Jazz trade Devin Harris to Atlanta for Marvin Williams (merged)

[Darkwing Duck]

I hope it means the Jazz don't bring back Howard. I also bet Josh Smith is getting pissed off. He's wanted to be traded for at least a year now, and he gets to watch Marvin Williams and Joe Johnson get shipped out first.

Heh.

Now if we trade Al, how much better will the defense be?

more like since Larry H Miller passed.

One of the two.
This is an exceptional trade. We needed a pure, tall, SF. That was the biggest weakness besides Al on our team.

So far, we've replaced:
Harris for Mo (even)
Bell + CJ + Howard for Murphy + Marvin + more Burks. No way in hell are we worse at the wing spot now than we were with Howard and CJ.

I like it.
1 down, 1 to go.

I like this trade. If KOC can get rid of Jefferson for anything decent then he deserves to be Executive of the Year.

Respectfully disagree on the Meh.

Marvin gives the jazz an outside threat, can play the 3 or 4, and can rebound. I love the move.

Hayward can start at sf with Burks at sg, Marvin comes in for either of them. Hayward can move to the sg. Roster flexibility.

Kudos to KOC. I'm eating crow again.

Guys, KOC will be on 1280 the Zone in about 15 min. for those who are interested.

One more thought. This is perfect for the core. The Jazz will shed Howard, Miles and Bell. Those three killed the development of Hayward and especially Burks.

I am even more excited for next season.

Damn it, worse part of this trade:

No HeavinHarris. He'll be on the Hawks forum now.

Looks like Marvin's never been a great 3-point shooter his career, but last year his % jumped way up. He shot 43% from deep in the 37 games he started.

Such an astonishing lack of perspective. Jefferson was, at worst, the second-best player on a playoff team last year. The idea that he's somehow its biggest weakness is absurd.

Don't get your hopes up yet. When was Howard signed last year? There's still plenty of time to bring in a savvy vet or two to consume all the minutes.
