Other Sports Deron Williams traded to Nets - Page 4

The NBA trade deadline is the best.

Deron Williams traded to the Nets for Devin Harris, Derrick Favors and 2 first round picks. Troy Murphy is sent to the Warriors in the deal (he will be bought out) and Dan Gadzurich is headed with Williams to Jersey.

Since I hate Devin Harris, I think this is a major get for the Nets. Favors is going to be in the same role he is now.

My how Utah has fallen in just a week.

Deron found out about being traded on Sportscenter. Jazz brass must have been really upset about his role in pushing Sloan out.

The Knicks, like most NBA teams have a loyal following. However, due to the location of MSG, the massive amounts of people daily in the city, there's no freaking way in this world that the Knicks would sell out if they were located elsewhere.

As I said, my brother has season tickets, I've gone to 3 Knicks games this year and a ton over the last 10 years and the the Knicks/Yankees to the Nets/Mets comparison is laughable at best.

This is the part that doesn't make sense to me. IMHO Sloan had to be on the way out whether Deron was there or not.

Only superstars do that.

Deron Williams is the best point guard int he game right now. Well him and Chris Paul are 1a and 1b. Rondo would be up there too if he could shoot. Hell, he'd be number 1.

D Rose is quickly gaining on that ass though.

That would be hilarious. I would have loved to see his face when he found out.

I respect your opinion -- But your wrong -- Plain and simple...

New York is a huge sports town.

They've had some great players here and there, but only 2 NBA titles in nearly 70 years and an overall franchise record under .500 doesn't suggest rich history to me.

I think it had more to do with the garden and the playground ball ny is legendary for.

Imo ny city has a rich bb history. Not only because of the knicks though

I'm not getting into a pissing war about how passionate Knicks fans are. There are some that are, but there are more fans there taking in a game due to it being in New York City in a historic arena than diehard fans.

New York is a huge sports town. I'm not disputing that. What I'm disputing is they are a diehard every year Knicks town.

If my brother can secure center court 3rd level season tickets this year for the Knicks then there's something wrong with the loyal every year fan base.
