What's new

Rumor I heard about DWill

I'll personally fly in to SLC every week and mow his lawn if he'll come back. Clean his pool, wash his car, whatever it takes. But he's not coming back. He's going where Dwight goes unless it can't be worked, and then he'll go to Dallas.

I'd like him back only if he has his attitude of a few years ago. Before he soured. We don't want to introduce something that kills the young guys confidence and ruins this team chemistry.

My perception of him hasn't changed -- I honestly think he wants to win more than most players in the league. Some guys just hope it happens, Deron is desperate for a title. I really love the dude.
 
You of all people should know......

He is never coming back.

Really think your idea of a Westbrook/Deron swap could also work. If NJ can't land Dwight, they just can't risk letting Deron leave for nothing. And you know Deron would sign off on an OKC extension.

Oh yeah, OKC is a possibility. Small market so Amy's happy too.
 
I'd love the Deron of 4 years ago, but the truth is, he's become a rich man's Arroyo. He's in love with himself and his dribbling prowess.

I don't see it that way at all. Last year Deron was in a position of watching his playoff team turn into a team that just wasn't very good. That put him in a situation where he had to try everything he could to try to win. Nothing worked, and obviously he got extremely frustrated. People want to hate him for his attitude, but I doubt Jazz fans would be happy with a Carmelo type player who is always smiling, win or lose. That attitude that Deron has, is the very reason he was, and still is one of my favorite players. Dude has an absolute fire inside him that I wish all of our players had. I want my guys to hate losing with a passion like Deron does. Even if he ends up looking like an *** at times, at least you always know how much he cares about winning.
 
Rumor has it that Dwill and Sloan blew up at each other because Dwill had found out that Sloan had been nailing his wife behind his back. Amy only wants to come back to Utah so she can get some more of Phil Johnson.

Read this man.
 
I don;t mind him being upset and I love the fire he had. I hate the way he expressed it. He did so in a way that magnified the problems.
Agree, gojazz. Nothing wrong with having passion and being upset. But how did he make his teammates better? How did he help the coaching staff? Deron had passion, but he wasn't a leader. When the going got tough, he became a malcontent, not a constructive force. Look at the on-court behavior with Hayward. You just don't call out a player like that, especially a rookie. You don't tear down your coaches and create a negative atmosphere in the locker room.

Would have been much better had he requested a trade. Then it would have at least been in the open. Miller and KOC could have tried to intervene. Instead, we discover the feud with Sloan had been festering for months and it came to a sudden, ugly end.
 
Deron is so coming back. My girlfriend, Clair Voyeur, has seen it .. was a pre-animated version, but I trust her.
 
Deron's not coming back...but I sure wish he was on the team for the last 14 seconds of OT vs. the Lakers. The Jazz have nobody that can win a game with seconds remaining on the clock...Gordon Hayward? C'mon, was that the best we could do.
