Last night after the game Andy, Tony and Sarah hopped on Twitter Space together and hosted a conversation where Jazz fans could comment and ask questions, etc.

A lot of important nuggets were shared and talked about.

- Jazz offered Conley, Bogey and the least favorable pick of the 2023 picks we had to the Lakers for their 2027 unprotected first plus salary filler before the season started.

We tried tanking from the start of last season and the Lakers are absolutely insane for not taking this vs the deal they ended up taking.

- Clarkson is trade-able and the contract he was given was to make him even more trade-able.

Sounds like Clarkson will be a prime trade candidate when he becomes trade eligible on Dec 15th.

- If you bench THT you torpedo his trade value, he’s upset in the locker room AND on top of it all his agent is Rich Paul.

This one was more of the shocking revelations. We are purely playing THT to not tank his trade value (even though his play is doing that by itself) and it would cause locker room issues plus potential issues down the road with Klutch players.

- There is a chance the Jazz go after LaVine.

It was mentioned this a possibility and we’d have plenty of trade assets after to get a third star.

- Jazz had offers to move Hendricks this summer.

We obviously said no to all of these but no trade details were shared about what was offered. I also am not sure if they meant at the draft or after the draft.

- Lauri, Walker and Keyonte are the three players the Jazz want to keep the most.

It sounds like Keyonte replaced Ochai in the untouchable trio. It was mentioned that Hendricks could be on this list as well.
 
Seems like there were other teams looking seriously at Hardy and Ainge had to offer a generous contract to get him
This would be a disaster on all sides if they fired him
 
A bit off topic, but David Locke is constantly bringing up how disconnected the team is personally. He mentions how no one on the team has a natural person to hang with. Says it's a team of introverts who don't necessarily connect with each other.

That isn't really a surprise. I feel like out of everyone on the team Kessler is the guy with the personality to bring everyone together but that is much easier to do when you are playing well and have confidence. He started the year poorly from the get go with the bad fit with Collins and his elbow injury so he may not have felt confident in playing more of a leadership role at that point.
 
Sounds like coach needs to take the team to Wendover for a special team practice that involves shots of tequila. That will get everyone's mind right.
 
I'd trade everyone on the team but Lauri, Walker, the 3 rookies, and 'MAYBE' Collins.... Although, trading takes time, I WOULD make these changes immediately: bring the 2 rookies back up and start giving them time. I'd bench and/or reduce the playing time of players that just sucked all year long and give the development to the rookies.
