The Jazz are trading D-Will to New Jersey!?

Actually, Nets pick if lottery was held today would likely be #6 overall. GSW, maybe 10-14. Not too encouraging. We are not talking about top overall selection here.

Yeah, not to mention that the picks all suck this time around anyway.

What I personally hate is the whole soap opera feel to this. I could get behind it better if it felt more like a business decision.

We trade away one of the Top 10 players in the league. We get: An adequate PG; a high upside PF; one lottery pick; GS Pick which is mid 1st. Harris and the GS pick are whatever. The assets are Favors and the NJ 1st.

So this trade is really about Favors turning into something great and fingerscrossed hope that this year's lottery turns out well. Any way you slice it, that's pretty risky to trade Deron for. I hope it works out.

I agree. It seems like this trade was made on emotion...like most of the trades made here on the forum. Chances that Harris stays once his contract is up? None. Chances that Jefferson turns into the player we need him to be? Pretty god damn low....so far.

We couldn't even offer an extension until this coming July.

That's my point. We had plenty of time. When time came to offer extension, we could have offered it, and then see if Deron accepted. It is idiotic to assume he wouldn't. He gave no indication of that. But, if he did, then maybe we consider trading him, like Denver. Instead we traded him so early, we didn't even get a chance to offer an extension. If this is not jumping the guy, I don't know what is.
 
I'm thinking i'll probably move with the Jazz to Las Vegas. I've been thinking about a change of scenery, and then I'll at least know some people indirectly in the city.

That bothers me a lot too. Seems really reactionary. They didn't even have discussions with DWill. Maybe he is too impossible to have discussions with, but reports are that he was stunned about this. Imagine Utah won the last 3 under Corbin. Think this trade goes down? I don't.

Maybe He would have opted out. Maybe there would be no next season adn we lose him for nothing! We just got the 2010 #3 pick, NJ's 2011 first, and Devin Harris. This wasn't that bad for trading a guy that is not guaranteed to sign an extension with NJ.

Amen. Some people a little over emotional about this.
 
There is no way to know if this trade is good or bad. If we can turn Harris and this years pick into Stephen Curry we will be on the right track. We also have the assets to get Danny Granger now. I have a feeling we are not done dealing. 3 years down the road we may know how we did in this trade. Overall, I'm pretty excited. There was a very good chance Deron was leaving anyways.
