    Interesting Al Jefferson/Chris Paul rumor that effects the Jazz

    I don't mean to be rude, but I don't understand how you could misunderstand what you just read so badly. That rumor says that the T-Wolves are "urging" the Mavericks to give them Dampier's expiring [and non-guaranteed] contract...meaning Minnesota is NOT looking for significant assets. It's...

    Why not resign AK?

    He actually plays about 65-70 games a year. There have only been two seasons where he's missed really major time - 04-05 and this past year. I admit that the amount of small injuries he gets is annoying, but the truth is it's not that uncommon among NBA players. Lots of players, good players...

    Al Jefferson?

    That's not necessarily true, either. Getting the trade exception is just basic business in the NBA - the Jazz lose nothing by having it, and they can either use it or not use it. Trade exceptions expire all the time without teams using them. I would certainly like to think that they're serious...

    Al Horford and Marc Gasol

    There's no way Memphis is going to get rid of Gasol at this point - especially not after Thabeet's abysmal rookie year. Don't be ridiculous. Bring plausible suggestions to the forums or don't talk.

    Al Jefferson?

    The Boozer trade exception expires after one year. The Jazz can't wait til next offseason.

    Al Jefferson?

    By the way, for everyone saying that Minnesota "won't just give Jefferson away" or will demand something major for him: that may not be the case. According to multiple reports, the T-Wolves have been trying to convince the Mavericks to simply give them Dampier (plus "draft considerations") in a...

    what players are the jazz looking to add this summer now!

    They're not friendly. It wasn't exclusive to Pritchard.

    Al Jefferson?

    Do you know anything about Jefferson's game? If you did, you might understand why he doesn't fit with the Phoenix offense. He's not a running PF. The Suns need players who run. A lot. He can run well enough to do so in transition, but he's not a great fit for an up-tempo team that likes to run...

    Al Jefferson?

    Provided he could adapt to a pick-and-roll offense (admittedly a question mark), Jefferson would be a MASSIVE offensive upgrade over Millsap, and Millsap could go back to doing what he does best - being a hard-working backup/sixth man. And please remember that AK's contract comes off the books...

    Al Jefferson?

    Millsap has been coming off the bench his entire career, and he was going to continue coming off the bench if Boozer had been re-signed. He'd deal with it. What I'm saying is, getting Jefferson would essentially give us the exact same scenario we would have had if Boozer had been re-upped -...

    Al Jefferson?

    It's called depth, sweetheart. Boozer and Millsap is better than just Millsap, regardless of the former's inability to play defense. The same could be said for Jefferson and Millsap being better than just Millsap - that is, assuming that Jefferson can learn how to run the pick-and-roll instead...

    now that minnesotas frontcourt is loaded...

    I would definitely take a chance on him if we could get him in a decent deal, but a couple things: 1. He doesn't run a pick-and-roll very well at all. Since Utah's entire offense is designed around it, there might be a tad of a learning curve, don't you think? 2. One of the reasons...

    Alright, since you're going to make fun of people's grammar - it's could HAVE, not could OF. COULD HAVE. Moron.

    Boozer double-crosses Nets. What else is new, eh?

    Try reading shelby's quote again, slugger. He was saying Chicago was much, much, much better than Newark/Brooklyn.

    Wrong again. Stop talking.

    Cleveland has contacted Jazz about S&T for Boozer

    Not true - Varejao would be a nice get for the Jazz - his playmaking ability on the defensive side of the ball in particular. The issue would be, I'm not sure the Cavs would part with both Hickson AND Varejao. Unless they parted with Jamison in a separate deal and brought in someone who could...

    Josh Smith being explored?

    Before you start coming up with theoretical trade scenarios, maybe pay attention to basketball. I don't know how many times someone has to say this, but here it goes again: DAVID LEE IS NOT A CENTER. He's only a center in the D'Antoni offense. He's 6-9, he doesn't play defense and he doesn't...

    Rumor: Okur for Deng?

    You want Elton Brand and that contract for the Jazz? Are you retarded? Or was that tongue-in-cheek? In which case I apologize.

    Rumor: Okur for Deng?

    Can you provide us with a link or something? I haven't seen anything on this rumor; it's not on Wojnarowski's free-agent buzz page and I haven't seen him Tweet about it, either. Maybe I missed it.
