[size=7]Ready or Not, Here we go![/size] SALT LAKE CITY - Deron Williams and company have a long way to go but there is no tomorrow for GM Marco. Some weeks ago, He decided to retire as Jazz manager after this season and there was no signal of him backing up. For that reason, trade talks started coming like they used to in the off-season when it was all about building for the future. The original idea was to trade for Manu Ginobili but things got messy and negotiations simply banished. Consequently, GM Marco started looking elsewhere until he was able to rebump old conversations with Bulls and reach an agreement with Mavs for Josh Howard. While the deal with Bulls is all about the present, getting Howard was for the team's sake. Former Defensive Player of the year, "Big Ben" Wallace will obviously add character, experience and energy to this young team in need of strong veteran leadership and Howard will give some extra defense to an already good defensive team. Moreover, Josh will only make $11.8 M in 3 years allowing the Jazz to re-sign Williams and Granger. [dohtml]<table width=500 border=1><tr><td> </td></tr><tr><td>[size=1]Big Ben came to make the difference. [/size]</td></tr></table>[/dohtml] "I honestly wasn't looking to trade Joe Johnson and the rest of the players that are now gone but things got a 180 degrees spin and I needed to make changes. Many could say that going after Wallace was for my personal glory and they are partially right because I do want to win. However, they are not totally right because I love this city and I tried to do what I thought it was right for the team. Getting Josh Howard was all about that and I am sure they will appreciate it in the future." Commented GM Marco on the recent moves. All in all, it looks like Jazz are done trading and this time it is for real. |

IceTrash is one of the original GMs from 2 years ago so he probably knows what he is talking about.
