Draft day trade with the New Jersey Nets

[larryselbows]

Utah Gives
Derrick Favors
Devin Harris
This years #3 Pick
Next years Golden State Warriors pick

Utah Receives
Deron Williams


I checked, and this trade works in the ESPN trade machine.

I think this helps our backcourt a lot in that we add one of the most dynamic playmakers in the NBA.

In return New Jersey receives a high potential forward, a solid point guard, and a number of picks for their future.

I don't know how you don't do this trade, and to be quite honest, I'm not sure of many NBA front offices that would be willing to part with Deron Williams for these spare parts. With the weak upcoming draft, the possibility of not even receiving Golden State's pick next year, the inconsistency of Devin Harris, and the huge gap between total potential and what has actually been realized in Derrick Favors, I can't imagine New Jersey going for it.

Obviously, it would take a poorly run, dysfunctional franchise going through a difficult period of transition, with an owner that is the mediocre product of the rich to actually do something like this (which Jay-Z is not), but it is fun to speculate!

Who is this Duhron Williams guy, never heard of him.

 

[Brown Notes]

I'd do it if he came with a spare wrist and a shock collar.

I'd do it if he came with a spare wrist and a shock collar.

and a longterm contract? I still wouldn't do it (and I think it's fair to say I'm a Deron Williams fanboy).

 

[Brown Notes]

The collar ensures loyalty.

 

[vslice02]

Only if Jerry comes out of retirement to coach him.

 

[Brown Notes]

Yes. Jerry gets the collar controls.

 

[Park Bites]

wouldnt do it

 

[Justys]

Don't want it, I'm much more excited to see what the Jazz can do without Williams. They have been there and done that. Lets now see the future of the Jazz come together.

ps

Deron, Hayward, Miles, Millsap, Jefferson < Harris, Hayward, Miles, Favors, Jefferson
Jimmer, Bell, Evans, Fez < Jimmer, Bell, Evans, Millsap, Kanter

 

[sepanol]

cant we just give harris and get deron?

 

[Chad Feldheimer]

I think NJ would want 3 million in cash also.

One thing that makes this trade look a lot better, is NJ is in a much different scenario than Utah is. If NJ can get one superstar, which they have, and when they become Brooklyn, they will be in a great position to develop their own super team. NJ gave up a lot for Deron, but they have a chance now to get a lot because of Deron.

 

[Beantown]

Devin Harris, Derrick Favors, Enes Kanter, Austin Rivers > Dwill

 

[Justys]

Devin Harris, Derrick Favors, Enes Kanter, Austin Rivers > Dwill

Plus 3 million cash and you can say that if we had Dwill we wouldn't of been able to keep our pick. Hopefully Jimmer or Singleton. Thank You Dwill....I will always cheer for you!!!!

 

[Zulu]

Man this thread really put it in perspective how lopsided that trade was and how KOC did the right thing, But dang, I miss Deron!

 

[Shaggy]

If he agrees to stream his video game habits and I say do it!

 

[akirac73]

Who would be dumb enough to ever make a trade like that? NJ would laugh in our face...

It was a good trade for both teams. NJ was in dire need of a superstar after Carmelo joined Amare in New York. Deron and Brook are two solid building blocks. They just need to add one more star and develop a solid bench and they'll be in the mix in the EC.

Devin Harris, Derrick Favors, Enes Kanter, Austin Rivers > Dwill

Joebagadonuts + $3M > DWill - given the fact he was going to walk at the end of his contract.
