Comments about ‘Utah Jazz: Williams will hit Jazz jackpot today’

Way to go Jazz . . . Way to go Mr. Williams! This is awesome and will keep the Jazz in contention as long as he is there. It is nice to see a player and a franchise committed to each other and to the community. First class player and first class organization. Any complainers should come to Seattle. Our team moved to a cow pasture in some place I would never want to visit. Fans in Utah have a lot to be grateful for.

I am so glad we were able to get this done, Deron is the cornerstone of the franchise, and the future. Way to go finally getting it done.

Congrats Deron for becoming the richest person ever from The Colony Texas. You've made us proud!!!

Exhale!

YESSSSSSSS!!!

4-years with a player option on the 5th

Please

Atta Boy There Derron .

That's great news. Now GET HIM SOME HELP!!!

is the man.

Good job, Deron. You make us all proud. We're happy you're here.

Please say 5 years. This guy is like family now in Utah.

Where are the nay sayers now? There have been several babbling how Deron would back out of the deal and be gone to the big city for endorsements and more money. Same people that say the players hate coach, don't want to be here, and Sloan can't win. Deron is one of the premier players in the league and would not be sticking around if Sloan was a lousy coach and did not want to win. Wrong again and again--no surprise there though.

Anyway, I suspect the deal will be 3 years with an option for a 4th. Maybe 4 with option of 5th. If KOC got all 5 he is a magician. I have no problem with the shorter deals though--it will put pressure on Miller and KOC to deliver D-Will the personnel to have a legit chance to win or, risk having him walk away after 3-4 years.

If we could get "Fez the Pez" or "Koufus the Dufus" developed into the big we need to plug the middle and defend--we are well on our way!

Go D-Will and go Jazz!!

Why aren't the Jazz out there wheelin' and dealin' to get William's some help. Other teams like NO, LAC and even SA and making there situations better. Utah is peddling backwards this off season ... they HAD potential, I see it falling away.

now we need to build around him. he is a great player. his consistency is what makes him great. stay injury free and he will be one of the best point guards to play in the nba.

nice job jazz...4 to 5 year if all goes well.

I second that on the 4 years with player option for the fifth. Please !!!!!!!!!!!!

Question to all:
Why does the U.S send an "All Star" team to the Olympics instead of the winner of the NBA title. It would seem that the NBA champs know how to play as a team, where the "All Star" team is made of great individual players that are used to being ball hogs and playing against each other.

Congrats D-Will on "gettin' paid", now show us why you're worth the BIG BUCKS & put this team on your now heavily paid shoulders & bring us a CHAMPIONSHIP!
With much praise comes much responsibility & I'm sure you'll do all your fans proud. Oh, and keep rapping with Booze & Okur to remind them why Salt Lake is the best option for them to win a titlewhile you're raking in the dough. the fans who can't afford to pad your pockets with high ticket prices & even higher merchandise prices wish you the best...as long as you're producing!

this is great news!! I have been sitting on pins and needles! I am very relieved!! Go D-Will, you are truely a class act and Jazz fans are extremely happy that you are here to stay!! GO Jazz!!!!

Congrats to Deron, and The Jazz brass. Deron is a big reason why we bought another years worth of Season Tickets. To watch players that bring it every night is a skill that too few players in this league possess.

On 1280 The Zone an NBA insider said it was a 3 yr. deal w/ option for 4th yr.
