I give the all the credit in the world.

I probably make this move if I'm the nets and love the deal if I'm a Nets fan.

Not taking away from the positive move it is.

Just saying the pundits are spinning it beyond that simple fact, and I'm weighing in.

Oh, and I have no facts to back this up, but given what happened last week, and having seen Williams does with the press on camera, anyone get the impression Utah must have REALLY soured on him?

it would be awesome if Sloan came back tomorrow and was like "Who's your daddy now Deron?"

No doubt, Nets will have plenty of selling to do. RT @tribjazz: Jazz's Williams is not happy with trade.

Why only saying this now? RT @sluhm source last week told me Deron was in "a league of his own" as far as creating problems

I love it... Nets are decent but not as good as the Knicks and they have constant drama... what could be better? ITs like the 90s and we are getting our little brother back to kick around

I wonder if DWill will write "All Alone" on his sneakers there like Marbs did?

D Will might be stuck in NJ depending on new CBA

Russian dude is no joke!!

First he raises price on Melo then he 1 ups us by getting D WIll at a cheaper price

This back and forth is def good for both sides IMHO

Dolan go get CP3 tonight and I'll be super thrilled

Trade Billups Walker and Azu plus cash and picks!!

We have 24 hrs left so giggy up!!

How did they get Deron at a cheaper price?

Harris = Felton
Favors' potential nearly = Gallo's potential
2 lottery picks = Chandler/Mozgov

To me it looks like they Knicks and Nets gave up nearly the same amount for two of the best players in the league.

big difference is...we got a player that wants to be here and signed an extension. Nets could have just spent their whole wad on a rental

I hope NJ keeps on losing, doesn't ever become his choice and he walks away from NJ for nothing next offseason.

What would be funnier is if Deron walked away from the Nets, right to the Knicks. Poetic justice, and sweet spit right in the face of that wannabe-gangsta, scheming bum of a Nets owner Prokhorov.

Come on man. I switched at the beginning of the year to the Nets (yes, we've truly stunk it up this year) but i'm not gonna be going around wishing ill on anyone on the Knicks. What if somebody came on here talking about they hope Amare blows his knees out so Melo would come to us in a few years...that would be idiotic. Bottom line, it's good for both sides to be on the ball so we can all do it 1955 Yankees - Brooklyn Dodger style (please note the year). Chill.

Well, according to reports Deron can't sign any extension until July 2011. With that being the case how could they turn this deal down? They'll have him for at least the next season and a half, he'll be the face of the franchise, and they'll have time to build around him leading up to the big move to Brooklyn at which point they're hoping they've done enough to convince him to stay.
