I'm sure it would cross his mind, and he would consider it. But not to the degree he is with the Nets. It's more than just getting to play with a top PG, it's getting to play for one of the richest owners in the NBA and getting to be the face of a big-ish franchise when they relocate to Brooklyn. With the Nets he will get to compete for titles AND sell his brand more. In Utah he would have only had one of the two.

I also heard his Adidas deal is going to be massive partly because he will be in Brooklyn in a big market. True?

 

[JJ Rage]

I think you'd be seeing a situation much like Lebron two years ago, where several teams would be clearing out cap space in an attempt to get both of them. New Jersey and Dallas would likely both be in the mix.

I think KOC was/is smart enough to know the likelihood of attracting big-time free agents.

no

 

[Jazz Spazz]

I'm pretty sure DWill talked to Howard about it before, and he didn't want to come here and play even with DWill.

 

[Weezur]

Lol, no.
Utah's a small market, remember?

 

[BabyPeterzz]

It's kinda like you and your hot girlfriend.....

She wants to bang me. But you're kinda of boring and not very flashy. So we move to Dallas so we can bang under the bright lights. Plus, everything is bigger in Dallas.

Get it?

no.

 

[Stifle Tower]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Actually we already have Howard. Am I missing something?

 

[carolinajazz]

...Jazz would never pay or afford two massive max contracts like Dwight and Deron, so no, it would not have happen.

Kinda like when we had Deron and AK?

 

[chawx]

When the Jazz were knocking on the door in the 90's and they had, arguably, the best tandem in NBA history and one of the best coaches of his time, we're they ever able to land big name free agents? Or were players saying **** like "You go play in Utah!" (Ron Harper)?

If big name free agents weren't willing to join that team and almost guarantee a 'chip or two, what on God's green Earth would make you think they would come over to U-tar to play for a rookie coach with only one really good player??

...yeah, and that was a BIG mistake! Set us back 5 years!

I was answering the OP's question, about if we had DWill still would Dwight come to UT.... so, the "one really good player" I was talking about was DWill, when he was here.

As it stands now, we have a collection of good players, and some nice young talent—and that's about it.

The only reason your not on my ignore list is you amuse me.
