That sounds right. This was at the point where Boozer had just bought a large house in the LA area and everyone was paranoid that he was being traded to LA for a bunch of junk.
Deron is coming back to Utah.

I don't know about that. I think Dwill needs to go somewhere with a legitimate All-Star PF who can run pick n' roll. David West is good, but he is 31 and is strictly a pop man.
That's a good point. But outside of that, that is a well-assembled team that would give him numerous good options, a spread floor, and could pay him.

Why would we pay max money for Deron? And why would Deron take a pay cut to come back here?
Folks have gotta understand, Kanter, Favors, Hayward, Burks, etc aren't going to be on rookie contracts forever. If you don't think that big markets/rich owners like New York, SA, LA, Miami, Portland, Dallas, etc won't be interested in Hayward or Favors, then you're not thinking.
And the "other guys" like Millsap, Jefferson, Harris, etc will all be wanting more money too. And believe it or not, someone might actually be willing to pay Millsap more than the garbage that he's currently on. If Boozer is getting 80+ million, why shouldn't Millsap? True, Chicago was retarded and that was done under a different CBA... But Millsap is going to get a raise... REGARDLESS! And he deserves it! Millsap is far better in every way possible than Boozer. I think some of you are going to be surprised how many teams are really going to go after Millsap and Jefferson. Bigs that can score are at a premium in this league!
We aren't the Mavs or Yankees here folks! This isn't Monopoly, where you play with fake money. I swear some of you have never heard of the concept of SALARY CAP and FRANCHISE FINANCIAL VIABILITY... We can't give max money out to 12 players here.

Come home Deron. Just don't put your feet up on the coffee table as much as you did before.
I can't believe this thread has gone on so long.
I am 99%* sure I read an interview earlier this year where Deron was asked if he would ever come back to Utah. He said no.
Every single last bridge has been burned. Deron is not coming back. Get over it.
(*Sometimes my memory isn't accurate, I don't have time to look for the interview right now, does anyone else remember it?)

Dammm this thread is still going?
While it would make sense from a basketball stand point for Deron to join this team, it doesnt from a pride stand point. He wont come back to a team that bailed on him. He should, but he wont. Plus no way Kevin would resign him. Plus like what Thriller is saying. It would hamper our ability to sign our young guys.
I would want Deron to come back, but he would have to except like 10 million a year. Not happening. No matter what
anyone says (including Deron) money is way more important than winning.

It happened, but
A) Everything is subject to change.
B) Deron would get crucified if he was talking about teams he wanted to sign with when he was a free agent. For the record, he hasn't said he would like to sign with anybody. You cannot take stuff told to the press at face value.
