Keep D-Will. Keep the future of the NBA and trade what wont be the future or get us further. If players cant play defence or show consistancy in the playoffs trade them for players that will.
Jimmys Sneakers and Sloan Hater are all talk and always a waste of my precious time.

The sarcasm on here is hilarious, but to think that so many people took the Dwill trades, Plaisted, and other trades etc. serious is even funnier even after being told that it is sarcasm.

Jimmy, you sure know how to drive these people crazy and they still don't get it. Rock on dude.

I'll throw out some more bait. Let's trade Dwill for for a third second round pick who will lead us to the finals, that's all we need to do. Just one more piece.

D-will will become the most dominating point guard in the NBA. If they ever traded him the team would loose a 25 year Jazz fan. He is a pure point guard and worth every penny. I like Booz, but his D sucks, and he choked in the playoffs just like karl. He will opt out in a year so I could take him or leave him. There is nothing out there for him anyway. I do know this D-Will, AK, Okur, Brewer, Milsap, Harpering, Korver, and Price are all going to put up bigger numbers next year to carry Booz's lack of contributions in the playoffs

Until we have a team defensive effort like I saw from the Celtics in the final game, we have no chance of a championship......That means Boozer is on the way out if we want a championship in Utah.

I like the idea of standing pat. We have 3-4 years with this group maintaining or improving, age wise... no one can pay them more than us, so we can keep them... and let's face it: Every team has roster fodder like Hart and Collins. Swapping them out to upgrade the 11th and 12th man improves your team zero point oh-oh ONE percent. So don't sweat them. So get an overseas prospect ala Tony Parker or Kirilenko, and leave them to develop. Granted, it's not as exciting as pulling in Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen and co. But it'll get the job done.

This is total! Why would the Jazz get rid of him. Lightning doesn't strike twice in the same spot. We are lucky to have him!! He is making reads on the court that Stockton did when he was at that age. D-Will scores too! Total ball hog, not really. He averaged a double double for the season. He is the leader of this team!!! If we trade any one of the starting five it has to be AK (let it be known I love his style of play and what he brings to the defense) and free up some of that money.

Continued sharp criticism of talented players viewed as all stars will leave the Utah Jazz talentless. Praise the team and keep the comments positive or you will lose the stars necessary to put together a championship.

trade deron williams. yeah right. it's just another troll throwing out incendiary long bombs. and the rest of the board knocks each other out running to intercept. deron williams is the heart & soul.
