Anyone want Deron Williams?

Ok, he's just an example - and likely this is meant to be (although quite
misguided IMO) an inspirational ploy by Jazz owner Larry Miller, but here's
his recent quote about his entire Utah team...

When people over at CL talked about the big trade going down, and someone mentioned Boozer, I hoped we could snag Williams from them. Resign DG and send out something like...Mihm, DG, Sasha and a 1st

The Jazz should be kicking themselves for passing on Chris Paul, maybe even throwing themselves on their swords, but it would still be stupid to trade Williams after only one season. I think it's safe to say he won't be the heir to Stockton they were hoping for, but the dude still has some game.

But yeah, if Miller wants to turn over his entire roster, I'll take AK for Odom. Throw in Walton, since they seem to love slow white guys over there.

Palacio is better!! Let's get him instead with Booz.

Paul or Felton > Deron Williams

Agreed on Paul being better, but didn't we all pretty much know that
before they even came to the league?

Williams still has plenty of potential and could be a solid starter.

Not saying he's some savior.

But a lineup of...

Deron/Smush
Kobe/Jackson
Lamar/Luke
Boozer/Turiaf
(Mihm or Kwame)/Bynum

I put "Mihm or Kwame" because one of those two would have to be the
primary in an outgoing trade. Honestly, ya might have to package LO.

I'm not (although I did a couple weeks back) crunching the actual
trade numbers here.

Just sayin', if we could keep LO and add Booz and Deron, we're a pretty
formidable team all of a sudden - especially if we still have Mihm (or
Kwame for you Kwame lovers) to start at center.

i doubt the jazz will give him up. miller probably just said that to fire up the team.

I'd be happy to take Deron off their hands - don't think it'll happen, but would love to.

Miller is an idiot. It's hard enough to get players to want to come to Utah without him publicly humiliating his players.

They aren't going to trade AK or Deron.

If you look in the general NBA forum you'll see there's a thread about Millers comments. He used to say the same stuff about Malone and Stockton.

Williams would fit perfectly with what we got going on. Good ballhandler, tough, can hit the open shot and most importantly can defend.

Odom, DG, Sasha, Maimi Pick, Future Pick...AK47, Boozer, D. Will, cash...or maybe just Boozer and D. Will for Odom and Sasha or something...I don't care....maybe Kwame can play as a tall SF if Odom were traded....
