Deron Williams to the Nets
Ok, just read an article on NBA.com quoting Jazz owner Greg Miller. Looks like watching Lebron and Bosh leave their franchises for nothing has psyched him out enough to jump on the first half decent deal he saw!
I'd be pretty angry if I was a Jazz fan, because their owner just threw in the towel and gave away his franchise player just in case he might leave one and a half seasons from now!
If you give in that easily, you'll forever be an also-ran. I guarantee Big Al doesn't want to be there anymore. And what star player will want to come to the Jazz in future, knowing that they don't really think they can hang on to their the best players?
Larry is turning in his grave right now!


WTF! I cannot believe the Jazz have traded D-Will for Favors and Harris! Now they basically have to move either Jefferson or Millsap or both. And Harris is okay, but why give up one of the best three PGs in basketball for these two?
Something must be seriously wrong at the Jazz. What has Deron done to get himself shipped out?


Geez they kept this quiet right up until the trade! I didn't even know DWill was being shopped!
Utah will still be around the mark for the 7/8 seed in the west. They still have a pretty deep frontcourt and Harris is a reasonable PG.

What is interesting is now, both Denver and Utah's positions in the Western Conference playoff race could change, could it leave the door ajar for teams like Phoenix and Houston to make a late playoff run?

These are the sorts of trades I would have assumed someone like Minnisota would have tried with their collection of PG contracts etc.
Is there something going on with that NJ side that isn't out in the open yet. You don't just trade away for D-Will to a team where their star player is a 3rd year Centre.
I'm assuming that there is going to be more to this during the 2011-2012 pre-season.
