Is it really that far fetched to see D will in Jazz uni again?

And it's not like we make a whole lot of trades anyways. Teams would trade with us still as long as we had what they wanted..

KOC's a man with integrity. It'll almost be like it's against KOC's religion to do such a thing.

Cmon, really?

that's why you only have 0 rep.

I don't know what's worse, his 34 post count and zero reps or your 1184 post count and 1 rep. My math-sense is tingling and tells me that were there really an accurate measurement on reps that you would be so far negative that the system would auto ban you...

Oh yeah? The biggest sports story to come out of this state in the past 12 months was the very public Malone/Greg Miller spat. Which wasn't really about sports at all. But it was public and it was drama.

The national media - especially ESPN - loves drama. KOC and Deron seemingly pulling the wool over everyone's eyes and essentially stealing Derrick Favors and Enes Kanter from the Nets... that's drama at it's finest. It would be all over every broadcast. First and 10, PTI, Around the Horn, Jim Rome, etc etc. It would be the lead story. It would be the biggest story of the 2012 offseason.

I'm the first one to say the national media doesn't care about Utah. But this wouldn't just be about Utah. We all assume that Deron is going to wind up in Dallas or L.A., but that doesn't mean those are the only teams people are going to talk about. Every single team in need of a point guard are going to be chasing him in some way. Think about that, and realize just how many people would suddenly notice Utah if they pulled of a coup like that. It's not just about Utah signing him here, it's about all the other teams that don't sign him. Signing in Utah, he spurns the Nets, Lakers, Mavs, Magic, Knicks, and any other team that shows interest.

The national media would care. The major market media would care. The NBA would certainly care, hell they'd likely launch an investigation even though they wouldn't have a damn leg to stand on.

What a load of bullsh*t. Not your assesment of the situation, but the situation itself, if it might present itself. As far as I know, nobody forced the Nets to offer us anything for DWill. We didn`t trick them regarding his contract situation. They were perfectly willing to take their chances on him and if he leaves it is their problem, not ours. If he would happen to choose to come back to Utah, that would be his choice and his choice alone.

Definitely. American television "journalism" at its finest. It's rarely about telling the truth. Rather, it's about telling an interesting story. Saying "Deron Williams and the Utah Jazz pulled the wool over everyone's eyes!" is way more interesting.

Pay no mind. We've had actual opposing team trolls that trolled less than BluesRocker.

haha thanks, i really am not a troll. I think the Jazz are a great team, i just happen to be a celtics fan first, but I'm interested in keeping up with the Jazz as well. Not to mention this forum is MUCH better than any celtics one i've ever been on
 
Doesn't the mere possibility of Deron coming back to Utah come back, primarily, to NJ rolling the dice really hard and likely losing? If the plan all along was to come back to Utah, why bother with all of the Dwight Howard non-sense? Is Dwight in on all of this too?

Oh yeah, with Dwight staying in Orlando for another year, I can't imagine that Deron can seriously consider anything that the Nets throw at him.

From the moment Dwight opted in for next season, I've assumed that it was a calculated move directly related to Deron's future. Either the Magic are going to push hard for Deron in free agency, or Dwight and Deron (or rather, their agents) have realized that the easiest way for Dallas to get both players is to take on Deron next season, and Dwight the season after that.
