Sources say, that Deron said he wanted to leave after last season and follow Amare to NYC.  CBS Sports, Hoops Hype, NBA.COM

Rather than deny the allegations for the next year and half and say, "Oh no I didn't say that" I wish he would just sack up and say, "yup I want out of Utah." I want a bigger media stage to play for. I want to play in the Eastern Conference, where even with a losing record I can still make the playoffs. And yes, I want to make more money off my Nike deal with more exposure in a bigger market.

I/we have been prediciting this day for about a year an half, and as much as people didn't want to believe it, they knew that some sort of announcement like this would happen. Most people just thought it would come later than a year and half before Deron could leave.

Parity gets locked out of Party. Just for the record, I am in favor of a Hard Cap and Franchise Tag ala NFL. The NBA is slowly becoming like the MLB and will become more and more irrelavant if they can't figure something out.
