Let's trade for Deron!

If reports are true that Deron has "checked out" in NJ, why not go for this?

JJ
Teague
Future 1st

for

Deron
Farmar


A) We get Deron for the rest of the year. First time ATL has had a truly great player in a long, long time. Let's see what this lineup can do in a shortened season:

Deron/Farmar
T-Mac
Smoove
Ivan
Horford

B) We get out from Joe's contract. That should be reason enough.

Not sure why New Jersey would do it. Yes they could lose Deron for nothing but JJ's contract is pretty brutal for a team who is "rebuilding". They did give up a lot to get Deron: Favors, Harris, and 2 firsts.

So many of these threads ignore C..

You trade anyone but Horford you're getting flawed players back. Sorry. And I see it as funny seeing how Teague performed against Deron.

That undersized team with T-Mac starting? Our bench is now what? Geez.

I don't know if there's such thing as overreaction after last night's game.

Yeah you looked bad last night but I really like Teague, and your core of horford jj, smith and Williams is a top 5 team in east IMHO
