The Real reasons D-Will became impatient with the Jazz (and no, it wasn't Sloan or the state of Utah that did him in....)

-Choosing Raja Bell instead of Wesley Matthews
-Choosing Gordon Hayward instead of Paul George

Matthews + George = Could have been our Wings for the next Decade

Players play.
Coaches coach.
GM's pay the guy the owner and accountant say they can afford.
Players who bitch, moan, complain, and blame all their troubles on everyone else get traded to New Jersey.

FWIW, the straw that broke my back with Deron wasn't Torey Ellis, nor "Jerry Who" it was watching him unnecessarily being an *** to a reporter who was asking him an easy, say something nice about your great performance question.

Happy DWill is gone (now that we got back Favors & Kanter).

I wouldn't spend 30% of our Cap on an over-rated PG who can't shoot 3pt (anymore), can't close games with acrobatic drive to the rim (ala Rose) and just whines wayyyyyyyyyy too much. And.. did I mention a bad wrist?

Kanter-Favors-Hayward-Burks are our future now. Deal with it.
 
Literally every single NBA team fan forum can have a thread like this. And honestly, if your team's biggest blunders are the ones you mentioned, that's a pretty well managed franchise.

The Paul George over Gordan Hayward thing is just laughable. They were both rookies and neither one blew it up by the time DWill left last year. So that one is stupid and has no bearing on his satisfaction with the franchise.

Gordan Hayward

Freedom of speach means you can say what you want (within reason). It does not mean that people have to agree or even give a positive response.

The best thing that ever happened to the Jazz was them trading D-Will for Favors Burks Kanter and player yet to be determined. With Williams bad locker room Deron leaves the locker room is all lovey dovey.

Deron was never going to help this team reach championship status. He wasn't a leader, was poison in the locker room, was is insubordinate to coaches. Isn't it interesting that as soon as Deron is traded Hayward starts playing well.

Maybe we can sign this Torey Ellis person.:p
 
Wes has been far from great this year. I have him in 3 fantasy leagues and almost every game I see his boxscore I cringe. I think Burks and Hayward can be better than Wes and George. Also you realize how much more Wes is getting than Raja right? Matching Wes almost certainly would have meant no Big Al.

I have to admit the Wesley Matthews thing has been the back of my mind. If he stayed then our team would have been very different. Maybe Sloan didn't retire until the end of the year. Maybe we don't trade Deron. Who knows what would have happened?

But I am excited about the team we have now.
