Who is better off Nets or Jazz moving forward?

[LogGrad98]

In the short-term New Jersey will be. With D Will and Lopez as the core they can bring in other players, maybe even another star or near-star, and they can become very good very quickly. We will have in essence 5 or 6 rookies. That does not bode well for at least 3 or 4 years. However at that point we will overtake them, as either D Will's hand will fall off, or he is going to opt out to go play in Miami along with Kobe, Amare, Griffin, and Roy.

Doesn't the answer to this question entirely depend on Deron's contract situation?

This and if he recruits Dwight Howard to go there.

I don't think there's a chance in hell that Howard leaves sunny Orlando and their tax break for freakin' Crooklyn.

Nets have no good draft pick in a weak draft and there aren't any good free agents this year. Nets will be as bad next year as they were this year. What incentive is there for Williams to stay?

I was just thinking we are not in that bad of shape (depending on the draft by KOC the moron). But, we have a lot of new young assets moving forward and all we did was yes lose an all-star. We potentially were going to lose Dwill anyway and even NJ still could lose Dwill when his contract is over.

So let me get this straight: Your whole identity is wrapped around the idea that KOC is a lousy GM and you've just created a thread that proves he's actually doing good work? No wonder there's a little red dot below your name.

 

[Joe Bagadonuts]

If you like KOC that is fine. I think that Jazz have a great future going forward due to the players not the GM.

We are very fortunate that the players you like just randomly decided to come here.

Oh wait... that's not how it works, is it.

The incentive is he'll go into free agency as they try to lock down a major guy. I doubt the Nets pull off a Howard type addition, but Deron and Howard is a pretty fantastic nucleus. My guess is he bolts like you said assuming the new CBA doesn't have the alleged franchise tag. From a fan standpoint, I want to see Deron paired up with Blake. Those two together would be dominant.

Sorta dumb poll. This is the Nets right? Nuf said.

You are the very definition of blind hate. You do know the GM. decides who to sign right.

 

[NotDeadYet]

Going forward implies "future", so getting the #3 & #9 picks in the 2010 draft and either #5 or #6 for 2011, PLUS #12 for 2011, PLUS a likely lottery pick in 2012 gives us a decided advantage. NJ now has no 1st round pick in 2011; they just traded their future for Deron, who may not stay there past next season... With Memo's contract up after next year, Deron would be quite palatable here salary-wise, but who knows what he'll decide to do...

Lol pretty stupid

I voted Jazz. Only because I don't see Williams going back to New Jersey after next season.
