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

Works delightfully with the username.

Dude, I've been a fan since 1983. How about you?

Good, jump off the bandwagon and don't let the door hit you in your fickle *** on your way out. Gaining Favors, Harris and possibly 2 very good draft picks for an unhappy "superstar" who was going to leave anyway is absolutely best case scenario in my opinion.

Nothing fickle about it. The Jazz organization messed this up royally. I can see why they'd do it from a business standpoint, but I miss the management that knew how to hold a team together.

I really have no idea what to think of this. I love Favors' potential. Harris is solid. The multiple draft pick thingy is neato. It looks like a fantastic rebuild on the fly. But I really, really, really hate losing Deron.

I will miss DWill, but his attitude is a bitch.

 

[BENTLEY]

Getting Favors AND Curry would be awesome.

Deron = Jay Cutler -- very astute.

Since I like YB more, I'll keep my posting in this thread 'til merge. From SLTrib Twitter: "Jazz first looked into trading Williams about a month ago, source says, when relationship between him, Sloan was deteriorating."

Which makes this all make a bit more sense.

Well he was probably leaving soon anyways. Might as well get something now. Jazz get a better deal than the Nuggets did for their star and new draft picks could be great. Maybe Utah can grab Dwight or someone else big in a year or two.

 

[memo is money]

If this trade happens, then it's obvious for me that the Jazz will make at least another deal involving one or more of Memo / AK / Millsap. Picks will probably be lottery bound but cannot guarantee good players, whereas NJN will make sure that they get a great talent and skillset with Deron. He is an upgrade over nearly any PG in this league (talent wise), I will continue to admire his game and talents but he will not have my respect and love his personality and attitude. No guts, no glory...

This trade means the Jazz are screwed.

 

[Dread]

Well I didn't see that coming. Looks like KOC defied the past, and went with a big move.

Time will tell whether it was a good one or not.

 

[dipship31]

This trade really isn't finalized yet is it?????

 

[tatermoog]

I have taken it as my official task to stalk CJ Miles's Twitter page until he gets the news.

 

[Archie Moses]

I wonder how Sloan will feel about this when he gets his telegraph at the farm next week.

 

[Okur13]

Holy crap. Looks like a solid trade, but guess we will have to wait to see the full details, and who else is involved
