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

Do we want to sign Marvin Williams after this season to a long-term deal? No because he's mediocre at best and a waste of cap space IMO. We should only use Harris/Millsap/Jefferson for players that will make us better in the future because adding Marvin Williams for Harris isn't going to make us contend

If we could just get 99 players on the team, all named "Williams" my old #8 jersey would finally be relevant again! Do this now, KOC!

I'm sure Reggie can be picked up from the Bobcats for a future 2nd, as can Sean from Boston. Getting Derrick might be a bit trickier; it's not like we can stamp a "Return to Sender" on Big Al's forehead.

Mediocre at best? He's a solid player. No, he never lived up to his draft position. But he's developed a pretty good shot (39% on his 3's last season) and is a decent rebounder at his position. He's also been the 4th option for a good part of his career and hasn't complained about lack of touches or being moved to a 6th-man role.

Marvin makes us better (or do you believe Carroll or J. Howard is the answer as the 3rd player in the wing rotation?). We'll have him for 2 years, as I don't see him not exercising his PO. And that's perfect, IMO. He either likes it here, is a good fit and re-signs. Or worst case, we trade his expiring contract. Or maybe we just see him as a "stop-gap." He gives us two years while we draft and develop a young SF to take his place and then his salary comes off the books when we have to start spending money to extend Favors, Hayward, etc.

KOC is doing exactly what he should...looking to trade assets for assets (without letting them expire) but not taking on bad, long-term contracts.
 
Wonder if this will affect the trade?

Per David Aldridge twitter minutes ago: Breaking: Nets "very close" to acquiring Joe Johnson from Hawks for Farmar, Petro, Morrow, Williams, Stevenson and protected pick (Houston).

And per Nets beat writer Stefan Bondy twitter minutes ago: "League source confirms the Nets have all but finalized deal for Joe Johnson. Wow."
 
This is a fair trade in which I think the Jazz would receive better value incoming. Like someone mentioned, if we can unload Bell in the process, this trade looks even better.

So, no Williams. Meh.
