Trade THE **** out of Al Jefferson.

How this Deron trade didn't contain a salary dump for Memo and/or Jefferson astounds me.

New Jersey didn't have any cap room. They'd have to pull in a 3rd team and give them something of value like the Golden State pick.

Trading with a different team for a better player was probably the goal, but apparently this was the best offer available. Too bad Curry for D-Will didn't make any more sense to GS than playing who they already have.
 
I am against trading Jefferson. He was improving before the break and will continue to improve.

Yes. He's really going to feel comfortable now.

His PPG average should be higher than the Jazz win totals over the next couple seasons.

It's Jefferson's time. Like Groundhog Day.
 
Is this a troll post?

No way. It amazes me how you guys can blame Al for this season, when the season is not even over yet and we are still in the playoffs. If you expected Al to come in and just take over like Gasol did for the Lakers, it just was not realistic. Remember, the Lakers did not lose any of their core players when they got Pau, while the Jazz lost Boozer, Korver and Matthews.
 
Jefferson doesn't have the ability to be blamed for this season. The point is circular.

You want to blame someone for this..."season". Flip a coin -- it's either Miller or O'Connor.
 
You can use him. And win about twenty games.

Utah was a high-powered halfcourt, low post and motion offense that needed a great post player to fully realize its value.

I was hoping he'd make a turn, but I really, really doubt that this will happen. And the system is wrecked, along with the franchise PG being gone.

Epic. Fail.

Also, just let me say, **** gREG mIller.

I dont get this at all. Great move by the Jazz. Easy move to make also. I bet KOC couldnt believe when it was offered or that they took it.
Also, who is the last franchise PG to wing a ring? Exactly..
Decent PG works just as well. You dont build a title from the PG out.
 
Stop teasing me. If we dumped Jefferson and got Hibbert AND traded Bell away to Minny as is rumored (here anyway), this would almost be the best day ever. The best day would include a trade of Memo to anywhere else.
 
my *** sends tweets from Indiana every now and then.

No way we get Hibbert for Al. I think we could get Paul George for one of our PFs
 
Look at it this way, if Derrick Favors gets any burn then maybe you can all forget about how little Al Jefferson dunks. That's all Favors does, and with a little authority.
 
Al Jefferson is a good player: 18/9/2. He's a great 2nd option. He should be playing PF most of the time, not C. He's a building block.

Why would we want to trade him?
 
If we don't have a Jazz system anymore, I'd just as soon design one to use Al more effectively. Guys with his post skills don't grow on trees.

...guys with his post skills??? What games have you been watching? Jefferson is nothing more than a board crasher with an extremely low basketball IQ! If you can't pickup the pick and roll with Deron as your point guard....your never going to get it! Talking about fools gold.....that's Jefferson and his post game for ya! Nobody's going to give us much for Jefferson, that's for sure!
