Just in on the ESPN website :
Nets get Deron Williams
Jazz get Derrick Favors, Devin Harris, 2 first rounders and the now mandatory it seems $3 mil

The Nets claim it wasn't a desperation trade after missing out on Melo, but giving up Favors and 2 first rounders is selling out your future, especially when there isn't all that much to put around Williams at the moment.

And so the Jazz enter rebuilding mode?????

Awesome trade for the Nets in my book. Top 5 PG in the league. Will play D and is young enough to contribute for a long time. NJ still have a 1st rounder and Deron is a massive upgrade over Harris (and trust me as a Wisconsin fan i love Harris).

The must be more to come for Utah. They now have Jefferson, Milsap, Kirralenko and Favours who pretty much all play PF. Maybe Orlando will come knocking for one of them?

How can it be awesome for the Nets???? They now have Williams, Lopez and ...... Kris Humphries?????? The Nets will be lucky to win 5 more games the rest of the season they will be that bad. Mr Russian must be banking on free agency in the off-season otherwise the Nets will only win about 10 games next season and Williams will be looking to get out.

Utah on the other hand are in a great position, draft picks galore and with the 4 players you have listed they can trade one and shape their roster however they want ... probably package Kirralenko and a 1st rounder for a PG.

Long term it's great for the Nets. They weren't winning anything this year anyhow. Plus they will be 16-18mil under the cap in the off-season which makes them a major player in the FA market. I am pretty sure they still own another 1st rd pick (just looked and it's the Lakers pick so not awesome but at least they have one ) so they haven't sold themselves out completely. Also if the Murphy deal goes through they will land Gadzuric and Wright.

Also Deron William is a guy you can build a franchise around. Favours and Harris were not. They have a Top 5 PG in the league and a solid C. The positions they need (lots of) help at are the easiest ones to fill.

Well hopefully now for the nets under achievers like morrow and outlaw will step up under their new leader deron.
they still need cash aisde to resign kris humphries and brook lopez.

so in the meantime their new lineup is
PG deron williams
SG anthony morrow
SF travis outlaw
PF kris humphries
C brook lopez

farmer, vujacic, wright, petro, gaduriz

Well they still have a lot of assets and picks remaining, plenty of expiring contracts as well. Lots of cap space to trade for more picks and expiring contracts..

I suppose they'll make some big moves in the off-season, but it's rumoured Deron isn't happy about being traded to the Nets, so no guarantee he'll sign an extension next season.

Well they got one year to make him happy, and show him a road map to the finals... if he doesn't like it then they can do a sign and trade deal for deron.

he can become a free agent after next season... so expect plenty of action during next seasons trade deadline if deron doenst sign a contract extension =P

favours is quite a good complementary piece to brooke lopez... if he develops into a prototypical PF then nets would possibly have the best front court...

kinda dumb that nets would trade him away along with 2 first round... considering he was taken top 5...

which 2 first round draft picks were they?

oh crap, just remember jazz already have Jefferson and Millsap... both are pretty good PF already... not to mention okur... I would be pissed as favours....

imagine if williams refuse to sign with the nets in the offseasons... basically they gave away their possible future for half a season of "glory"..
