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

Wow, we just lost probably the only superstar in NBA who prefers to Utah to NY/NJ area. Or to any other destination for that matter. Given these circumstances, I am beginning to think it's not Gasol's trade, but this one that might be the worst trade in NBA history.

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.

He didn't tear it up in NCAA either. In fact he never tore it up against any competition he played against, even against similarly aged one in NCAA.

The teams he played against were composed of all freshmen?
 
Ty Corbin talking about the trade like he is talking about watering the lawn.


"I like Deron, he helped us win games."
 
just thought I'd share comments from Matt Mitnick's twitter, in case anybody still cares...

anyhoooo.....
 
The best thing about this trade so far: the band is getting back together. I mean, how long since a thread has had tatermoog, The Pearl, and Doc Cherno all in it?? :-)
 
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.

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.
