"We generally don't do too much"

I was being pretty sarcastic about Dwill because this interview was only 2 days ago. Calm down people. The point is that Dwill is pleased the Jazz did something.

we are still not there. al jefferson was a genius move but he only replaced booz. we still need to add pieces to add the loss of korver and matthews

Hayward replaces Korver. CJ starts at SG to replace Matthews. AK starts at SF. We need one more wing to add depth. That will be Brewer. And Fes needs to be signed in case Okur isn't ready to go on opening night.

How is he eating those words? He is right in that we "generally" dont do too much. When was the last time we made a big mid-season trade? When was the last time we got a player of this calibre in a trade? Maybe 15yrs back, with Hornacek.

Are you forgetting the Giricek for Korver blockbuster? Or the time we traded for the former #6 pick in the draft. OK, it was Gugliotta and he was WAY past his prime.
 
Maybe Dwill knew about the trade before this interview but was just trying not to give it away. He did say "we need to go out and get another big man". Silly Dwill.

I guess people will believe what that want to believe, no matter how delusional this may be. I mean trade was finalized yesterday and Dallas was the favorite to land Al until very end. How can anyone suggest DWill "knew" about it, when it was one move by Dallas away from not happening (Dallas insisted on Wolves taking Carrol's deal)? Not even KOC could have known he would get it done. And if he didn't, there are no good options out there. When KOC beat Dallas for Al, Dallas got Chandler. Yes, Chandler was the next best big guy available. So, don't come here and tell me that Deron "knew" about the trade last week, when Jazz finally pulled ahead of Dallas to land Jefferson on Monday night and finished the deal this week.
 
Nice try Bean boy at trying to piss some people off. DWill is "involved" with every move, but thats because the Jazz want Deron to retire as a Jazz man. Maybe Deron is asked about certain players, but they don't ask him "Is it ok if we do this or go after this guy?"

You sure were convincing that you thought Deron knew/expected something like this coming. Here is something interesting I found though in deseret news: "Discussions heated up Monday, though, after the Timberwolves recently acquired Miami power forward Michael Beasley and their weekend trade talks with Dallas about Jefferson fell apart." My first thought was, why did we wait for Monday to heat up the discussions. I mean Dallas discussions fell through, because we entered the talks with better offer. Could VJ be right, and Deron's expression of frustration and jokes than nothing much was happening with us actually did light a fire under KOC's ***? Not that I care now, as to me all that matters is the result, and KOC did deliver, but VJ might have a point here.

dwill is spot on..This is the first big move the jazz have made since getting dwill...

This is true... and it took KOC long enough to do it. Seems like the Wes Matthews offer lit a fire under someones cheeks too... since Utah wasn't in the running, or showing interest in ANYONE prior to a couple of days ago. I give KOC credit for getting the Big Al deal done... but come on, the 'KOC is a genius' statements are a bit over the top.

They are far from finished... we need a solid shooting guard, and Brewer isn't going to cut it. Expecting Hayward to step in and immediately fill Korver's shoes is asking an awful lot from a rookie. He may show some promise and give some decent minutes, but I have a feeling he's going to get beat up a bit, at least for the first year.... maybe two.
