Deron's Parting Interview

[candrew]

Brooklyn is NYC, you know that right? The area will the new arena will be built is literally 2-3 miles from Wall Street.

Currently the Nets are about a 10 minute train ride away from Madison Square Garden. No, it's not the Knicks, but DWill is definately in NYC now.

I find most people refer to Manhattan as NYC.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Newark isn't the draw of Manhattan. The new Brooklyn arena could be if everyone embraces it. That's also in two years though, after D.Will decides whether to re-sign...

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Yes, technically the 5 boroughs are thought of as NYC, but not New York, New York. Whatever. D.Will has to play out the current contract in NJ.

 

[Jeff]

"....city so nice they named it twice... Manhattan's the other name."

Is Deron really sad to be leaving the Jazz, or is he sad that he's going to New Jersey? I honestly think it's the latter. He's sad that he has to play out his current contract without a prayer of making the playoffs. NJ is going to be no better than a 25-win team for the next couple of years. That's 57 losses per year, no matter how well D.Will plays.

hes sad he's in a worse situation and we'll probably see the real 'deron' in the coming weeks as a Nets.

 

[NUMBERICA]

I'm fearful for our pick that Deron and Lopez are going to mesh insanely well. My dream all of last season was seeing them play together since I don't think either is, was, or will be a guy that can carry a team (who can?) but with the right players can be more than the sum of their parts.

Now for their sake, if they could just get rid of Avery Johnson, they might have something.

 

[VINYLONE]

What happens if the Nets make the playoffs and the Jazz dont.

Jeezus. Imagine the implications.

 

[fairweather]

Won't happen this year. Maybe next, though.
