If the salary cap were no issue, what is the max you would pay Deron Williams a season?
Mark my words, you have not seen the last of Jarron Collins in a Jazz uniform. He'll be a pickup after the trade deadline. He will be at the least a 10-day contract and will probably sign an option to finish out the season.
Thanks to Moneyman Memo for this idea. Having #8 instead of #3 is a stroke of genius. I think it looks pretty good.
From CJ Miles last night while he and Deron were at Rodizio Grill (not The Cheesecake Factory? Weird): "I ain't gonna lie I missed Tha 801"
As long as we're on tweets, Deron had one that he's since deleted, "Is any body ready for the f$%&in' season to start?????? sorry but I am so ready!!!!!!! I can't wait......" I think it echoes everyone's sentiments exactly.
Luhmmy has an article about John Stockton's son David walking on at Gonzaga this year. Another son, Michael, plays at Westminster here in the SLC. I can't imagine having to live up to the expectations of being one of John Stockton's boys and playing basketball. Their family handles it very well though.
It seems to be the same for most pro athletes though. Being Jordan's son, John Elway's son, etc. I couldn't think of any father/son superstars. The reverse seems true too. Those that didn't have star fathers end up being better than their father. The Currys might be an example. Ronnie B will end up being better than his dad.
Karl has a couple of very athletic kids. Wonder if he's still ignoring the one?

At least August appears to be rushing by.
1- Given the current economy, I think his contract is about right, right now. But really, as much as we needed to pay to keep him. He is a franchise type player.
2- I agree. I think he signs with the team for the full season if Harpring retires.
3- Works for me.
4- This could be a big year for CJ. I am glad that he wants to be here. Have you guys seen the pictures of him this offseason? He is at least 15-20 pounds bigger. Much more muscular.
5- There were a handful of good father son combos- The Bonds, The Griffeys, even Kobe’s dad was servicable- the Gerald Hendersons-even Luke and Bill WAlton to a degree. There are others too.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
The Downtbeat
1. Well….being that he is the Franchise player…I would definately pay him enough to stay forever. I would not even negotiate any bullcrap….I would offer him an irrefusable amount like 25-30mil a year. He is worth every dollar. I would make the contract last until he was atleast 35…..then have a Deron Williams Coaching Option at the end so he can opt back into his contract to be the Jazz Head Coach.
2. Come on dude! Dont say that. I wish Sloan would just marry the guy and get it over with. He probably gets Collins to help on his farm in the offseason.
8. Deron proves it everytime!!
4. CJ better thank Deron Williams he is still in Utah…without DWill in KOC’s ear he would be with the Sonics.
5. Stockton’s kids have as good a chance as him to be great….just play hard, hustle, play smart, and play every second like its the last second of your life.

2 — my near daily e-mail correspondence with ross siler seems to indicate that we’re probably going to keep harp on the team, even if he retires — and that we’ll probably pick up Collins for the vet minimum or Suton for dirt cheap in order make sure we have warm bodies inside.
