I think this is an appropriate time to point out that Deron hasn't been good in like 3 years.
That's dangerous.
EDIT: I see konex is on damage control already. Although i stopped whining about kobe's defense a while back. The guy plays 40 mins a game and chucks up so many bricks in the processes, I really can't hold it against him.Bricks can get heavy sometimes.

But I was told he was a top 3 PG in the NBA, what is this?
Multiple Broussard sources.

Cool, that should aid him in creepy stalking.
He's been barely above average since his injury and trade. I wonder if the Jazz knew that his injury was worse than anybody admitted to it being. It's obvious that he's lost his shot to some degree and he's not even half as aggressive as he was in Utah. With the Jazz, if Deron got pissed off, someone was getting dunked on. In Brooklyn, he melts. Something is wrong with him. I'd be weary of making him my franchise guy until he proves he's healthy and willing to be aggressive again.

Yeah that and they probably thought he would have left anyway. Whether he would have or not is open to debate, but there were a lot of reports at the time of Deron wanting out. It's actually a lot like the Dwight Howard situation. Both players were coming off injuries, both were reportedly frustrated with the team, and both have been thus far less productive on their new teams. Also, I don't think either one ended up on a team that they really wanted. While I do think there's a good chance Deron would have stayed in Utah, it's clear that he wanted some sort of shakeup.

Remember when Joe Johnson/Deron Williams was supposed to be the best backcourt in the East?

Haha this kid man, he was all over Mavs fans when they kept Deron and now his dad gets fired? Pretty funny.
No?
I remember people saying that they can't believe the Hawks were able to unload JJ's godawful contract.

Avery is a shitty coach, but it isn't his fault that Deron loves cake.

Wow, the Coach fired. This shit is wild. I'll admit to not paying much attention most times, but have teams ALWAYS been so fucking willy nilly about tossing a coach mid/early in a season?

Yeah, we couldn't trade blows at all. We need someone who can be reliable from more than 10 feet out.
Player A defender distance: 8 feet

They have no go to guy still. You already know who they could use about now and they might have had a chance to get to the wcf or finals.
Not an excuse.

If the Nets get Mike Brown. My God the tears of hysterical laughter will run down my face.

In the NBA, yeah, always. Although 28 games is a long time.

Dwight has been a huge disappointment for me, and I really don't care if he re-signs or not. It only free up money to get a real center.
The issue with letting Dwight go for nothing is that even after his contract is off the books, there is no money for a "real" center for the Lakers to get.
Not only that, but Dwight is a "real" center in today's NBA. He's as good as it gets.

I don't think Mike Brown will ever coach again in the NBA. His con artist days are over.

I hear you.
Take away Bynum's attitude problems, and knee prob;ems, and I was watching the best center in the NBA for the last several years. I never knew it until I got to watch Dwight play.
His offense is college ish. Not NBA ish. I want to slap the smile off his face. He doesn't have the heart of a champion. Its so sad.
Uh, Jimmer wasn't that long ago, man. Also, RSL won a championship. A CHAMPIONSHIP! So did BYU football.
But yes, Kyle Van Noy was a freaking beast and I like to pretend that he's coming back next year.
