To the two tweets I sent out earlier of who would start a franchise with Markkanen or Donovan and Kessler or Gobert they were for the #askloj edition of LOCKED ON JAZZ and until you have listened and heard my thoughts you probably shouldn’t react

A return to SLC for @Royce O’Neale 🤍 pic.twitter.com/Zqa7CSFEKT – 8:55 PM

Greetings from Utah. Nets-Jazz tip shortly. I’m expecting a Royce O’Neale tribute tonight. He played his first five seasons with the Jazz before being traded to BK. Nets trying to split a back-to-back before facing the Warriors on Sunday. All hands on deck. – 8:51 PM

Nets playing kyrie tonight on a back to back kind of feels like they are approaching this as one they really want to get. The Jazz are going to get a good shot from Brooklyn tonight – 8:47 PM

Credit to Jacque Vaughn. It’s 30 minutes before the game in Utah. A Jayhawks fan waited for him near the Nets tunnel with a handful of t-shirts. He signed them all for her and then patiently waited as she tried to get the setting right on her camera to take a selfie. Made her night of her. – 8:44 PM

Nets starters tonight at Utah:
Simmons, Irving, Harris, O’Neale and Claxton – 8:33 PM

Ben Simmons is ‘stealing money’ from the Nets with a ‘ski mask and gloves,’ Jalen Rose says nj.com/nets/2023/01/b… – 7:42 PM

Jacque Vaughn was drafted by the Jazz and spent the first four years of his playing career here. Pointed to a scar by his eyebrow he got from a John Stockton elbow. Getting asked a lot of the area changing and the Delta Center name coming back. – 7:39 PM

Jacque Vaughn said both Kessler Edwards and David Duke Jr. came from Long Island as a precaution. Seemed like the Nets were prepared to rest guys, but everyone came out of last night good enough to have everyone available. – 7:37 PM

Will Hardy worked out with Kevin Durant routinely during the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. He helped Durant with his post practice workout. He said he’s never seen someone of Durant’s caliber work so diligently. “Every rep was game speed.” – 7:30 PM

Jazz coach Will Hardy was an intern in San Antonio when Jacque Vaughn was an assistant coach. To this day he still has a notebook of the Spurs offense which Vaughn taught him. – 7:29 PM

Kelly Olynyk began on court work Wednesday then went through portions of practice yesterday, he’s expected to progress from here – 7:12 PM

Kelly Olynyk began on-court Wednesday, and participated in portions of practice yesterday.
He’ll be out at least another week – 7:12 PM

Kelly Olynyk began on-court work on Wednesday, and partially participated in practice yesterday. However, Jazz will ramp him up and he’s not expected to play for the next week. – 7:12 PM

Kelly Olynyk began court work Wednesday. Yesterday he participated in portions of practice. He’ll re-evaluated in another week. – 7:12 PM

The James Harden-Ben Simmons trade is pretty lopsided at this point

Was just catching up on the Thunder. I love Josh Giddey, man. How he uses his eyes, pump-fakes and slight of hand to get defenders moving in the wrong direction.
This pump fake tricks every Nets defender and gets Dort an open 3. pic.twitter.com/drzazFONW5 – 6:37 PM

Kim Ng says Marlins are moving Jazz Chisholm to CF because he is “very unique athlete, very dynamic, great range, great speed. A lot of thing you look for when you’re thinking about center field. We’ve talked about this for a while.” Jazz open to it. Arraez to play 2B. – 5:09 PM

Kim Ng says they see Arraez playing second base “quite a bit”.. So Jazz then to shortstop presumably. Arraez has played most career games at 2B. – 5:05 PM

“Kyrie Irving, without a superstar on his team, he has a below average winning record. … Can you win regular season games for a short period of time as you being the leader and the go-to guy? And right now, the answer is no.”
