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

[tatermoog]

Are you sure that's his? Seems kind of a low # of followers even for a Nets player.

Good point, it's not listed as a confirmed account. Steve Luhm reposted one of his tweets, so I just assumed. Probably not.

Ty Corbin talking about the trade like he is talking about watering the lawn.


"I like Deron, he helped us win games."

Your like the Steve Luhm of Jazzfanz...

 

[Borat]

The teams he played against were composed of all freshmen?

No, not identical age, but similar. Hayward as a freshman was about to get his team ranked. Favors has done nothing.

Sloan then said he had to "go rake some leaves right now."

I don't think there neccesarily has to be another trade just in that so they can bring Favors along at his own pace and not thrust into more time and pressure then needed. May just decide to let AJ, Sap, AK, Favors get all the time at the 4-5 spots and see how it plays out and then make a move next season if/when needed.

I will say this does stick it to everyone who gives KOC crap for playing it safe and predictable. This trade was anything but that.

 

[Borat]

Why do people actually believe this about him? I really don't think many guys would have a problem playing for the Jazz once they are here and figure out that it's not that bad. It's the thought of playing in Utah that the Jazz are combating.

Indeed.

An interesting thing is that Nets were about to get rid of Harris in a straight salary dump to Dallas for expiring contract. In other words, they felt Harris was not even worth his contract and wanted to dump him. Instead we gave them DWill. All they had to do is also part with a few picks of Gordan Hayward's caliber. If you are a Nets fan, it's like swapping a bad girlfriend you were going to dump anyway, for a supermodel. Regretfully, the Jazz are on the recipient end of this swap.

Hey Borat, we get it. You don't like the trade.

YES!!! OMFG! YES..So happy now...so so so happy. wow. the jazz pulled one off. Deron is, without a doubt, top 2-3 PG in league BUT NOT a leader, sorry it is true.
TOP PG do NOT win rings....ask the Lakers.
So ecxited to see what all comes out of this, if anything else is in the works.
Also, what so all the people who say the Jazz will do nothing in trades. This is an all out attemp to turn direction. Good choice too. Favors? He is going to be a total stud.
Again, I am soo happy. Nice job KOC.

That was perhaps the most noncommital blurb I've ever read.

Perfect.

Trying to think of the proper word when I heard the news.

I think gobsmacked is apt.
