This is not really shocking. They've been butting heads all season. Deron has basically said "it's him or me".
Sloan and Williams have been together for 5+ seasons now. Why is it boiling over now? I have never heard of disharmony between them. There must be something else.
So they decided to go with Williams instead of Sloan. Doesn’t Deron have a player option this summer? He could leave the Jazz high and dry. That would be epic.
I would like to see what he can do with Cousins and Evans in Sacramento. In a clash of egos, who wins between Cousins and Sloan, after Dwill's victory?
