Deron/Mitchell

[jom2003]

Dwill only gave us Devin Harris, favs, Kanter and Trey Burke. Will have to see about Donovan.

D-Will was more fun to watch.

His crossover made people look silly

 

[Elizah Huge]

This is actually really hard. Deron was the better player in his prime. He made multiple All-NBA teams. Donovan did help us rise from one of our lowest points as a fan base.

I know this isn't the most objective criteria, but the most lasting memories for me are what happens in the clutch. And the contrast between the two of them in clutch situations swings it hard in favor of Deron.

He gave use two #3 overall picks and a 9th pick. We just did **** with it.

 

[Ujfanatic]

Great question. Tough choice. I picked Deron due to him being the undeniable best player on the team

 

[Gameface]

Don’t be dense.

Well you said it weird.

This is tough. They'd have to settle this debate in the ring...in that case I'll take Deron.

Agreed. The Deron/Boozer/Memo years were really fun at their peak. This teams peak consisted of drama and underachievement. I at least feel like the Deron led teams reached their full potential given the landscape. All this team did the past 3 years was have a drama cloud hanging over it and underachieving every time they got a chance.

Well you said it weird.

My point is, Derons NBA career is defined by two things. 1-His time in a Jazz uniform, that’s the good legacy within his NBA career, and 2-How quickly his career disappeared after leaving Utah. Deron Williams will always be most associated with the Utah Jazz.

There are people who have criticized Mitchell for not spending time in the offseason in Utah and not participating in things like attending summer league. So I honestly wondered, based on your reputation, if that's what you were talking about.

Who has the better Jazz legacy after Donovan is traded in the coming weeks/months?

Answered by loggrad22’s thread. Deron by 2 votes now. Deron by a landslide later.

Deron let us past the 2nd round getting us to the WCF.

Even though that 2007 Lakers series ended in 6, I felt like we could have gone the distance that year. I've never felt that way with Don's teams

Deron was clearly the best player on that Jazz team.

Don's supporting cast >> Deron's

Deron elevated his teammates (made scrubs like Brewer/Harpring look like solid NBA starters)

Deron was mutch more clutch

Not in this instance. I think that makes you a bad leader, and face of a franchise, but I don’t think that impacts basketball legacy. It does impact overall legacy in a place I guess. Like, guys like Giannis and Dame mean as much to their cities as people as players, but that’s not what I’m taking into account here at all.

22?

 

[The Fresh Prince]

Man D Will was the ****. He definitely was the people's champ while he was here

 

[outerspacefan]

Will be interested in seeing the results as Deron was semi-hated by our fanbase for quite some time after the drama with Sloan.

I knew DWill was right. Hated him anyway for some time. But dude was a friggin gamer.

 

[outerspacefan]

After thinking about 3 minutes, I refuse to choose between these two. Close as f...
Neither one deserves to lose the vote.

Yeah, like John Lucas III but LogGrad22.

Temporary insanity?
