Williams "We Got Worse"

Shapecity · Feb 19, 2010

After the Jazz traded away Ronnie Brewer and his nearly 10 points a game for nothing but a draft pick to the Grizzlies, point guard Deron Williams isn't too happy about it.

Here are Williams' quotes from Ross Siler of the Salt Lake Tribune: "I think if we'd make a trade it would be something a little different than that. You look at all the teams that are getting better around the West and we essentially get worse, if you ask me."

When asked if this affected his long-term commitment to the team, Williams offered this up: "That's why I signed a three-year deal."

Meaning that's why he didn't sign a longer-term deal.

A few things to keep in perspective here: Utah is in the luxury tax, and so the move was to trim some payroll. Also, Silver tweets this: "Deron said Ronnie was his little brother and that he thought Jazz would try to get better at the deadline not worse."

So if he was close to Brewer, this may be why he's particularly upset.

For now, this is nothing more than a little post-trade frustration coming out.

But if Williams keeps on this thread or things worsen, it's possible he could want out of Utah.

BENCH HIM SLOAN! lol j/k I don't think Utah particularly got worse talent wise, but Brewer surely was a great glue guy.
