Before we traded Dwill, I remember telling my friends if he left, the only way I could continue rooting for him was if he played with Dwight. I loved Deron's game, thought he was a great leader (argue all you want, just my opinion), and knew that all he needed was an athletic big that could defend to start truly competing for a title. I also knew a good PG will act as a force multiplier for dwights offensive game, and couldnt watch the magic without laughing at how comically few lob passes were thrown to him. He's never played with a real PG (jameer doesn't count), and think I'll really enjoy watching the two of them if they play together.
Just wondering what the community here thinks about this.

Re: Deron and Dwight
I'll be mad because a part of me wants Deron to get shafted but Howard and Williams are two of my favorite players so I'd end up cheering for them.
I also think we might get in on that 3 way deal that's going to send Howard to New Jersey. If they're involving another team or two, we would make a lot of sense with our big men assets. We could be the reason why Deron gets his wish and gets Howard in NJ.

Re: Deron and Dwight
I would love to see it for Deron's sake, AND for the fact that a team who is not the Knicks, Lakers, Bulls or Celtics would end up winning a championship. I am so sick of these teams who think its their god-given right to have the best players come their way.

Re: Deron and Dwight
I followed Deron in a Jazz uniform for almost 6 seasons, so it will be hard to just forget about him. I don't have the inside scoop to what went on behind the scenes, but I can understand Deron's desire to play in a big market and if he felt he had a better chance of winning elsewhere. I will root for him always, and where ever Deron is will be second favorite team for years to come.

Think it's their god-given right? Well ****, outside of Boston (not a big fan), these are world class cities. They offer a ton, so players want to go there. I understand you may prefer a small town, but you think someone in their 20's with tens of millions wants to live in a small city with far less entertainment options? Lets be real now.
