Sources: Utah has expressed interest in re-acquring Deron Williams

I say bring D-Will in, put him in a game, and let Hayward chuck the basketball at him. Then you can immediately pull him from the game and cut him.

god damn, that's one of the dumbest things I've ever read on this site. You're obviously still running from some childhood traumas... holding on to **** this long usually means something dark is lurking. Right, Dalamon?

I think it was a joke...

There are stars available, but to get Butler, George, or Lillard, you likely have to give up Hayward or Gobert. If you give up Gobert you lose your team identity, and I'm not sure, if we are talking about winning more games, George, Butler or Lillard help you win more games.

Lillard is an unmitigated dumpster fire on defense (albeit a terrific offensive player) and Hayward is having a better season than George according to basically every advanced metric. Butler probably a little better than Hayward, but probably not worth trading Hayward for him and Bulls would probably not do that anyway.

If you are suggesting we can get these stars without trading Hayward or Gobert lets go for it, but I am quite incredulous anything else we have gets it done.

It all boils down to whether or not Portland wants to trade Lillard. If they do, I think Utah can get Lillard and keep Hayward and Gobert.

You look at every star that was traded recently: Deron, Paul, Carmelo, Cousins...An offer of Favors, Hood, Exum and some draft picks while taking back Lillard and Leonard...that is a better haul than any other team got for their star.

Favors is a top 5 defensive big man and can score 20 a night.
Hood is a solid starter.
Exum is a top 5 pick that has been injured. He hasn't flamed out, he has been hurt. The potential is still there.
Plus, you'd free up 20 million in cap space.

No one else can offer that.

Is that as bad as your remember it?

If that affected Hayward for anything more than 30s then I'd be happy to see Hayward walk because he's not made of sturdy enough stuff to be part of the same franchise built by Stockton, Malone and Sloan.
 
The fruit is ripe....

Bogut and DWill were not at practice today. Carlisle said with the trade deadline tomorrow, read what you want into it.

I still don't know how I feel about it though.


Will it impact Hill's decision about re-signing with us (if we still want him).


How will it impact Exum? Will he become our 3rd string PG?

Hill will still be our starter even with D-will onboard, so I don't think it will change his feelings about playing for the Jazz. And yes, Exum would be our 3rd String PG, but with the way the Jazz have been cursed with injuries, I honestly think he will still get playing time and he'll now have another savvy vet to learn from.
 
If we do in fact manage to sign Deron Williams, y'all will see that he is still better than George Hill. Besides, Hill is always injured anyways.

Plus, it would only be fitting that our path to to winning a championship in the next couples of years includes bringing D-Will back and Exum realizing his potential :D :D :D

As much as I love D Will and want him back, he's not any less injury prone than George, not even close really.
 
Some have said that it would be better to sign him after the season... we need to take on salary... the market seems tepid on him and I'd rather see how he fits with this group before deciding to sign him in the offseason. The dude is still good and he can play with any of our other guards. I'd rather not rely on Exum in the playoffs and Hills toe is the type of injury that lingers.

We can't get a deal done with Hill on the extension by all accounts so let's not waste the cap space. Mack and a second rounder... let's do it.

They are like the junkyard... between them they have enough spare parts to duct tape this thing together.
 
My guess: the Jazz have a deal in place to get Deron, but are waiting until the last second to try and get Cleveland to up their offer for Shelvin before anything is made official.

The best part will be how mad some posters on this site will be. Direct correlation between people who still hate Dwill on this board and people who suck on this board with few exceptions.

I don't want Deron I think it's too big of a risk. That said as long as he accepts that he is a backup, and that his role is that of an insurance policy and backup then I'd be fine with it. As long it costs a 2nd round pick at the most. Bad enough you're picking up his contract, don't give anything up to acquire him.
