Summary

In part 1 of this Twitter mailbag, we answer listener questions on the Western Conference teams, starting with Utah and wrapping up with Minnesota. Timestamps: Utah and the idea of a 2-for-1 trade to raise their playoff ceiling (0:00), the Spurs and what they can achieve later in the season (7:50), where Sacramento (13:15) and Portland (24:33) go from here after coaching and front office changes respectively, Phoenix and what they could look to add to help them make another deep playoff run (34:56), OKC and their long-term vision (42:33), the Pels and their play-in chances (48:45), and the Wolves and their improved defense (57:23).

0:00.0	I welcome onto the return of one Daniel LaRue and we got to get into this 15 and 60
0:06.0	mail by I got a ton of great questions here and let's begin with the Utah Jazz.
0:10.9	They won today, I watched their game against Cleveland.
0:14.8	The Jazz have now moved to 16 and 7 with that when they gave up a big run in the 4th to
0:22.3	let the Cavs get within striking distance.
0:24.8	Cavs even took a leader and Rudy Gobert was unbelievable ending the game for the Jazz.
0:31.2	He probably had 5 or 6 sequences where he just put a lid on the room.
0:35.1	There was one where the Cavs actually ended up scoring on a Garland floater in which Gobert,

1:09.9	Mitchell is down, complaining of the referees behind the play.
1:12.9	They have a 5 on 4 down one with 20 seconds left and Rubio and Jimmy Bickerstaf both call time out
1:18.5	Mitchell not even in the screen and then they end up getting a Garland step back 30 footer
