vext Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Nets are on brink of getting Deron Williams in 3-team deal that will send Derrick Favors, Devin Harris and picks to Utah according to Yahoo. Looks like Favors got pulled from practice. I hope we can still pull off a trade for a PG in the next 24 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vext Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Damn, you beat me to it by a minute. Crazy trade. Wish we could have pulled Deron somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators AHF Posted February 23, 2011 Moderators Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 (edited) If that happens, they should thank their lucky stars they didn't get Carmelo. Talk about a huge week for the Nets. They get the Knicks to kick in a bunch of extra consideration for Melo and then go out and deal for a superior player in Deron. I doubt this happens but it would be a coup for NJ. Between this and Sloan stepping down, you can say "welcome to irrelevancy Utah!"

Supporter Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 I'm so damn pissed right now. Nets got Deron for Favors and Harris, are people really that high on favors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 If we had 2 players that could match Harris and Favors plus a high draft choice I'm sure we could have pulled this off too but we don't. Hope Deron will be happy in NJ with he and Lopez and nobody else ... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I was gonna say...what could we have offered? Josh Smith straight up? Jamal's expiring contract? A package of Marvin, JC2, and a couple non-lottery picks? Sorry, but we don't have the pieces to offer anything remotely close to Harris (borderline All-Star PG in his prime), Favors (the #3 overall pick in the most recent draft, with huge upside), and almost certainly higher draft picks than we'll have. The Jazz weren't looking to cut costs, and they'd be crazy to prefer anyone we have save Horford instead of Favors/Harris.

I just don't understand the motivation for NJ here unless they absolutely hate Harris and see no future with Favors. I am a huge DW fan but I don't see NJ as being better off now than they were ... Utah on the other hand I really like this move considering that DW wanted out as this will go a long way toward keeping talent on their team.

NJHAWK Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 I would assume Deron has agreed to some kind of extension with NJ? I'm so damn pissed right now. Nets got Deron for Favors and Harris, are people really that high on favors? Folks were that high on Marvin once upon a time. Im not comparing the 2 players ( Marv and Favors ) but I would shutter to see a list of trades the Hawks turned down for Marvin over the years.

Premium Member Sothron Posted February 23, 2011 Premium Member Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 I am furious. We should have offered anyone on our roster in any configuration to get Deron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJHAWK Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 (edited) Real gm says its a done deal. I think I would rather have Harris, Favors and 2 lotto picks than Deron. Edited February 23, 2011 by NJHAWK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators AHF Posted February 23, 2011 Moderators Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 I think this will be a disaster for NJ but talk about a different world in terms of the hype surrounding Deron and Carmelo getting traded. What I don't understand is why you wouldn't ship out Deron to keep Jerry Sloan if you were only going to get rid of Deron a few weeks later.

yungsta Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 wow this superstar trade came out of NO WHERE but anyone else glad he didnt go to the knicks??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin capstone21 Posted February 23, 2011 Admin Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 WOW!!! NJ really made it happen here. They got a better deal and better player then Melo and traded less. Great job by their organization. I wish we had the pieces to get him but they would need a pg in return and we just don't have one to offer. I am dissappointed that Harris is not available anymore. We need to focus on Felton now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should have offered anyone on our roster in any configuration to get Deron. I would have offered anyone on our roster save Horford to get Deron. That wouldn't change the fact that the Nets could still offer more. Favors/Harris/lottery picks > JJ + non-lottery picks Favors/Harris/lottery picks >> Smoove + non-lottery picks Favors/Harris/lottery picks >>>>> Marvin/JC2/Teague + non-lottery picks I think this will be a disaster for NJ but talk about a different world in terms of the hype surrounding Deron and Carmelo getting traded. What I don't understand is why you wouldn't ship out Deron to keep Jerry Sloan if you were only going to get rid of Deron a few weeks later. Agreed on all fronts.

buckeye242424 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 (edited) Deron to the Nets for D. Harris and Favors....might be some picks in there, but that's the meat of the trade. Damn, the East just keeps getting better and better. Utah is gonna have to get rid of a big, they're not going to keep Milsap, Jefferson, and Favors. Ooopss..sorry guys...already posted. My fault.

Premium Member Vol4ever Posted February 23, 2011 Premium Member Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 I bet we could have traded Josh Smith for DWill since they are saying that Utah started trying to trade Deron over a month ago. Ok Hawks, why didnt we get in on that one? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
