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

Hmmm. I remember people using the same cakk arguments two offseasons ago. It was stupid back then, and it's stupid now. So many reinforcements that could have been had for next to nothing.

SHAAAME!

I for one wish we would have bakkd even harderer. We never should have brought in Hill,JJ, or Diaw. Hill has ruined Exum's developement, JJ just puts up stats on bad teams, and I'm pretty sure Diaw is a gay. I'm glad DL didn't repeat his mistake.

It's pretty different.

The cake is looking pretty good, and that is partly through the "bakking" so many of y'all incessantly bitch about.

Uhh. This team would be last year's disappointment without all of the reinforcement that they finally did last offseason by adding DREADED VETERANS.

So we make the 8th seed last year and get blasted by the Warriors? Do the Hawks/Pacers even include us in a trade to get Hill if we have the 17th pick instead of the 12th?

So if Jazz were interested in trading for him, then why would they not claim him off waivers and essentially get him for nothing other than the remainder of his salary? Obvious answer must be he didn't want to come to Utah.

I think the more obvious answer is that the Jazz really didn't want him.

If he does clear waivers Jazz can offer him more money to come over this year... Could offer him 4.2 to get to the floor. Not sure the pro-rated difference between that and what Cleveland offers is worth it in his mind (would be about a million dollars), but we could go higher and give ourselves a team option in second year too. Would he take a two year $20M deal with second year being a team option or mostly non-guaranteed? Would pay him an additional 2-3 Million this year and give us an option next year if we want it.

2 year 20 Mil for Deron? Are you crazy?
 
2 years $20 million?!?!?!?! Are you insane?

He is getting $10 million from Mark Cuban this season. Most of that has been paid. He could have an extended stay with his family here in SLC by signing for about $3 - $4 million. There is NO WAY we are giving him more than 1 season because G. Hill and G Hay need theirs. Deron would be paid like a back up point guard and would get us over the floor (if that's an issue) and help prove himself to SLC fans again. His other most obvious choice is to probably take less money to go play with Bron bron and try to get a ring for riding the pine behind Krie Krie. Both are teams that need backup help. Deron for 1 year doesn't piss off Dante but gives us more depth at a spot we need help at. There are probably other teams in the mix, but the Jazz could probably pay him more now than most teams, give him a chance to redeem himself, let him live with his family who live here during the offseason... etc. Cavs are a cop-out.

Please read... he'd get the prorated portion of 10M so roughly 2.75 and we'd have a team option for next year or a very small guarantee... like 1M. Just in case Hill leaves we already have his replacement. He gives us the option because we give him more dough... not insane at all. Any good stopgap pg likely costs about that on a one year deal.
 
The other option is do nothing... hope we have no injuries or that Dante doesn't poop his pants in the playoffs and pay an extra 4 million to the players we have on our roster... so it's more flexibility more protection and less overall cash. I mean it's cool let's pay more and get less out of it... and I'm the one that's crazy.

You think being able to play actual NBA players instead of the dreck being trotted out last year amounts to two wins in a season where the Jazz lost more close games than any team? Ok.

To your second question, I honestly don't see why not. That draft was bleh and it doesn't seem like the Pacers cared all that much.
