Deron Williams To The Nets

[Keller]

The problem is "when he has the balls" turns out to be "almost never". The guy scores 11 points a game, be serious. He's playing with two Hall of Famers and the greatest three point shooter of all time, he ought to have more assists compared to the Suns, Hornets, or Bulls rosters.

Point of fact: Reggie Miller is retired and not playing for the Celtics.

Harris at SG and Heyward at SF? Would be awesome to see Jimmer on the Jazz but the Jazz don't get too attached to hometown guys. Only if he's the best value will the Jazz take him.

But the Jazz do get attached to white guys they think they can resign.

Jimmer will be a significantly better player than Hayward. And the Jazz took a flyer on Hayward in the top 10.

If Jimmer is on the board, the Jazz (or Pacers) will take him. The kid is a stud.

I'd like to hear anyone make the argument that the west is the superior conference at this point. You have what, three good teams in that conference now?

Anyway, killer trade by the Nets, I'd take Deron Williams over Melo anyday.

What do you mean by superior?

Greatest concentration of talent? Absolutely not.

Greatest shot of winning a championship. Yup. I like the Spurs, Lakers, Mavs, and Thunder, collectively, over the Celtics, Bulls, Heat, and Magic.

I doubt I will say that next year, and definitely not in 2013.

Point of order: Keller smells.

Reggie Miller is to Ray Allen as Julius Erving is to Michael Jordan.

As Keller said, only the top four teams in each conference have legitimate shots at the title (and that's being pretty generous to the Mavs, Spurs, and Magic). I would say "superior" is not sufficiently defined to make an argument either way, especially because we all know the HEAT are lead pipe(TM) locks(C) to hoist the Larry O'Brien Trophy.

More like Reggie Miller is to Ray Allen as Walter Payton is to Emmit Smith.

Kind of funny Deron Williams being an asshole and getting his coach to quit is likely what finally tipped the scales for the management to decide to just start rebuilding. What comes around goes around but it usually takes at least a few years not 3 weeks.
