@davidjsmith1232 Jonathan Isaac might be a better fit and just became available as well. But Looney would be a decent enforcer to bring in.

@Average_Homeboy After he sits on the bench for a year or two and enters the portal, BYU will have another shot at him.

@redraidertech Sorsby gambled at the following ages - 18, 19, 20, 21 and as a 22-year-old AFTER his transfer to TT. I commend him for finally getting help, but rewarding him with many millions more isn't the solution, just like giving an alcoholic free booze isn't a good idea.

@davidjsmith1232 The Jazz taking Peterson might fuel those rumors - Brown coming here and Peterson going to Boston in return (along with other things to make salaries match) might be enough to get Boston interested. We'll see.

[UT-Jazzman @treyman81]

Peterson is the pick. Will it stick?

[UT-Jazzman @treyman81]

@davidjsmith1232 Golden State for Jimmy Butler and picks, actually makes a ton of sense for the Warriors, and gets the Celtics some cap relief if it doesn't work out.

[UT-Jazzman @treyman81]

@Average_Homeboy If the Jazz threaten to take Boozer, it's to get Memphis or Chicago to trade up.

[UT-Jazzman @treyman81]

@ArtTakesNote Based on what other guys got paid (or are getting paid) next season, Walker's right to feel that 20-25 is a low-ball offer. Jakob Poeltl is going to get $27 and $29 million in 2027-28 and 2028-29, and Walker's far superior to him.

[UT-Jazzman @treyman81]

Who says no to this mock trade?

[UT-Jazzman @treyman81]

@iwasmmueller88 2 - He can clearly look at the market and see that guys like Jokic, Embiid, AD, Adebayo and Towns are clearing $55 million a year, then the next tier is guys like Sabonis ($45 mil), Rudy ($36 mil), and Sengun ($35 mil) and his agent will argue he's worth $28-30 mil a year.

[UT-Jazzman @treyman81]

@iwasmmueller88 He's seeing guys like Jarrett Allen and Jakob Poetl getting $28-29 million and saying "I'm better than them, pay me more." It's normal posturing in a contract negotiation.

@ScarletTortilla Looks like Tech fans have adopted the fringe Ute fans ideas of going to the B1G.

@AndrewDBailey People were saying similar things about LeBron in 2007 and it was too early, just like it is for Wemby.

@TechAthletics @TexasTechFB Translation: Brendan already spent all of the NIL money at DraftKings and so we have no choice but to get him eligible so that our money wasn't wasted in vain.

[UT-Jazzman @treyman81]

@JeffBiesinger B1G isn't all it's cracked up to be. Too big and the mid and lower level teams are just there for the money.

[UT-Jazzman @treyman81]

@jpottingaround The teams need to remind the commissioner that he works for them, not the other way around.

[UT-Jazzman @treyman81]

@pj_schreiner How do you know these guys wouldn't dominate the Spurs and OKC? Played under 1998 rules, with stronger players and no flopping, the Bulls would definitely dominate. Chet and Wemby would be crying about Rodman every time down the court!
