just got a texted tweet about that.... holy shit.... Did not see that coming.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Shocker. Williams must be PISSED lol

 

[MapleLeaf]

I'm only pissed because there was a lot of talk that we were going to get Devin Harris back for Caron's expiring and a 1st

 

[Yankees2772]

Nets trying to cock block the Knicks at any cost.

 

[lonesomefx]

Deron better not go to New Jersey, cause then he'll definitely wanna be a Knick in 2012 lmao. He'll get his ass busted by the Knicks for the next year.

 

[bosoxlover12]

wow, they got deron for good value too IMO

 

[playmaker7]

Jazz lost this deal IMO lol

Favors better be a baller

 

[Yankees2772]

Why get Favors if you have Millsap, Jefferson, and Okur?

 

[VC15]

April Fools?

 

[Giantmetfan07]

Jazz probably feel like Deron will walk and don't want him to "demand" a trade this summer and be in the same situation as Carmelo put the Nuggets in, so they got rid of him now for some picks and DMFF

 

[bestkeptsecret13]

It's done? Lame as fuck.

 

[Giantmetfan07]

Nets better make sure they fill up those seats otherwise this dude's walkin and they gave up Harris, Picks & Favors for 1 1/2 years of Deron Williams.

 

[sheed]

Wow! Did not see this coming at all.

The Nets have acquired Deron Williams.

Devin Harris and Derrick Favors will be traded to the Jazz, along with two first round picks.

New Jersey will send Troy Murphy to Golden State, while the Warriors trade Dan Gadzuric to the Nets.

The Nets pursued Carmelo Anthony for months, but were ultimately unsuccessful as he preferred a trade to the Knicks. But the Nets were committed to acquiring a legitimate superstar and quickly were able to acquire Williams, who is eligible to be a free agent in 2012.

Williams is not eligible to sign an extension until July, pending the NBA's new collective bargaining agreement.

 

[bestkeptsecret13]

So is Sloan coming back now? LOL

 

[buzzy]

Holy shit. Gotta love the trade deadline.

You hate to give up Favots, but you can't pass up on Deron.

 

[VC15]

So this is real?

 

[dez]

No way they made this move without an extension in place, if they did...

 

[sheed]

Yeah its real. And if I were Deron I would be piiiiiiiiiiissed. Lmao. The Nets have no immediate future now. They better hope they do some more work at the deadline or get lucky in free agency.

 

[buzzy]

Knicks got fucked haha

The Nets got the better player giving up less.
