Jerry Sloan steps down, leaves Utah Jazz! Era is over!

I want to change my name to AndreiMillsap. :(

Also, D-Will is a little b[COLOR="Black"]itc[/COLOR]h. Smh. :facepalm
I can already see the Knicks fans with their Trade machines, trying to create the ultimate trade to get him :oldlol:

[QUOTE=Skep]Ty Corbin is the black version of Jerry Sloan. He is classy and will be a great fit.


Either this team will take this as motivation and play amazing basketball for the rest of the season, or they will implode and Dwill will be traded.

Both are positive ways to moving forward.[/QUOTE]
I definitely don't see positive in the second one
:lol

[QUOTE=DeronMillsap]I want to change my name to AndreiMillsap. :([/QUOTE]
Do it!

Anyone think there's a chance D-Will is traded? And if AK did have a go at D-Will it makes me love him even more.

Corbin named "head coach" no "interim" tag, good to see they're not messing around and are giving him the full time job.

Lost a massive amount of respect for Deron Williams due to this whole turn-of-events. I hope he's happy... Good luck finding a better coach.

[quote=strike]245 coaching changes in the nba since Jerry Sloan took over...wow[/quote]Hell figure out all the 4 major sports, gotta be over 1000.

I really hope the Jazz don't slide into irrelevancy. An owner who apparently won't spend like his dad, coaching legend given the boot, Deron potentially leaving. Could be a disaster.

But he didn't win. He choked.

sounds like a fair trade two overrated PG...:applause:

Sloan To The Lakers

[QUOTE=YAH trick YAH]But he didn't win. He choked.[/QUOTE]

I bet you didnt even watch game 6 in 98.


First the refs not counting a 3 from howard eisley(jazz wouldve won)
Then michael jordan pushing off


2 blatant calls that were given.

Sloans team had to play the GOAT twice.

They play any other team in the 90s with that team and they win a ring.

But im not going to get into this with bulls fans that are trying to troll.

[QUOTE=YAH trick YAH]But he didn't win. He choked.[/QUOTE]

choking vs the bulls...okay buddy whatever you say...hahhahaha now go jack off to your D-williams poster......

[QUOTE=YAH trick YAH]But he didn't win. He choked.[/QUOTE]

Yeah...okay let's see how you do against Michael Jordan's Bulls.

[QUOTE=Rose]Utah Jazz for CP3! [/QUOTE]
Nope

Beautiful. Just beautiful. So long, Jerry! Glad my Rockets got to sock it to you one more time, in Utah no less, before you left. Today is a sweet day. The last remnants of the Old Republic have been swept away.

Go figure even in a retirement thread from one of the greatest baskebtall minds ever we have trolls fighting.

Not trying to troll. I'm trying to debunk over anxious statements made by butt hurt people in this thread. People crying like girls because a coach quit on his team.

I don't think he choked, but that was as rational a statement as saying Deron chokes in the playoffs.

Now have Deron and Sloan probably had arguments? Hell yeah. But to say he is the sole reason for Sloan leaving is stupid right now. Anonymous sources don't mean anything.

It may very well turn out to be the case, but nothing of merit has come out.

Except Corbin was a shitty benchwarmer and Sloan was an All-Star.

ESPN is looking back at his career now.

They asked Sloan AND Johnson just now about Deron Williams.

Sloan just said ''i pushed MYSELF out''
Johnson said ''Well..dont worry about all that. just let it play out''

Looking bad for D-WIll

Serioulsy, Sloan to the Lakers next season would be perfect for both Sloan and the Lakers. If the Lakers make some moves and stay contenders for the next couple of seasons Sloan would be the perfect coach to replace Phil Jackson.

Not to turn it into a Deron Williams bash fast, but people were saying he was a bit of a dick in person, take it for what its worth. Not of great sources, but a majority of people I know that follow the Jazz a lot have said that.

He didn't quit, he was forced out. Also, if you been a fan of something half your life you're gonna get emotional.

Jazz CEO asked if Deron Williams is responsible.

He replied with ''with all respect to deron williams, no player is bigger than the Utah Jazz''

ouch

A tweet from a Jazz beat writer that I posted earlier basically said the same thing.

I don't even care who gave the ultimatum. If Williams was making things so difficult that Sloan was inclined to retire rather than having to spend another minute with him, it shows me the kind of person that we are dealing with, here.

Anyone who doesn't realize this is Deron's fault...put in like 10 minutes of googling and read Jazz fans/beat writers blogs/twitter. And you'll see it's obviously on Deron.

If you watch his interviews in most loses, he was always the most pessimistic person and he gave small implies that he didn't like what Sloan was doing.

[QUOTE=Ruh-Roh]Stockton on ESPN now.[/QUOTE]

WOW...and he said he and Sloan also had arguments
