I'll never forget Sloan's EPIC inbound plays!
I lost a lot of respect on Williams.
You did read I said it was a mistake, right? For his career Deron has been a good player and a good coachable player so while this season has been poor I don't think it automatically makes him someone to despise.

i wonder how Deron will do tomorrow night when Phoenix comes to Utah? And it'll be on ESPN.
I guess I place a higher penalty on throwing a HOF coach under the bus.
So, you have a bad patch during one basketball season, where you're still in the playoff race, and it's "that much losing"? What a ing baby Deron is, if he can't wait out some injuries.
Boozer left, it became "his team", and he cracked. End of story.
He didn't throw him under the bus, management did. You guys all seem to forget that management was the one that didn't back up Jerry Sloan. Sloan didn't retire because Williams didn't run a damn play - he did it because management didn't let him run the team.
@ it being anyone other than William's team when Boozer was there. Boozer was shopped every season but it was somehow his team? Yeah OK.
told you people that d williams is overarrated
also this could hurt him signing with another team when he is fa

Utah Jazz guard Deron Williams denied and downplayed rumors that a disagreement between he and coach Jerry Sloan led to Sloan's resignation and lashed out at the media's portrayal of the situation. Posted by Ben Golliver.
On Thursday, Utah Jazz coach Jerry Sloan tendered his resignation, and rumors immediately began swirling that a rift had developed between Sloan and Utah's All-Star point guard Deron Williams.
In a Thursday afternoon interview with David Locke on KFAN 1320 in Salt Lake City, Williams downplayed those reports and lashed out at the media's treatment of the situation.
Williams began with his initial reaction to today's news: "It sucks. I didn't think he would ever retire in the middle of the season," Williams said. "I watched the press conference and he said it was his time."
Williams then took a swipe at reporters claming that he had a role in Sloan's departure. "All those guys, Ric Bucher, Chris Broussard, they're all in our locker room everyday," Williams deadpanned. "I'll let them report what they want to report, that's what they are paid to do. That's why I'm always short and rude with the media, because they're your friend. Ric comes in and sits by me every time I see him, acts like he's my friend, but the day they find something they want to spin, they jump on it. That's why I am the way I am and will continue to be the way I am."
...
money buys the media
d williams is one cheap mother er
And why the does Sloan get a pass on quiting on his players mid season? Thats pretty bad.

Deron Williams is leaving anyway, because he doesn't have the balls to stay around and clean up his own mess. Just watch.
Apparently, he wanted to discipline DWill and management sided against him. If his star player doesn't listen to him and management doesn't back him up, how could he possibly continue to coach? He has no power.
Management is not without their blame here. The thing is, without a conflict with Deron, there is no management issue or role to misplay. They should know better, though. Cleveland kow-towed to every whim of LeBron's and he walked out anyway. Deron will, too. Just watch.
Messed up way to end a great thing. Wow.. People are shocked here in Utah. I talked to my friend here and he said that he was 4 when Sloan started as head coach. He knows nothing else but Sloan and the Jazz... the Jazz are not the Jazz without Sloan. He cried. Makes me wonder what it will be like when Pop leaves... I started being a fan when the spurs had John Lucas and Bob Hill... but most of my life, its been Pop.
Management has all the blame unless Deron went to them and asked to have Sloan removed.
I think Pop will hold to his word and leave when Tim leaves. That will be a hard pill to swallow man.
Well I know I won't cry (
It will be a sad strange day. Thats for sure.
