Jazz trade Devin Harris to Atlanta for Marvin Williams (merged)

No way that this team isn't better after this series of moves. Hopefully this means no more CJ, Howard, or Bell, EVER.
 
Hollinger not liking the trade from Jazz point of view. He thinks we should at least be getting a draft pick for our trouble.

May be KOC knows something we don't about Williams?

Personally I think if he can knock down those 3's on a consistent basis and can help with wing rebounding & provide defensive effort, he'll be worth it.

From Hollinger's Analysis of the trade:

However, Utah baffles me. The Jazz just took on an extra year of Marvin Williams at $7.5 million, and I have no idea why. While Williams isn't a bad player, he's not worth this amount and he does little to solve Utah's twin needs of perimeter shooting and real backcourt players. While the Jazz have a ton of cap room in 2013-14, Williams eats into it, and that paper cap room is going to disappear in a hurry if Utah tries to retain any of its own free agents -- such as Al Jefferson, Paul Millsap or Mo Williams.

The fact they just handed Danny Ferry a free pass to potential world domination -- and, ironically, paved the path to their getting Paul with a trade of Williams, the man Atlanta took instead of him in the 2005 draft -- is another reason to question this deal; at the least they should be getting a first-round pick for their trouble.

meh... One mediocre player for another. Not earth shattering trade in anyway. Marvin is not a winner, gets injured quite often and is soft. I guess we needed to get rid of one of our PG's and that's the best KOC was able to find. Does not make us any better or worse. Guess that means no AK back in Utah.
 
The key here is that the Jazz made their team better and got some value for Harris. A week ago the Jazz had Devin Harris and a TPE. Now they have a PG and SF that complement what they want to do, without tying up their financial flexibility. There are better SFs in the league than Marvin Williams, but the Jazz weren't going to get one of them without giving up more than Harris, and without hurting their flexibility.
 
I think Marvin is a clear upgrade. Hollinger is a numbers guy. As stated many times in this thread, Marvin played with a bunch of chuckers on one of the poorest run clubs in the league so I think his numbers are a bit misleading. I predict Willaims will be here for quite sometime.

Yes I agree. Plus Hollinger points towards us needing to re-sign Jefferson, Millsap and Mo Williams. There is absolutely no way we'll be re-signing Jefferson IMO. Millsap & Williams - may be at the right price.
 
I like this trade. Marvin Williams isn't great, but he is a hell of a lot better than any current SF we have.

Now it's time to read through 18 pages of bitching.
 
Also, now we have 2 #3 picks and a #2 pick. Talk about ****ing (at one point perceived) talent.

Because what we had was working?

Yes. The guys just needed a chance to play together. They never had a training camp, Harris got banged up a bit, Raja was hurt, Howard was hurt. And Watson and CJ missed time. I simply cannot believe KOC is making changes. The team, as is, MADE the playoffs. Training camp and another year together and who knows...the Jazz could have been champs!

KOCBegone!!!!
