on people the last couple of years... He has like... a dozen poster dunks over the last two years.

And that's not even what's most exciting... look at his shooting splits... he's like 50-40-85 guy nowadays.

I was one of his biggest fans around here, and I will be rooting for his success again. I hope he stays healthy... because he still goes flying into 2nd row with ease on some of those rim attacks.

This is not a problem they are having. This is by design. Their master strategiest Elon Musk decided to limit the number of tweets people can see per day:

-600 for unverified accounts
-300 for new unverified accounts
-6000 for verified accounts.

Would you guys give up a FRP to land Andrew Nembhard as the starting pg going forward. He had a great rookie season, actually starting over Mathurin who was a ROY candidate

Glad to see long-time, assistant Coach Alex Jensen land on his feet with a new job in Dallas. I wonder if the Jazz' ties to Jensen and Lindsey in Dallas will eventually help us complete the upcoming trade for Luka Doncic? :D

Alex Jensen’s coaching career will reportedly continue outside of Utah (In Dallas)
https://www.deseret.com/2023/7/4/23783809/alex-jensens-coaching-career-will-reportedly-continue-outside-of-utah

Snip: "Per ESPN’s Tim MacMahon, the addition of Jensen to the Dallas coaching staff should be seen a major positive for Mavericks rookie center Dereck Lively II, considering Jensen’s (defensive) success with Gobert, and more recently Jazz center Walker Kessler, who was a first-team All-Rookie player this past season."

This could end up being amazing for the Jazz who essentially own the Cav's picks in 2025-2029.

That would be great but I don't think they're trading Mitchell. But they also can't keep all of their top players long-term. Garland, Mitchell and Mobley are the likeliest to stay, imho, with Allen probably being the odd man out. What could be nice is that they trade Allen due to salary reasons and to open up things for Mobley, and then a year later Mitchell leaves for nothing.
