Next move: Trade Okur and Jefferson. Both are a waste of life. And money.
The Jazz are trading D-Will to New Jersey!?
- Thread starter YB85
- Start date
I am not so sure. With new billionaire ownership in place (who actually is a former ball player), they got a boat load of money to spend, and they already have 2 great young players to build around and a lot of CAP space. Plus, they have all their picks after this year. NJ is not in a bad position to rebuild. Smart money is on NJ winning title before Utah at this point.

Great? Lopez sucks. Have you watched him play or looked at his stats this year?
Exactly. These are not your fathers Nets. That guy has said over and over he wants to win...is he willing to spend the money? Yes.

Not sure, either. My money is on DWill going to another team after next season.

Think it was a GREAT move. Some argue he's the best point guard in the league and everyone agrees he's one of the top 3. He's young. Elite PGs are almost impossible to get via trade or free agency. He'll have a bigger impact in NJ than Melo would have. I know that Donnie Walsh preferred Williams to Melo. The Nets got the better deal.
Will the Nets be able to extend Williams

Not until this summer. However after that who knows. If Williams doesn't sign an extension, he can opt out in 2012 and be a free agent. There will be a lot of interest, but Nets will have his Bird Rights and under any new CBA deal, they'll have the advantage.
DWill was concerned with Utah not resigning Boozer and letting Brewer go, you think when he get to Jersey and see's Prokorov's commitment to winning he will eventually sign? If nothing else the Nets will spend money.

True. They also have a young center in Brook Lopez. But they are a little stuck after that. They wasted a lot of money this summer on role players like Travis Outlaw, Johan Petro and Anthony Morrow. They won't have max cap space in 2012 to add another star unless they are able to move some players next year. So their path toward getting much better is still a little unclear.

Maybe I am missing the vision of this deal (if any) but it seems like the future draft picks attained aren't blowing anyone away. isn't next year's draft a weak one anyway? i really hope there is some follow up to this deal, because as is.....dang. i mean, why not include memo or have them throw in morrow or another asset?

Hey don't hate on Jefferson. It's not his fault the Jazz wanted to play two power fowards.
But trade them. Make us young !

I'm sorry but the Jazz need to 1) trade Jefferson's fatass and then 2) Go hard after JVG this off-season.
A frontcourt of Millsap, Favors, Fes, and Elson have good defensive potential and per that tweet above, we need an identity. JG will bring us one that focuses on defense.

What gamble? NJ did not gamble anything. This rape is as one sided as they come. With Deron and Lopez, plus CAP room and a billionaire owner, moving to NY, and having all picks after this year, Nets are on great shape. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same about Jazz.

They just traded two of those picks, Lopez is VASTLY overrated, and there's no guarantee DWill will re-sign there.
I dont know man. It depends on what the Nets get done in the next year or so...That owner wants to spend money.
I looked at his stats. Watched only few games, where he looked good. But he is the best player in NJ. If he sucks, what does that tell you about what we got back?

THis is hardly rape. Denver may of raped the new york knicks, but Jazz and NJ had a decent trade.
wow....
can't even begin to process this, my brain feels dizzy
I honestly thought (at least up until the turmoil this season has been) that Deron would be content in SLC, provided the team was competitive with the best in the conference. I also think many of you have dumped on Deron way too much - I know many think I'm a D-Will homer, and to some extent I am, but I also think I see him in a realistic light. He has phenomenal basketball skills, I do think he lacks in some important leadership areas due to his intensity and a somewhat abrasive (at least on the outside) personality and I've said this a zillion times, he really needs someone to ride shot-gun for him. For a while here, he had that in his teammates, but I think it was gone when Boozer left (and Korver to a lesser degree).
good point
Gotta laugh (or cry) at that
anyone wondering about Favors, compare GaTech's record last year with their record this year, with essentially the same personnel, having one more year of experience, the only difference is no Derrick Favors (unless you're considering Gani Lawal a major stud)
ok, Joker, do we laugh or cry?
