Lots of puffery here, Deron was pissed when Dee was traded also and he was pissed playing the 2 guard. The Jazz had to reduce payroll and they didn't have that many choices to do that.
People think this will hurt chemistry, but it really will only hurt Deron's mood. Remember that if you are AK, CJ, Korver, and Matthews this is good news. They will get more playing time and the rotation will be more set going forward, look for them to step up and play even better than before. Sure, Deron probably will miss his buddy but at the end of the day, if the Jazz keeps winning, everybody will be happy and Deron will have forgotten this. Eventually, he will appreciate that the jazz makes the hard decisions that prevents the club from becoming laughable like the Knicks and other freespenders.
