Bill Simmons take on the Deron Williams trade

[JJ Rage]

My opinion of Deron as a basketball player doesn't change just because he's wearing a new uniform.

 

[Jazz Spazz]

Jazz fans are like Sicilians: You don't mess with them.

This was my favorite part.
Only if he could have thrown inconceivable in there somehow.

 

[honz]

Cute, but I'm not entirely sure how Deron being on a different team suddenly makes Paul the "winner" of that argument.

Yeah, I was just thinking that. The argument was about who is the better player, not who would switch teams first. I would still rather have DWill I think.

 

[NCJazz]

If Williams was the Stone Temple Pilots, does that make Devin Harris Candlebox or Creed?

hey now, dont knock my Tallahassee-FSU boys!

If CP3 goes to NY with Melo and Amare as expected, and the soon-to-be NY Nets get Deron to stick around and they somehow lure Dwight Howard to Brooklyn, damn, that would be a terrific NY-based rivalry. I'd like to see it happen.

This will be a good luck with the new CBA unless Paul takes a big pay cut.

Pretty much sums it up. Gotta love the respect we get as fans.

What do you think Chris Paul is saying to himself right now? "Dog-gone-it, why couldn't that be me?" or not.

i don't get why he says the trade proves that CP3 is better than DWill. you can make a case that CP3 is better, i guess. but the Jazz had far more success with DWill than the Hornets have had with CP3. the Jazz won 4 playoff series. the Hornets... one? anyone think they'll win a dammed thing this season? or next? and then CP3 is gone. hell, he might be gone after this season and a lockout.

Chris Paul likes to wear womans clothing on the weekends...just what I heard.

 

[bluenote]

Actually, I always thought Deron was more Alice in Chains

Must mean they'll win the championship. After all, Huff had his red thong when the Giants won the WS.
