Utah Jazz have agreed in principle with Elson. Only holdup with deal is Elson, who is in Netherlands, first completing a physical.

Elson's deal will be guaranteed.

Meh. It fills out the roster I suppose. This means aside from Fes (maybe) our frontcourt is pretty much set in stone. Oh well.

Third-string center. Yawn.

Inevitably, some will make more out of this than they need to...

ANY vet big man that isn't named Jarron Collins is a win for us.

Eh, if he has a bit of the fire he did a few years ago he should at least be better than Kofus. Although that's not saying much.

Am I the only one not seeing anything on the twitter page earlier than Aug. 12?

Crap. He's a veteran too. Our only hope is that he blows out a knee in the pre-season. Otherwise, Sloan will be tempted to start him. And he won't be starting him someplace like Center, he'll decide he's the answer at small forward or something.

Yeah, the newest post is August 12th. Wrong link perhaps or horrible sham during slow time. We need Elson so this would make me very mad

I see five posts made over the last 2 hours at that twitter page including the quoted one.

I think you have to be logged into twitter. At least I didnt see it until I logged in.

I don't really care, but the signing of Elson before Fes makes me uneasy. Assuming Fes is a formality, I still wish they would have opted to sign a young guy to a non-guaranteed deal. You can always find an Elson if you need one. But whatever. Welcome aboard Francisco. I hope they only issue you an officially licensed Jazz speedo to wear under those sweats you'll never take off.

What, so the only way to see a newspaper twitter account is to have a twitter account?

Posh.

He has started in an abnormally large portion of the games he's played in his career (148 of 405), considering his career averages are about 4 PPG, 4 RPG. Scary.

Ah ok. I dont have a twitter account. I must suck. I still would have rather gone after a guy like Earl Barron, but as long as Fes is resigned Elson will probably be seeing the end of the bench on most nights.

Someone should probably tweet him and tell him his twits aren't for public view.

I can tell that you're new to this whole twitter phenomenon.
