    That is truly stunning news. Wow. (what will be even funnier is when Deron refuses to sign an extension with the Nets next year and he defects to the Knicks).

    Everybody was reporting that, though. I just find it funny that these supposed "insiders" were completely blindsided by this trade. Days of speculation and Tweets from them, and not one that I remember mentioned Deron Williams as a target. Hats off to the Nets for their disinformation campaign. The KGB has nothing over Prokhorov.

    We're not winning anything either way.

    True, but we would be better positioned for the future with Harris.

    Agree. I cant see Deron wanting to stay there. Him and Lopez are an 8th seed in the East.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Wojnarowski made it happen. He's gotten bored of reporting news long before it happens and switched over to making the news.

    What will Wojnarowski cause to happen next?

    Well I for one am glad the Blazers aren't jumping into the Utah Denver rebuilding pool this trade deadline.

    The Milsap toxic offer keeps paying dividends. It was the butterfly that flapped it's wings and made the mighty Utah Jazz fold. The Blazers should dedicate their upcoming playoffs appearance to KP.

    Harris isn't a franchise-maker. I'm fine with Miller through this season and exercising his option. We can trade him next year.

    Can't opt out until summer 2012 if read it right. So NJ has a year and a half to build around him to convince him to stay . . . or trade him back to the west (Blazers). :D

    I wonder what book our GM is enjoying today? I wonder if he is poolside, or curled up in front of the fire?

    We already leapfrogged Denver and Utah, but are still looking up at OKC, LA, Dallas and San Antonio. This team seemingly has no strategy to move up in the standing other than hoping every team in the West rebuilds. Not gonna happen.

    I'm also good with keeping Andre around, but not cashing in on JPEC would be a failure. Hopefully they can at least come up with some value for Joel before the deadline (seems unlikely though).

    Of all the trades that could have happen Derron Williams being moved was something I NEVER thought would happen.

    I love the thought of Williams spending the playoffs on the outside looking in. The Jazz were smart to dump him before he pulled a Melo on them next year.

    How do you, in your infinite wisdom, think our GM could/should have been involved here?
