Obviously.

I'm sick of people acting like it's because of 1 game.

His heart is not the question. It's his size and ability that's a problem. Also he has shown very little of that Championship heart for a while now.
LOL ... rep'd.
Truth.
Exactly. If you look at it as a business as bad as Al is on defense he's still a good insurance policy.
It's the same reason Koc went out and got Foye and Marv. in the offseason instead of handing the wheels to Burks and Demare.
You have to read between the lines bro...lol

Oh I've read between the lines. I narrow down my ideas by the day. That's why I'd hope that if the Jazz did keep Jefferson, they sign him to a juicy one year deal, trade Millsap this year for a big expiring next year and go for a big name that year.
But the ball don't lie, the stats don't lie, Jefferson is a worst player for a playoff team than Tracy McGrady ever was. Greg Miller though probably is lightyears away from seeing that.

yeah, true. it's for a year and a half. kanter, burks and favors stil don't get more minutes. i'm all for radical changes as long as we keep favors, kanter, hayward (and burks). first we need to get rid of fatterson, chuckyfoy, tacobell and pu**y tyco.

We have to keep playing Millsap and Jefferson big minutes until the trade deadline regardless of performance, it is the only way we will get anything of value for either of them. If the trade deadline passes and Jefferson and Millsap are still on the team and still getting the majority of minutes that is a HUGE problem. I will also be livid if we resign Mo Williams. This has actually been my favorite part of the season watching the Jazz because Mo Williams is not playing. Why resign a guy that is injured all the time and cannot run the point and is too small to play the 2? Makes no sense to me. There is a reason he has been on so many teams, he is not that good.

do you expect this scared and conservative front office to make a move by trade deadline?
People who call the Jazz FO "scared and conservative" need to get their heads checked. Just because they don't do as many trades as you do when you manage your 2k13 team, doesnt mean they are conservative and scared.

I honestly do believe something will happen with at least one of them. At least they have put themselves in a situation where there should be some decent offers. If no deal is offered to make the team better, then you let them both expire. Problem is if they do not move 1 of them I think this coaching staff still would play Millsap and Jefferson the majority of the minutes. That is what scares me most if they do nothing.

when by trade deadline the front office won't get a solution for our load of bigmen, then you will need your head checked.
If you pick on a straw man it makes it appear that you don't have any valuable critiques to an argument. All moves we make have been reactionary. The last out-of-the-blue non-forced move we made was getting Fisher. We got Korver because of Sloan's problem with Giricek. We've been passive about every RFA we've had. We waited for Boozer to leave before we pursued trade exception. We sat on our hands with AK. When we felt compelled, we traded our franchise player, which you could say is risky. But we traded him for two guys that two years later are glued to the bench. We will sit on our hands with the Al/Paul situation. I think the possibility of an Al or Paul trade is about 15%, with Paul more likely to be traded.
You know a good head doc?
I know we all LOVE to HATE big Al but in the final 3 minutes VS Pacers, when we've got nothing going, dump it down to Big Al and he scored 5 straight points for us.
Again in the OT, nothing going offensively, Al scored the first 4 straight points, all 1-on-1 against Hibbert. Then scored again when there's 2 min. left. Then AGAIN with 36 seconds left he SCORED.
We can hate him all day long, but it's a fact that he's the main reason we just beat the Pacers.
This is why I believe the Jazz front office Greg/KOC/Lindsey will re-sign Big Al and keep him here. With no obvious superstar in the team, he provides us offense when there's nothing else on. He's an insurance policy we stay afloat in the playoffs race each year and that's good for business.
Sorry folks, but it's a business at the end of the day.

Jefferdad would look okay with an actual offense, and a player who can create. Whereas we have none, but BUIG AWLL!
Trading for Mo, trading for Marvin. How were any of those moves forced or reactionary?
The Jazz knew they needed some shooting and they went out and made some great moves to get it.
