The Jazz are trading D-Will to New Jersey!?

Good trade

We avoid becoming the next Cleveland/Denver.

I'm pretty sure we are the next Denver. The Jazz FO just didn't want to wait till next year.

We avoid becoming the next Cleveland/Denver...

On the contrary, we just became one...

I might be wrong, but isn't Devin Harris the one that got busted for smoking pot and was soon after traded by Dallas to the Nets?

This was already answered but NO, it was Josh Howard that was busted.

Anyone know what the Sac, Hou or Cha offers were?? I read a twitter that Hou thought they had a deal

Jazz just did the same thing as Denver....

I think he meant Cleveland/Toronto.

Is there really that much difference? If you add players we got to Cleveland/Toronto, they are still going to stink. Just like us.

Good comeback. +5

big difference. Cleveland & Toronto got nothing in exchange. Jazz get Favors, Harris and 2 lotto picks. Jazz downgrade but not nearly as bad as those other teams did and have more pieces to re-build faster.

Don't get me wrong I'm not exactly happy on this trade but how about some constructive whinning or bitching?

How could the Jazz have avoided becoming the Cavs? If they waited until this summer they have to see how the CBA plays out and they have to hope DWill still wants to stay and excepts a extension. On top of it if he excersized his player option he would likely make 2x as much as the new max contracts would be so eating up close to what amounts to 2 max players.
The only thing the Jazz could do to keep DWill happy according to his words in the media was make the Jazz a contender and even then how did that work out for the Cavs? The Jazz took control of the situation for better or worse.

As I said, add players we just got to Cleveland, and they are still horrible. The value we got is negligible compared to having a superstar. We did not have to lose Deron at all.

What gamble? NJ did not gamble anything. This rape is as one sided as they come. With Deron and Lopez, plus CAP room and a billionaire owner, moving to NY, and having all picks after this year, Nets are on great shape. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same about Jazz.

What is it with Jazzfanz's obsessions over seven footers? If they're seven feet then people seem to view them as the missing piece. I'd take Al over Thabeet and Lopez any day.
