Next move: Trade Okur and Jefferson. Both are a waste of life. And money.
The Jazz are trading D-Will to New Jersey!?
- Thread starter YB85
- Start date
I am not so sure. With new billionaire ownership in place (who actually is a former ball player), they got a boat load of money to spend, and they already have 2 great young players to build around and a lot of CAP space. Plus, they have all their picks after this year. NJ is not in a bad position to rebuild. Smart money is on NJ winning title before Utah at this point.

Great? Lopez sucks. Have you watched him play or looked at his stats this year?
Exactly. These are not your fathers Nets. That guy has said over and over he wants to win...is he willing to spend the money? Yes.

Not sure, either. My money is on DWill going to another team after next season.

Think it was a GREAT move. Some argue he's the best point guard in the league and everyone agrees he's one of the top 3. He's young. Elite PGs are almost impossible to get via trade or free agency. He'll have a bigger impact in NJ than Melo would have. I know that Donnie Walsh preferred Williams to Melo. The Nets got the better deal.
Will the Nets be able to extend Williams

Not until this summer. However after that who knows. If Williams doesn't sign an extension, he can opt out in 2012 and be a free agent. There will be a lot of interest, but Nets will have his Bird Rights and under any new CBA deal, they'll have the advantage.
DWill was concerned with Utah not resigning Boozer and letting Brewer go, you think when he get to Jersey and see's Prokorov's commitment to winning he will eventually sign? If nothing else the Nets will spend money.

True. They also have a young center in Brook Lopez. But they are a little stuck after that. They wasted a lot of money this summer on role players like Travis Outlaw, Johan Petro and Anthony Morrow. They won't have max cap space in 2012 to add another star unless they are able to move some players next year. So their path toward getting much better is still a little unclear.

Maybe I am missing the vision of this deal (if any) but it seems like the future draft picks attained aren't blowing anyone away. isn't next year's draft a weak one anyway? i really hope there is some follow up to this deal, because as is.....dang. i mean, why not include memo or have them throw in morrow or another asset?

Hey don't hate on Jefferson. It's not his fault the Jazz wanted to play two power fowards.
But trade them. Make us young !
