Jazz listed as possible trade destination for Derrick Williams

So what's the story with this guy? He shoots 35% now, and 60% in college? Too much of tweener? Once the size and athleticism level evened out a bit he didn't have the skill level to get some bunnies?

I wouldn't mind him on the cheap as I saw play a few times in college and he was interesting. That's partly what this season should be about now really. Just bringing guys that you might find interesting that are scrubbing away elsewhere on the cheap and giving them an audition. Him and that white guy on the Kings seem like two prime candidates.

He's not a tweener really. Measured out long and is heavy enough to play in the post. A lot of the easy points he got in college, like lobs and put backs, just aren't there for him in the NBA. He'll never be great but if the cost to audition him is low I'm all for it.

Id love Burks and Marvin for Williams and Shved.

I still feel like we are giving up more there. Williams and Shved don't have any production whatsoever. Bigger unknowns. Plus, they are both on the books for next year. Get Shabazz Muhammed too while we are at it and make them take JL3 and I would be in.

Throw in Love too.

What's the point of Williams and Shved? They don't make the Jazz worse now and don't make the Jazz better long term. No reason to make that trade. Marvin for Derrick straight up isn't much different. Instead of finding a FA next year to replace Marvin, you just get him now. Marvin at least helps Minny in the present, so there's some incentive for Minnesota to do it. Derrick does nothing for the Jazz and his body of work doesn't suggest there's long term impact, which is disappointing for me since I was really high on Derrick when he was drafted.

I said throw in Love, a multiple all star.

Excuse me but why do we want to trade Marvelous Marv? Isn't he the only guy who comes to work with his hardhat, and expires next year?
 
Sorry folks.

Timberwolves, I'm told, are in advanced discussions with Sacramento on a deal that would swap Derrick Williams for Luc Mbah A Moute

David Kahn teams haven't exactly been incredible at developing talent... might not be DWills fault... its not a bad trade if its Marvin Williams for Derrick Williams straight up, maybe Brandon Rush for more filler. Doesnt hurt the tank, and might work out down the line for building a stacked team.
 
Jazz have their roster and long term payroll just where they want it.
Be surprised if they make any deal right now.

The same could be said for the Jazz...Corbin hasn't developed any of the young players into anything remotely valuable on the trade market.

+1 its likely the only reason why we're on list of possible destinations is we have cap space or will have (upcoming), even though it should be set in stone for now.
Id only trade for Dwill2 if Rush or Marvin, RJ are involved, our draft picks for next two years should be off the table
 
Trade him for Biedrins.
Biedrins is never going to get any time for Jazz.
Ask for a first round pick cause it clears out money for them.
 
It's funny. All the reasons why people want Williams are the same reasons everybody used when we got Marvin. Two Williams' drafted too high and aren't as good as everyone wants them to be. I'll take the one that expires after this year, thank you very much.
