Ehhhhh... I think the Jazz can get more. And they should probably try to find that franchise C they've never had before. For example, Marc Gasol, Xavier Henry, and some combination of picks seems better to me.
John Hollinger points out why the Jazz are screwed, Deron is leaving, and we wont make the playoffs:
- Thread starter fallenchicken
- Start date

D-Will, Price, Bell to Houston for Battier, Budinger, Brooks (or Lowry), Scola and their 2012 and/or 2013 firsts. Get this team playing old school again.
This is such ****ing garbage its unbelievable. Lebron was a ****ing hack of epic proportions and now writers want to apply his failing decisions to other players...they're all looking for a story line. All of them.

Actually more like Griffin or Gordon, but I doubt the Clips would do either because they believe they have the essential pieces to contend in a couple years (which they do).
If a trade were to happen, the Golden State trade is more likely.

My thoughts as well. I'm hoping the Jazz miss the playoffs. Getting blown out by SA or LA in Rd #1...what's the use?
Jazz need every draft pick they can get. I mean even if Utah ends up drafting a Ronnie Brewer-type guy at 14, that would help.

What makes LeBron so bad? Oh. Right.
The negative media reports that you have fully bought into.
Meanwhile, you pretend anything negative said about Deron by these same outlights is an attack on a holy symbol; it's wrong. How do you know? Well, it appears to be faith.
Funny how often that becomes blatant contradiction.
So far as it goes, I'm not surprised that you side with Deron -- you hated Sloan, really.
But the part that I find most egregious is, simply, how you want to concurrently bury any criticism of Deron and/or pretend he had nothing to do with Sloan's ouster.
Deron clearly wanted this. Many of his biggest supporters did as well. But at least have the honesty to own it.
Maybe the Jazz should do what the Packers did and hire a political snake oil salesman to further obfuscate the matter.

Deron Williams: just following in Baron Davis' footsteps.

Plenty of fans, including myself, wanted Sloan gone. I didn't dislike Sloan, I didn't want him fired. But I felt his unwillingness to adapt to today's game and his rigid system was holding the franchise back. Instead of going out and getting the best players, the front office was forced to go out and get the players best suited for the Jazz system.
But I didn't want him to leave like this. This circus. I wanted to be watching that press conference at home on a summer afternoon, shortly after the Jazz had finally brought home the O'Brien Trophy. At the very least, I didn't want the guy to be hanging up the clipboard a week before the all-star break.
Did Deron want it? I have no doubt in my mind. Regardless, I don't think he wanted it like this. I'm sure he respects Sloan on a certain level, but felt the team needed someone else. What if Deron knows something we don't? What if, despite all the leaguewide talk, there are players in the league that would love to come here and play with Deron, but have no interest in doing it under Jerry Sloan? We always talk about how big name free agents don't want to play in this market, but surely that can't be the only reason, right? Are we really going to assume that every player in today's NBA is only interested in winning championships if they can do it in New York, California or Florida?
