Will The Jazz get "Carmeloed"?????

With the trade of Carmelo Anthony to the New York Knicks, I have to wonder what Jazz fans are feeling.  This same scenerio could be happening to the Jazz in 2012.  Deron Williams could do the same thing forcing them to trade him to a team of his choice.  When did NBA players get so much power? Granted, Williams has not publicly hinted to wanting out of Utah but there was a rumor during the NBA All-Star weekend that he has told confidants he would like to join the Knicks when he becomes a free agent in 2012.
Jazz fans instantly become worried and our little brother complex starts to emerge when the subject comes up of players looking to leave Salt Lake.  Time will only tell.  Can the Jazz field a championship caliber team?  Will the NBA labor situation create a new salary structure?  Has Deron Williams already made up his mind?  There are many questions to be answered in the coming months.  This much is sure: Carmelo Anthony being traded to the Knicks has gotten the attention of Jazz fans.  A year from now Jazz fans could be waking up and reading about their superstar leaving and forming a trio of his own in another city.

  1. And now that Jerry Sloan has left, players will have even less incentive to stay with the Jazz because their future is so unclear. What they need is for the new coach to step up and get them deep into the playoffs next year so that people can see that the Jazz aren't going away.
