I don;t mind him being upset and I love the fire he had. I hate the way he expressed it. He did so in a way that magnified the problems.

Agree, gojazz. Nothing wrong with having passion and being upset. But how did he make his teammates better? How did he help the coaching staff? Deron had passion, but he wasn't a leader. When the going got tough, he became a malcontent, not a constructive force. Look at the on-court behavior with Hayward. You just don't call out a player like that, especially a rookie. You don't tear down your coaches and create a negative atmosphere in the locker room.

Would have been much better had he requested a trade. Then it would have at least been in the open. Miller and KOC could have tried to intervene. Instead, we discover the feud with Sloan had been festering for months and it came to a sudden, ugly end.
 
Deron is so coming back. My girlfriend, Clair Voyeur, has seen it .. was a pre-animated version, but I trust her.
 
Deron's not coming back...but I sure wish he was on the team for the last 14 seconds of OT vs. the Lakers. The Jazz have nobody that can win a game with seconds remaining on the clock...Gordon Hayward? C'mon, was that the best we could do.

Yeah, but we looked like good sports while losing. That's all that matters.

No I just wish he directed it better. What good is that desire and fire if he cannot control it?

I think I get what you're saying. Passion is something that people should be able to switch on/off as if they had a switch.

I don't see it that way at all. Last year Deron was in a position of watching his playoff team turn into a team that just wasn't very good. That put him in a situation where he had to try everything he could to try to win. Nothing worked, and obviously he got extremely frustrated. People want to hate him for his attitude, but I doubt Jazz fans would be happy with a Carmelo type player who is always smiling, win or lose. That attitude that Deron has, is the very reason he was, and still is one of my favorite players. Dude has an absolute fire inside him that I wish all of our players had. I want my guys to hate losing with a passion like Deron does. Even if he ends up looking like an *** at times, at least you always know how much he cares about winning.

I love you.

Although if he were to come back, you'd certainly hope he'd put a little more effort into taking some of the edge off the negativity. I really don't think the Jazz would want him back unless they believed he would take things a tad more in stride (compared to last season, anyway).
 
I find it funny that you guys follow Eric Pincus at times.. Yet support these best buy jokes... I dont get it. Never have. Never will.
