AboveLegit Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 “That was the hardest thing for me,” he says of playing recruiter for the Jazz. “I tried every summer. I played with the best guys year after year and guys that were becoming free agents and asked if they wanted to come play with me and they’re like, ‘In Utah?’” “I tried to tell people it’s a great city. If you want to go out and party every night, it’s not where you want to be. It’s a clean city. There’s a lot to do for families. The fans are great. Great foods. Great restaurants. The only thing it didn’t have is partying.”http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/basketball/2011/03/26/2011-03-26_people_get_deron_williams_name_wrong_all_the_time_but_the_nets_say_thats_all_abo.html?page=3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Swish* Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Utah = Toronto now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Toronto is a far more attractive city IMO. However, its tough for a young American player to go there too because its a completely different country and culture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChosenOne Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Utah = Toronto now? Was that ever in question? Toronto > Utah by alot. Utah would be a perfect fit for Jimmer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Swish* Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 It's true that Toronto is a more attractive place but what I mean is that most of the stars don't want to find themselves in Toronto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Check my Stats Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 People don't want to play for the Raptors, it has nothing to do with Toronto aka white vegas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guru Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 (edited) Everything he said makes perfect sense. I can understand why younger players would not want to live in Utah. I don't even know how this is news to be honest lol Edited March 29, 2011 by Guru Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lone Granger Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 This has been a very rough season for the Jazz. Things just have completely fallen apart for them with both their long-tenured coach retiring and Deron Williams leaving and now starting to talk some crap about the team that he swore he wanted to stay with. Very sad to see the Jazz starting to go downhill. Jimmer would definitely bring some crowd excitement back into the building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No American born player wants to leave his country willingly. I mean Canada is the shit...don't get me wrong. The parties in Montreal are [expletive]ing crazy.

Jimmer would definitely bring some crowd excitement back into the building.He's not really trash talking it as he's stated in the press conference that he loves Utah and even in that article he says about how nice it is there. And Toronto is perfect for young American players....who like to paaaaarty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newman Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Gordon Hayward and Jimmer...that's like Jeff Hornacek x 2. I can't say I am not excited by that potential pairing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
