Dude should've hung it up a year or two before that if we're keeping it 100
I was the fat kid when I found out we had traded for
He fukking BALLED his couple months in Jersey until he got hurt. I remember him dropping 55 on the Bobcats like it was yesterday
Granted the Bobcats were the WOAT team, and he was playing with dudes like Kris Humphries and Johan Petro.The move to Brooklyn + playing with dudes he never meshed well with + the injuries murked his potential HOF career. If the Nets would have stayed in Jersey and built the team around HIM here, dude would probably still be in the league.

Exactly. The move to Brooklyn and poor GMing forced the team to make too many bad deals and sign washed players.

He also played with a ton of injuries in this era in the nba you sit out/have surgery until it was 90% (bad wrist, bad ankles)

Utah is kinda like the Spurs.They know how to make players look better than they actually are.
So systematic with it.

The #1 Rated Mixtape of all Time
Deron was never meant to be a superstar personality wise
Wasted Paul Pierce and KG’s last gasps (he should’ve been the face of that squad instead of another cog)
Couldn’t even handle the offense when Bron went out, not even during the regular season
Lost the eternal battle to a guy who just got to the WCF last year

Would have been a Hof if he stayed in Utah
This is why I say all the time that coaching matters.I remember when CP3 vs.
He becameway quicker than I thought. He was already past his prime when he was with the Nets.
How many NBA players you think goin willingly retire at 30/31?

These aren't facts. Utah was better than New Orleans. Boozer, Kirilenko, Okur, young Millsap, Korver. D-Will's supporting cast was better and his coaching situation was better with Jerry Sloan, who is one of the greatest coaches of All-Time. Also, D-Will was never near CP3 on the defensive side of the ball.

Yup, that P&R heavy flex offense that Jerry Sloan teams ran was tailor made for D-Will. He never put up assists numbers like he did in Utah and became more of a scoring guard in New Jersey/Brooklyn.
