Former NBA guard Vernon Maxwell, most known for winning back-to-back titles with the Houston Rockets in the 1990s, has also made a name for himself on Twitter with his constant trolling of the Utah Jazz and their fans. After this latest playoff debacle involving the Jazz, you can bet Maxwell was on fire.
In addition to some admittedly nasty shots at Jazz fans and their “hygiene,” Maxwell also had to get in a reference to Elon Musk's recent deal to buy Twitter:
Elon Musk should buy the NBA and remove the Jazz franchise from the league. Not because America hates Utah but because it makes me sad to see their fan base heartbroken year after year. 😂

Maxwell assuredly is not sad about this latest bit of Utah heartbreak, but he just can't help himself with this trolling. He wasn't done:
I know every year when the Jazz loses first round it feels as if I’ve won another championship but the sad reality is I still only have 2 and UTAH HAS NONE. Happy Friday folks!

The Jazz are indeed gone fishin', and now it's time to see what kind of moves are made this offseason. The general assumption is that there will be some kind of major shakeup involving Rudy Gobert, Donovan Mitchell or both. Will Danny Ainge look to launch into a full rebuild? This star duo has had its share of success in the regular season, but the playoff success has been lacking with zero trips to the Western Conference Finals. There has also been beef between the two, though they have tried to publicly downplay it of late.
There's also the matter of head coach Quin Snyder, who could wind up moving on as well depending on what he wants to do. There are a whole lot of big decisions to make in Utah this offseason.
One thing is for sure, Vernon Maxwell will surely be laughing at the Jazz and their fans.
