CBS reports tonight that Deron Williams has informed associates he looks to join Amar'e in NY

[JJ Rage]

Worrying about this **** right now is pointless. He's not a FA for another 18 months. There will be either a new CBA or a lockout. This issue is not black and white, and the factors that would lead to Deron staying or leaving are numerous.


Relax.

Amen. Although Boston had Rondo, he was the weakest link that season. And LA won it with Derek freakin' Fisher, who's 50+ yrs of age. Parker is top-notch, though.

Utah absolutely needs to upgrade over AK, Bell and CJ. None of those guys can shoot. Hitting 40% of FG's just ain't gonna cut it. If the Jazz could get 2 legit starters for Deron or one + a high lottery pick, I'd say pull the trigger. With all the good young PG talent in the league. it's economically foolish to pay MAX money. Deron is just not dominant enough.

Disagree. Deron is our only big star and difference maker on this team. Teams with no stars and just legit starters win about 15 games a year in this league.
There are only two ways to go in a Deron trade. You must get an close to equal talent back, or blow it all up and get talented prospects and lottery picks in return.

What exactlly has he done to show disloyalty? Are you upset because he didn't take Sloan whipping like he should? REally no loyalty. He playing injured. Sure seems that people complain about loyalty seemed to forget or excuse AK's disloyalty during the playoffs or Boozer talking about getting his money. Now those are examples of disloyalty. So tell me EXACTLY what you think he has done that has constituted disloyalty and use FACTS and not your homer opinion about what you think happened. My standard of loyalty as a fan is that I give all players the benefit of the doubt until I have sufficient information to make a plausible conclusion that a specific players is not loyal to the Jazz. My loyalty as a fan remains with the team and not a specific player. So your assumption that I was suggesting that DW was my boy, must have resulted from you having hurt feelings as well as being completely ridiculous.

If DW actually does something to deserve to be boo (disagreeing with the coach is not on my list because then I would have to consider Stockton, Malone, Hornacek, Russell etc disloyal). So before you call me naive or a joke how about you back up your opinion with some actual facts instead of responing like a emotional teenager.

So what facts have you brought to the table? I assume he has all intentions of leaving you assume otherwise. No reason to argue, but I can unless the jazz make a major move he is gone. Keep hope in your feeble mind though if it makes you feel better.

Jazzfanzs complaining about no loyalty from DW and then showing none by taking the word of some tweet'n "journalist".

Seconded.

 

[NCJazz]

Seconded.

But, he is from CBS. The national media would not lie would they? A few months ago i would have said it was crazy to trade DWill, but now I think you at least listen to offers. If there is a lockout next year or even a partial season we could lose him for pretty much nothing.
