Yeah because there hasn't been any players who have left their teams as free agents for bigger markets recently....

There is no loyalty in the NBA, only teams stuck with guaranteed contracts.
I actually agree. Come on, people, stop jumping on disreputable rumor-mongering like this when there are so many more reasons from reputable sources to throw D-Will under the bus.

I am not sure how much credibility this has.........
First off its a blog. Second nobody posted there name as to who wrote this article? So the guy who could possibly making up this story can't be questioned?
What a punk post some article about this rumor but don't write who said it?
^ This is where this guy loses all credibility. Williams never denied that there was a conflict at halftime. This guy is a liar. Deron openly admitted there was a conflict at halftime. Everyone in the organization admitted that there was a conflict. And everyone in the organization said it didn't even make the top ten conflicts Jerry has had with players or even Deron. They said Jerry had confrontations all the time.
Article is bogus when you catch one of this lies in the article and when they won't even post there own name.

Garbage thread and garbage speculation. F the idiot who tweeted this garbage. Let's focus on the here and now. Until I see or hear Deron EXPLICITLY saying certain things, be about wanting to leave or wanting Sloan gone, or whatever, I will give the guy the benefit of the doubt. D-Will is still the man. He's in a slump offensively, but Utah fans at the game better tread carefully in light of all the negative attention he's been getting as of late, because booing him after all this drama will not help the situation at all.
sounds like something ripped from the script of Goodfellas or The Departed...

But what if we can't stand him and want him gone?

Then boo him. Boo everyone and everything into oblivion. It is the Jazz fans' way, after all. Dunno how many years it will be until we see another PG of his caliber. I'm not saying he shouldn't see boos and flack ad nauseam if there was some concrete evidence to what's been said about him, but as I see it, there is no such evidence. So calling for his head on a plate is too much.
Just curious, what would constitute concrete evidence?

I disagree. PG is stacked. Look around. Almost half the teams in the league have elite level point guards and there is are a few more comming out in this draft.
Unless the Jazz can get another really good player or two and get a good coach and system in place, it's not a particularly attractive place for a star player who wants to win and be in the spotlight to play.
Keep in mind, both Joe Johnson and Shawn Marion left the Suns to make a bit more money when the Suns were favorites to win the west with Nash, Amare, D'Antoni, a fun system, warm weather, etc.
Shaq left Orlando to go to LA after he had taken the Magic to the Finals and wasn't even in his prime yet.
D.Will probably won't stay unless Utah is his best option, both financially and competitively. The Jazz need to make a couple moves.

Seems pretty flimsy. If he said it last offseason he was expectig the jazz to lose alot of their key players and probably didnt know they would acquire jefferson. with al, sap, hayward, evans jazz have a few core players to build around.
A lot of players in the league probably look at what Lebron, Wade and Bosh did last year and envy it. They get to play together, get paid, take over the league, and hang out in Miami. They and their agents probably summed it up in so many words.
That sums this up entirely. But I'm in no hurry to chase the guy off because of some convoluted Knick-homer "journalist". Where's Lebron playing currently?
