What's new

Deron is coming back to Utah.

Yes, Deron is worth Jefferson and Millsap. Deron took us to a WCF. Jefferson and Millsap lost to Charlotte twice and barely made the playoffs. HUGE difference.

Unlike Deron, who lead the Nets to such glory.
 
Yeah, it's fair to say that Deron led us to the WCF, but he had pretty good pieces to work with. He doesn't have those pieces in NJ. If he came back, he'd make us a contender with what we have now. But keep on dreaming - it aint happenin!'
 
The Jazz are a Deron and a three point shooter away from contending. It's simple, when we get GS's pick, trade Burks and pick for Thompson and another future first, amnesty Jefferson and resign Deron. Then we are set up.

well said, except the jefferson part

The defense starts in perimeter and ends in the post. Deron and Jefferson will take us back to our messed up defense back in the days with Boozer
 
Anyone who thinks KOC can just pick up the phone and call Deron or even Billy King and get back Deron for nothing is living in LaLa Land.

*shakes head*
 
Who cares about Billy King? Deron is a free agent.

Not this again.. KOC signing Deron as a free agent is basically giving the middle finger to every GM in the league (King included).

What do we do when we need to ship our next star out of town? Nobody will do business with us knowing what we did with Deron (shafted Nets for Favors, Kanter, Harris).

The Jazz didn't shaft the Nets at all. We gave them what they wanted. It's not our fault that Dwight never came and the DWill didn't commit. If we give them a decent package, we're doing them a favor. DWill is only going to sign with a few teams, and those teams will be the market for the Nets in a sign-and-trade.
 
Keep in mind, the Nets went all-in for D.Will. Now they're going to get next to nothing for him, unless they can trade Brook Lopez to Orlando for Dwight. On top of that, Gerald Wallace is opting out also. They're going to have to do a complete rebuild.

If DWill is willing to sign with Utah longer term, then the Jazz are players for him, along with presumably the Lakers, the Mavs and the Knicks (although it would be an unequivocal slap in the face to Brooklyn if DWill ended up in Manhattan).

If Utah got DWill, we'd have a line-up of DWill, Hayward/Burks, SF TBD, Favors and Kanter. That team contends with the Clippers and Thunder to come out of the west. Dallas and the Lakers are on the decline.
