Deron Williams Is Not Happy with Utah’s Lack of Summer Moves
Every summer, the Utah Jazz find themselves in the unenviable position of
being located in the squarest state of any NBA franchise. I mean "square"
in comportment, not physical shape, although Utah is also right behind
Colorado in that category and would be first if not for that extra
little rectangle up top.
But enough about cartography. Due to their location, the Jazz often
have a difficult time convincing top-shelf free agents to join their
squad. Even with their history of success, there’s something
unfamiliar and unwelcoming about Utah for a young black NBA star.
No matter how good the team gets, they often have a difficult
time getting that extra push into greatness. The days of Karl
Malone and John Stockton were an aberration, just one that
happened for a long period of time.
This is all a long way of saying that it’s been a difficult
summer for Utah. Carlos Boozer(notes) left to go to the Bulls,
Kyle Korver(notes) looks set to join him in Chicago, and undrafted
rookie find Wes Matthews signed a bizarrely lucrative offer sheet
with Portland. Yet with all those departures, the Jazz have brought
no one in outside of top-10 draft pick Gordon Hayward(notes),
who’s very far from a sure thing.
This has not made Deron Williams happy. Here’s what he told
the Deseret News:
While addressing media at his annual charity golf tournament Saturday,
Deron Williams(notes) admitted to being somewhat "frustrated." […]
"It was tough to see Booz (Carlos Boozer) and Kyle (Korver) go,"
Williams said. "But they made business decisions and you have to
live with them. Any time you lose two guys like that you’re
going to be frustrated." […]
Asked about how busy this past week had been for the Jazz during
the free-agency frenzy, Williams joked, "Well, it hasn’t been
a really busy week for us. It’s been a real busy week for some
of our former teammates."
You have to feel bad for Williams. This postseason, he is
established himself as arguably the best point guard in the
league (although a healthy Chris Paul(notes) would beg to
differ) and led the Jazz to a surprising first-round win over
the Nuggets despite playing with a depleted roster. Now, some
of his most important teammates—especially Boozer—are no longer
there, and it seems unlikely that Utah will be able to replace
their talents any time soon.
It’s not as if the cupboard is bare—Paul Millsap(notes), Andrei
Kirilenko(notes), and Mehmet Okur(notes) are darn good players in
the frontcourt. But the Jazz look decidedly less threatening than
they did in May.
The good news is that Jerry Sloan has a way of working things out.
As a coach, he demands precision from his players, and it’s easy
to see Utah making it back to the playoffs on the strength of
Williams’ greatness and the overachieving contributions of everyone
else on the roster. Deron might be mad now, but it’s likely that
he’ll see things differently when the Jazz step out on the court.
Their situation looks much worse on paper than it’s likely to be
in practice.
