Buzz from Mohegan Sun event over the weekend where #Twolves GM Milt Newton was: D-Will trade is close. Utah, Sac. NYK, Nets possible.

Huh. Probably doesn't have any legs to it, but interesting to see the Jazz pop up in some trade talks nonetheless. If there is any truth to it, I wonder what Jazz asset is being discussed.

umm nope

**** that

We don't need to tie up money in dwill/destroy our tank

IF true I am very glad that Utah is out there looking around and active int alks. Just have to make sure than any and all deals made have to completely support the rebuilding effort centered around the draft and free agency next year. I would veto any trade that involves us shipping out 2014 first rounders.

My luck it will be Gobert & rush for Williams.

Wow, do you know what Utah, Sac. NYK, Nets all have in common? They are all really, really bad.

 

[David Stern]

Maybe Marvin is involved in this deal? I'd be curious to see what a lineup of favors/kanter/Williams could do.

 

[Joe Bagadonuts]

Out of concern for Gameface's safety (and by extension the safety of all drivers on the roads of Utah) I move that we veto any trade that has the possibility of putting multiple people named Williams onto the Jazz.

(Message board posting fans have veto rights as long as their rep is high enough, correct?)

So what's the story with this guy? He shoots 35% now, and 60% in college? Too much of tweener? Once the size and athleticism level evened out a bit he didn't have the skill level to get some bunnies?

I wouldn't mind him on the cheap as I saw play a few times in college and he was interesting. That's partly what this season should be about now really. Just bringing guys that you might find interesting that are scrubbing away elsewhere on the cheap and giving them an audition. Him and that white guy on the Kings seem like two prime candidates.

They liked burks before, Burks and Rush for another Williams works.

So does Kanter for Williams. Just sayin.


Williams shoots 35% you say?

I say welcome aboard young man, you will fit right in.

How does Williams feel about long, contested 2pt shots?

How does Williams feel about long, contested 2pt shots?

@ 35%, that sounds about what he's probably into shot wise. Don't you dare use that 6'8" 240 lb frame to ever get to the rim! Just relax, come in, and chuck.

The announcers answer a lot of my questions in this video:

He is lazy, and apparently does get the rim often, he just can't finish well --

Marvin for derrick straight up

A rotation of Kanter-Favors-Williams sounds enticing, though I don't know what we would give up for him.
