Will Deron survive in Turkey?

Yeah, I would say Greece was the 1st or 2nd best paying league at one time. The owners of a couple of the teams are loaded, but the massive economic issues Greece has had has diminished the pay their.

yes,greece was the 1st untill last year,but because of the financial crises they not gonna invest like last year.
 
Maybe he met memo's wife, Yeliz, and saw the Carl's Jr commercial with Miss Turkey and wanted to hang out with some women from Turkey. Yes, I know he's married, but this is the NBA and precedent has been set over and over again.

The Deron shakeup was a blessing in disguise. Sloan would have retired this year or next anyways....he is turning 70. There was also no doubt Deron Williams would not be resigning, he has about 5 prime years left and is going to want a good chance at a ring, even if it means he takes less money. So, sssuming there is a full year lockout, the Jazz traded about 30 games of Deron for:

Devin Harris
Derrick Favors
Enes Kanter
Alec Burks (with Deron here we don't get #12 and probably end up with a lesser potential player like a Morris twin)
Michael Gilchrist (likely choice from the GS pick)

You can't ask for a better haul than that.

Wow that's impressive.

I'm still going to boo him, but I think I will thank him at the same time for Harris, Favors,Kanter , and burks and who ever we pick with the GS pick.

I thought he had reformed his ways and is now a good Christian. :)
 
Gordon Monson is about 10,000 times better at his writing job than his radio job. Here's another great article. Can you see DWill sitting around in a third rate hotel after a rickety bus trip with the reward of playing second rate competition and hopefully getting paid for it? If the lockout has to happen at least we can have the entertainment of seeing how long he can endure this. My guess is he comes up with an excuse to cancel his contract long before the lockout ends.

He will probably be living a more luxury life than he was living in US because the turkish rich life is really rich, poor is too poor though. And i think its the biggest transfer made by a European team ever even though he will probably not be playing more than half of the season.
I believe Deron will lift that team to 2-3 higher levels and as it has been said Kobe will probably be joining the same team. They may dominate most of the games but they will be ruined when the lockout is over. The top teams or the more serious teams in Europe bring nba players whose contract is over. Besiktas made transfer rather for show business not for the game.

P.S. Right now Turkish league seems to be second best after Spanish in Europe, 2 greek teams still are one of the best in Europe but recently they are losing power due to economical crisis while Turkish teams are investing more in basketball.
 
As I remember, international refs suck worse than ours. So no.

Duron is going to spend most of his time laying under the basket and yelling at the refs.


I wouldn't say international refs are worse. They are probably just as bad. However, the international game allows a lot more contact on the perimeter as well as down low (they actually let players play). Deron won't do as well, and he won't like it.
