Favors and Harris to Utah for Deron Williams

[Sixthdis108]

As a Jazz fan, I really like this move. Really hope Sloan ends up back on the bench after this. Harris, Bell, AK47, Favors, and Jefferson is a good starting five with the depth of Miles, Milsap, Okur, Hayward, Watson, and Price! This team has a great build to grow on. Two first round picks too! If one is this year that is awesome. Next year could still be lottery too in my opinion.

So Favors, Milsap, Jefferson, Okur, Fesenko? Okur is almost done and Favors, Milsap, Fesenko is a nice front court trio. Does this leave Al Jefferson out in the cold?

East is becoming a fantasty league...

Utah is getting last year's top 3 pick and this year's top 3 pick. What else do you want? Thats 2 lottery picks (top 3) in a row, unless NJ does really well the rest of the year.

They gave away the 1st round GSW pick in 2012 and their pick this year? I hope they're protected.

Do we know what 1st round picks Utah got? The 4 they were dangling in the Melo deal were 2 of their own and 1 from Houston and the other from the Lakers. I haven't heard confirmation which ones went to Utah.

Also, it appears Brandan Wright went to NJ with Dan Gadzuric.

Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports adds the picks are two first-rounders and that the Nets will send Troy Murphy to Golden State in exchange for Brandan Wright and Dan Gadzuric as well.

If Sloan returns to Utah I expect Favors to be the second coming of Karl Malone. He would make a fantastic roller via the Pick and Roll.

I hope not. Jefferson has been decent for my fantasy team. I guess it's time for Humphries to shine in NJ. No Favors or Murphy to take time from him.

The Jazz will get the Nets 2011 first round pick and Golden State's 2012 pick that Nets own, league source says.

WojYahooNBA Adrian Wojnarowski
The Golden State pick is protected 1-7 in 2012.

I guess that answers that

Great deal for both teams.

Utah got a nice package. Harris, Favours, two 1st picks. GSW pick is protected 1-7.

RT @Lockedonsports Deron Williams told me it wasn't his choice. He's stunned. Declined to do interv until he figures out what it all means

I believe him, this trade came out of no where...

Are those picks protected? Those are lottery bound. That 2011 Nets pick has a chance of going top 5. Shrewd move by the Jazz. I think that's a fair trade after all.
