Deron Williams and the Utah Jazz have come to an agreement that will guarantee Deron max money for three more years and an optional fourth year.
Skittish Jazz fans were worried that uncertainty next year regarding Boozer might make Deron a little wary of signing, but he did so without too much delay. And always the naysayers, many fans were quick to point out that Deron did not sign for the maximum amount of 5 years.
Does this means that the Jazz are in trouble?
Hardly. He signed didn’t he. The Jazz can sign him again 4 years from now if he opts out, and 5 years from now if he doesn’t opt out. They don’t have their hands tied in any way because he signed for 4 years rather than 5 years.
