Al Jefferson to Utah? ...Mark Stein's Twitter reports

[billyshelby]

LOL, which one of you guys changed his Wikipedia?

That's insane. God I hope it's true.

So we're exchanging Boozer @ $15 mil x 5 years, for Al Jefferson @ $13 mil. x 3 years. Jefferson is younger, bigger, plays inside, and is cheaper. Good move.

plz KOC get it done!!!!! hes a proven low post guy with height. this is the guy we need to replace boozer!!!! and if we sign someone like morrow or q-rich, any shooter who can come cheap after that to replace the loss of matthews and korver, we would be about the same or even better than the squad we had last year.. please grow balls and pull this one out KOC!!!

D-will-Price
q-rich-hayward
CJ- AK
MIllsap-AK
Jefferson-Memo

Both Morrow and Q-rich are gone already I think.

In regards to Fesenko, the Jazz can continue to go over the cap all they want to resign their own free agents as long as the Millers don't mind paying the tax again. In theory, Utah could add Jefferson, sign Fesenko and even match Matthews if they wanted to.....

And do sign and trade for Brewer for Harps exception. And also keep Korver. Miller would be bankrupt, but who gives a ****.

well 14M (3y/42M)

Now flip another TPE to Toronto for Marco Belinelli to replace Korver and play back-up PG.

Guys, looks like KOC took a lead to acquire Jefferson: https://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/38215581/ns/sports-player_news/

Look on the right. It says he is on the Mavericks in the sidebar. Someone is messing with all of us!

 

[Chad Feldheimer]

Can we hurry and re-sign Raul Lopez and include him? The GM for Minne sure has a boner for Spanish guys who won't play in Minnesota.

it better not be a Fes signing.


Archie: You owe the OP a big phat apology!

YES! Looks like we've landed Big Al! Now let's hope that we didn't give up too much. I'm ok with a 1st & 2nd, or even 2 2nd's...two 1st's would be a stretch but it'd probably be ok. Getting a 18-20/10 guy at 25 y/o is HUGE for us. This is a much wiser use of $13M than Wes Matthews and Al Harrington. Worth the gamble, imo.

 

[prodigy]

I wonder what picks we will be giving up, I wouldn't mind giving up a first rounder, I mean those late draft picks haven't really helped us anyways

Could be Brewer as well.

Is that for real? I mean if Greg said this, the move is a done deal. No one is so stupid as to say I approved the move, if didn't actually already happen, not even Greg Miller.
