We have a real shot at bringing @MLB to the Beehive State.
Utah has the momentum, the vision, and leaders like the Miller family helping rally support behind a team Utah can call its own.

First it was Wizards fans. Then Nets fans. Now Bulls fans have entered the chat with absolute delusion 😭 Utah isn’t letting Walker Kessler go, and Daryl Peterson is not sliding to #4. Let’s be serious. #takenote#bulls
@WizardsLead Service announcement to all Wizards fans: the Utah Jazz are not trading Ace Bailey. The talent gap between picks 1 and 2 is not significant enough to justify moving up, and these trade proposals are getting wild. It’s not happening.
@iwasmmueller88@colby_colonel The talent gap between picks 1, 2, and even 3 in this draft isn’t some massive cliff. Sure, everyone can argue floor vs. ceiling, but blowing up the roster just to move up one spot feels absolutely wild.
@iwasmmueller88@colby_colonel I have no idea where people are getting these trade ideas. Ace Bailey is insanely talented, so why are people acting like the Jazz are ready to move on from him?
NBA league personnel believes it would cost the Jazz the following to acquire the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft, per @BrettSiegelNBA
- No. 2 pick
- Unprotected future 1st
- Ace Bailey
@DLocke09 If the Jazz draft AJ, does that force the Jazz’s hand to move on from either Cody Williams or Filipowski? If we’d have AJ, Ace, Lauri Markkanen, Filipowski, Cody Williams, and JJJ, that’s a pretty crowded forward/wing/ power forward rotation.
In the past year, the Jazz will have added three core pieces to vault them to immediate playoff contender status in 2026-27:
Jaren Jackson Jr.
Ace Bailey
Darryn Peterson
The aggressive JJJ trade along with landing lottery luck today has changed their long-term view immediately.
#JazzNation, friendly reminder that Darryn Peterson was the clear #1 pick in pre-college mocks. 😳
He has some serious potential, and guard was a huge positional need for the Jazz. He is the ideal selection.
If your first thought after leaving a classified briefing is to record a video about it to post on twitter, you should not be invited to any more classified briefings
Angry gambling companies reportedly played a part in Adam Silver punishing teams for tanking, per @BenGolliver
“Over-unders are at stake. You know, player props are at stake. If coaches are just willy-nilly not playing guys the entire game, and they’re not letting people know in advance that they plan to do that, you’re going to have a lot of angry gamblers and a lot of angry gambling companies as well.”
