We should trade for Deron Williams

D Rose is the worst defensive PG - I'm including back-ups and fringe D-Leaguers most of Europe, some of China and the college power conferences.

Seriously, he's giving up career games for the opposing PGs on a nightly basis.

D Rose would be a marked upgrade at backup,he'd fit well next to all the shooters. Getting him out of NY, contract year and gearing up for the race for homecourt is a perfect situation for both parties.

There's no doubt he'd add a nice boost, certainly much more athletic than Mack

At this point, the only consideration should be how to win in the playoffs. It's pretty clear that the answer (at least this year) is not with Exum, Mack or Neto in the playoff rotation. The Cavs and Warriors have started an arms race. Adding Hill and JJ to a solid young roster was the Jazz first shot at climbing the mountain. Adding D-Will (who I will freely admit I'm not a fan of) or Rudy Gay would be another step in that progression - as long as they know and accept their role like Joe Johnson has. Having the capibility to bring a guy of Williams off the bench could prove a major thing IF he plays better defense than any of the current backup point guards. I know he'll bring better offense.

While I probably would look elsewhere, I wouldn't be totally opposed to it either. The Cavs are a team that identify weaknesses and aggressively attempt to fill them. Wouldn't hurt to see the Jazz do so also - as long as they don't sacrifice the future for the now. I know that I wouldn't trade for anyone who would upset the chemistry of this team and make Hayward consider leaving.

Unfortunately Rudy Gay is out for the season

Rose in a Jazz uniform, ha, that will be the day. The lawsuit, the injuries, his aura of self entitlement, just 100% opposite of what the Jazz look for.

Deron's PER during the last three seasons fluctuated between 15.7 and 14.6. You may call that "fairly efficient" if you want, but a score of 15 means league average.

Ehh, that includes every position. It's not average for PG's. He is 26th in PER among PG's, which isn't great as a starter, but fantastic as a backup. And PER is less of an efficiency rating (though I know it has the word efficiency in it) as much as it is "does this player get a ton of stats" rating. A guard like Dwill who doesnt rebound or get steals is going to get hurt in PER.

The dude is looking for a max contract - you think he'd be happy here as a back-up?

His first step is still awesome - so there's that. But he sucks at everything else. No J, can't pass, no D.

And if your argument is he's more athletic then Mack then I can apply that same argument to 30-40 other PG's in the league with way less baggage.
