The dude couldn't wait to get out of Denver so i doubt he would of been happy going to SLC.
Zero chance he would of wanted to come here. He was on a playoff team in Denver and left it and being part of a successful team to put up numbers in big city. He didn't care if he wins or loss s and DWill and Sloan was not like that. I have met Sloan's family on the farm with my husband before. His family is from that area of Southern Illinois, Little egypt they call it but idk it was a little hills there but not much else lolI'm guessing just a 3-way with Utah. Harris probably goes to Denver with Favors and draft picks and we get Melo.
I would have hated the traded without keeping D-Will and especially with Al Jefferson still being on the team, but man, D-Will/Melo would have been dangerous. I think Melo would have been really good in Sloan's system if he could improve his passing a smidge.
When Melo pushed off on Bryon Russell to sink the game winning shot of the 98 finals, it was a christening moment for him being fully established as the Jazz killer.You do realize you just lost your chance at having a dynasty that would have equaled the NY Yankees.
YOU BLEW IT!
As teams make runs for the playoffs and the Finals, Melo is the most desired chip in all the NBA. The guy is called MeloTheJazzKiller for f***s sake! If you meet Portland in the playoffs Melo will kill you! You had a chance to make Melo an ally. Like we made the Russians an ally in WWII, Melo could have been your Stalin. The Jazz with Melo would have defeated the Nazi Nets and the Mussolini Lakers. Now that ain't happening.
YOU BLEW IT!!
This will go down as the most disastrous non-trade in sports history.
Oh, you Jazz make me laugh.
