DERON WILLIAMS TO THE NETS!??!?!

ESPN text:

"Nets acquire All-Star G Deron Williams, send G Devin Harris, F Derrick Favors to Jazz"

On NBA.com,it says, D-Will close to the Nets..

Good trade for the both teams

http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news;_ylt=Agp0R8ku3cVEg2Q0hB3fxL28vLYF?slug=aw-jazzwilliamsnets022311

NETS GET:
Deron Williams

JAZZ GET:
Devin Harris
Derrick Favors
2 First Round Picks
$3 million

And the Nets are close to getting Brandan Wright and Dan Gadzuric from the Warriors for Troy Murphy

.....

wow. I didn't see this coming at all.

I thought the Jazz would wait until the season was over before they started thinking about trading williams. this came out of no where!

but about the trade...

idk who i would say won this.

NJ gave up a lot. D. will is obviously a huge upgrade over Harris, but you also lose Favors and 2 lottery picks.

Utah probably knew Williams wasn't going to stay after next season.. so they did what the Nuggets did.. get as much as they could for their star player.

This will help the Nets in the future though.

uhhh..big deal!!! NOTTTT!

I honestly don't know what to think of this trade.

I didn't see it coming. At least not this season.

Dallas/Portland was trying to get Devin as well.

I think on paper it's a good trade

Deron Williams is one of the best (if not still No.1) point guard in the NBA.He has nice skill set and could everything right.He can make Lopez even more effective as he has proven of the course of his career,he can play the pick n'roll well and now,he's going to have even bigger freedom in New Jersey in terms to create off the dribble,isolate and so on.Nets have a great deal in there and top combo in Lopez and D-Will.

Utah gets well.Devin Harris isn't in the debate for the top point guard in the league, but he was an All-Star few seasons ago which means he can produce on a great level.On the other hand, Favors has a lot of potential and can become a legit big man one day.Question,how much of a playing time will see in Utah,with Milsap,Jeferson and Okur around.

Also,Brandon Wright will be a very good player for Utah if he can get bigger minutes.

Bad for Nets.

They get a Potential filled player in Derrick Favors and put him in a contender, and they get a All-star and put him in a up and coming or was supposed to be an up and coming team...

this trade makes no sense, the nets just want some tickets sold before brooklyn

The Nets will be in good position to sign a free agent this summer.. maybe David West?

Or they can be smart with their roster and hope to be in good position in 2012 to maybe convince Howard to go to Brooklyn.. that's if Howard doesn't sign an extension/isn't traded

The Nets obviously seem to have a plan. LBJ didn't come... went straight for Melo... Melo didn't wanna go there, they got D. Will 2 days later.

what in the fried pancakes?

Holy shit arent those 1st round picks lottery protected....

Harris, Millsap, Jefferson, Favors, lottery protected picks.. the Jazz might bet better than they are now a couple years down the line.

Just if they kept Matthews....

"ESPN Radio - Jazz Writer, Jody Genessy Deron Williams is livid about the trade and has reportedly refused to board a plane bound for New Jersey. Sadly, he will have to accept his fate - trade is finalized".

hEARD about this! Weird. I can feel it. Power is switching to Eastern Conf.

Silly trade

Trade the NBAs best PG for a ok one

They did want to keep Matthews but Portland did a douche move by offering Matthews more than what he was actually worth (he is a good player; but slightly overpaid) so that Utah would not match Portland's offer which ended up working for them.

Anyhoo, mind-blown! This trade is a definite shocker to me!

That Prohkov and Billy King are serious. I like the way they do business, they swing for the fences no games plated. I like that a lot - I think the Nets are going to be relevant again real soon.
