Sources: Utah has expressed interest in re-acquring Deron Williams

[Ron Mexico]

Dante has lost minutes to Mack this year... Diaw plays way more than he should and hurts Lyles development.

I think we may have overestimated Dante's progress based on his play in some garbage time games.

Now when winning matters most we decide that getting a starting level player at an important position of need. That could help cover injuries at the two spot... But yeah those development minutes doe.

Exum has earned his minutes back. Exum has played better and improved every month this season. He is playing his best basketball this month even in important games. He is finally getting back to full strength from his ACL. He will continue on the track he has been all season of improving and getting back to full strength. Although he might not be all the way recovered until next season but this month has been promising. In February he has been shooting 53% and playing good defense. Any game he has gotten over 20 minutes he has scored at least 10 points. He was our best player against the Clippers when everyone else **** the bed.

What if he wants to come to Utah in teh future? If he publicly stated "I dont want to go to Utah" that is a terrible and short sighted PR move. Think.

If you forgot, the dude still lives here. Not wise to piss off the fan base if he doesnt have to.

He has told multiple people he wants to come back here at some point. Right now probably lying isn't the right time, maybe this off-season. Or next though.

Sure, but does he want to come back over goign to the Cavs for a year to chase a title?

 

[Coach Ellis]

Is there a reason why the Jazz can't just claim him off waivers if the want him?

They have cap space and his prorated contract can't be that much.

Him getting pissed off and pouting his way to the end of the season.

I wouldn't worry about that... when does he want to come back? If he goes to Cleveland and they win a title is he going to leave then? Think. If they get close and he's now bros with LeBron is he going to want to come then? Think.

Also, he's not spring chicken... if he doesn't want to come now then peace out. He's a few years away from being out of the league completely.

Even if he said it publicly he could still live here... the fans boo the **** out of him already... hasn't forced him to leave.

I'm sorry I don't agree with the moves DL has made, but realize the last time I disagreed was the big cakkk bakkk and DL basically publicly said he effed up so....

We'd have saved $2M and realized he hasn't changed much and would avoid signing him in the offseason... I'd be cool with that honestly... not going to penalize taking a swing and missing.

@cappy smurf

I guess we have to keep kicking the can down the road to that point where the Millers spend NBA-style money.

Let me guess, Jazz didn't make a move because they are cheap? Funny thing is, now they still have room to get a Hill extension done, so maybe they just didn't have anything on the table they felt was worth jeopardizing that.

Anyway, far be it from me to stop the annual bitch fest of KOC, er DL sitting on his hands.

Carry on.

Standing there with your bat on the shoulder while deals fly past that fit and are doable is the thing that pisses me off...

We could have done the Tucker deal, potentially the Illyasova deal (there was some insurance money there), D Will... hell even Mike Scott (character issues, but still).

We did nothing...

He would leave because other teams could pay him more.

And it makes more sense for jazz to wait and see what Hill does. If we can't get Hill back, go after Dwill. That's probably why we reached out to him, just to let him know we have interest for next year

Maybe, but wouldn't you have the same motivation issues you were concerned about earlier... I mean he's only here cause we paid him more.
