Al was traded for Kouf and two crappy first round picks.
The Jazz treat him as if he was Dwight Howard.
That's my problem.

vindictive much?
We'll see, but I'm coming up with quotes from KOC right now for why we didn't make a move.
"We like our assets"
"we like our flexibility"
"Mediocrity is ****ing awesome"
"I grew up in a plastic bubble, so I'm averse to taking risks"
It's still early in the day. The deals that have happened so far have been small, low-stakes deals.
I don't think they have.
Big Al is a far cry from the drama queen that is Dwight. C'mon.
More like fairweather.
So Jefferson for Biedrins and Bargnani?

No, he is just boring.
Fine fair gripe. However if I ran the Jazz and saw that some of my fans, such as you, stopped supporting the team because I didn't do what they wanted I wouldn't give a damn what you thought.

Does that trade ensure the Jazz don't resign Al and open up playing time for more efficient players?

I wouldn't either. Because I would know that I have fans like stoked who will pay to watch mediocre basketball.
As opposed to all the fans that stop supporting the team and suddenly there is no team. Stop trying to act like a dick because you fail at it.
If you want to pretend there is no difference between continuing to support your team and blanket condoning of every action they take then fine. You are wrong but fine.

Fairweather? Like I have said, I have watched all Jazz games for a long time. I loved the 42-42 season and was excited about Arroyo's future.
If I was a fairweather fan, I would be liking this year, because the Jazz are winning.
The real answer is more along these lines: bored fan.
Bored of watching Al throw up a weezy with four guys on him...and miss.
I usually tune in about 7:45...end of the first beginning of the second, when Al goes out. At halftime, I put the kids to bed, tune back in end of the third...when Al is out. Usually don't watch the end of the game once Al comes back in.
I'm just bored with him.
I haven't been keeping up with the Raja news. Why are the Jazz holding onto him? Is it a pride thing? "Don't act like a douche or we will sit your @$$ at home with pay!"
How is being tied 6th in the strong Western Conference mediocre exactly?
Presumably. Either that or he's injured and untradable or something. It seems like we got really butthurt about the whole dispute and told him to pound sand. Hard to know though.
Because there is zero chance for a meaningful post-season run?
I agree that this is not a team that will progress in the playoffs.
I understand if there's no deal on the table, I just wish that management would more strongly push development of younger players over trying to win at all costs. A trade of Millsap or Al would mostly comfort me that they understand this, and know that Jazz fans aren't stupid.
