Did the Utah Jazz Trade Deron Williams to be able to Draft Jimmer Fredette?
"I have no idea what is going to happen in the draft. I don't necessarily think the Jazz were trying to get rid of Deron [Williams] -- a proven all-star, great player, top three point guard in the league -- to get me in the draft. I don't think that's what they were thinking about doing. I think that they just thought it was the best thing for them right now.
They got some good players that came over. They got some draft picks. So they just thought it was the best thing for them, and I don't think they were doing anything for me. But we will see what happens," [Jimmer] said.
