    Do you want him to throw his own players under the bus? Have some common sense, kid.

    It isn't bad enough that the Superfriends have now joined together, but now you have Melo, CP3 and possibly DWill holding their franchises hostage while they do their little AAU dance.

    It disgusts me. All hail Kevin Durant.
    Exactly. But so few people realize that especially younger people. (and I'm 20 and saying that)

    The players aren't to blame for taking advantage of opportunities. Blame the current CBA. If they really wanna reduce the natural advantage of having a team in a big market or players joining up on one team, they should push for a Hard Cap. That's the only way to spread out the talent. Either that or just reduce the number of teams.

    1320 KFAN (local radio) here is playing an interview with Raja Bell like they usually do on Thursday, it's being played on there now (the interview was a couple hours ago), and while he's not going to throw anyone under the bus, it's pretty clear that there was some turmoil in the locker room between Deron, not that we haven't heard already.

    When I first read this I thought WTF. The greatest coach to never win a NBA world title is now retired.

    Heck he prob saw his Jazz 6th and Lakers 3rd and saw yet another loss to Phil Jackson in the playoffs lol jk

    Deron stock just went down to trash

    If the story of confrontation between Deron and Sloan is true then Deron must be pure garbage to disrespect hall of fame coach to the point of quitting


    hopefully jazz fans boo deron off the court every game or trade him to garbage team

    Amare wanted to stay in Phoenix and gave them a chance to sign him. They would only guarantee 2 years while NY guaranteed all 5. Utah wouldn't sign Boozer unless he took like zero money so he went to Chicago. Melo has not made any demands except that he won't sign an extension this year. Think about it. It's literally the only thing that has come out. Is he morally obligated to up for 5 more years in Denver?

    I fail to see the connection between exercising one's free agent rights and acting like a jerkoff to your coach to the point he gets fired like DWill apparently did.

    And btw, Paul is playing hard, complaining not at all, and he currently plays for a team that is in limbo because no one wants to buy it. You know, since we are giving him shit for trying to get out. Which he currently is not...

    This, but that won't happen.
    Most Jazz fans probably don't realize Sloan has done so much more for their franchise then Deron ever would have.

    BTW, Sloan hasn't changed in 20 years, so i don't doubt he was unwilling to change, but the fact he got pushed out with the flashpoint being an argument he had with his star player is very very sad.
