Deron's Parting Interview

What you're describing is remorse, and that's exactly what I see when I look at his face during this.

I'm sure he feels like **** right now. Maybe he was getting a little ahead of himself and it bit him in the ***. Seriously, getting shipped to NJ is a serious reality check.
 
Thanks for posting. Deron has been very classy with his reactions and comments about the trade.
 
Ya know, even if he is broken up about it, he controlled his own destiny more than he likes to let on. He could have taken the Durant way and said "yeah, this is my team, I want to get it done, and I'm not going to be just like everyone else". I think the Jazz were right in the sense that Deron was behaving the same way most other superstar players have recently where they'll go buddy up with whoever and/or take the most money that's available at a place that's not Utah.

If he really wanted to be here then there are ways he can express it. Criticizing the team's personnel decisions, criticizing the plays they run, acting all pissy about basically everything, and saying stuff like he's not going to comment on his free agency are all ways to drive down the front office's confidence in that player, so I think they did the right thing by getting out early before he walks to another all-star team when his contract is up. And if it hit him like a ton of bricks, you can't say he didn't deserve at least a little bit of it.

This post hurts me.
 
I will miss DW. I think DW desire to win lead to much of his frustration. There are a few things he could have done better but I still don't think he did enough to get traded. I know the Jazz were worried about losing him and getting nothing for him but I am still sad he is gone. I wish him well and will cheer for him the rest of his career. Hopefully, on his return Jazz fans will show some of the class DW talked about and demonstrated on his way out.

I do find it funny how many poster criticize DW for his actions but then they get on their computers and voice some of the same criticism of the team and management. Not all ways in a mature way either.
 
Everyone just needs to put their big girl panties on and understand Dwill wanted out. Dont feel sorry for him. I just resigned recently from a position and believe me I sold my story how sad it was to leave and was rewarded with overflowing pockets. I am sure most of you can relate to a similiar situation.

I can't fake tears and I can't recall when I deliberately milked someone with sympathy for money, so, no I don't.

But thanks for the insight on your integrity.

I can't. I'm not that disingenuous.
