People are going to believe what they want. I listened to all the interviews and I just think Sloan had enough. The guy is 68 years old and he always said he might just walk away someday. I guess people need a bad guy so they are blaming DW. Most of the people who are blaming DW either have never liked DW or maybe they are afraid of change. Time moves on for everyone. I just hope those who believe that DW had something to do with it, take a deep breathe and realize that most of the stuff that has been said in the national media has been refuted by the organization. They could be covering up but I tend to believe the Jazz instead of ESPN. Anyways, guys are going to believe what they believe. I will support DW and wish Sloan the best.

I think there's probably truth to both sides of this argument. While I do think the constant tug of war with Williams finally made Jerry walk away, it wasn't the type of thing that Jerry would have walked away from 5-10 years ago. I think he's being very honest when he says he felt like it was time. Jerry went to war with guys like Karl Malone, AK, Chris Morris, Deshaun Stevenson and Greg Ostertag during the course of his career. At the times of those run-in's, Jerry was younger and still felt the fire in his belly. I don't think his problems with D-Will were any worse than what he had experienced with many other players, it just came at a time when Jerry was near the end, and it helped him make his decision.
With that being said, I'm still very leary of D-Will right now. His leadership abilities have not proven to be that strong, he does seem to shift blame, he's recently had blow-ups with teammates during games (Hayward) and now we're hearing reports of him blatantly ignoring Jerry's play-calls in favor of what he'd rather run.I think there's more tense times ahead for the Jazz and D-Will.

I completely disagree.

For the record, I respect your opinion and I sincerely hope you're right.
I hope I am right as well....
Did he delete some of his twits?
did Siler delete his too?
the Deron-bashing is going over the top. the Jazz need to get ahead of this thing.
I looked on Silers twitter as well and see nothing...if both of those guys deleted their tweets thats ****ing incredibly weak.
