Okay Al Jefferson has showed lots of signs of not wanting to stay here. So I say trade him for a some picks & dumping contracts so we can sign Nicholas Batum out of Portland, but I would love to build around Kanter & Favors at C and PF. And Millsap will be lovely coming of the bench.
You guys thoughts?

It actually looks more like a Jazz fan pretending to be a Hornets fan that's pretending to be a Jazz fan.
 
Damn do you run everyone of the site! I should call the police for stalking a darn 16yr old! Hahaha

Al hasn't shown signs of wanting to leave, but I think we might be better off to trade him if we can get a nice deal. Easy to say, of course.
 
On a serious note, I have been thinking more and more about what might happen if the Jazz make the playoffs. Let me pose a question to all of you. If the Jazz make the playoffs, what does KOC do with Jefferson? I am sure that many of you are going to say that he will be traded during the off-season or before the trade deadline. Really? Would KOC really trade Corbins go to guy?

Jefferson is playing over 30 minutes a night. Corbin gets tired of trying to think of something creative for the offense so he tells everyone on the court to get the ball to Jefferson on the low block and get out of the way. I can just see the conversation now:

KOC: "Ty, we need to look at trading Jefferson. What kind of pieces should I attempt to acquire for your schemes?"
Corbin: "You can't do that! Jefferson is the best player on the team. I need you to find him a trainer that can get him to the point that he can play for 48 minutes playing at a high level."

KOC: "You are asking for the impossible. Clearly Favors is ready for big minutes and I believe that Millsap is a better player than Jefferson right now."
Corbin: "This is crazy talk. Our offense is Jefferson. You really want to get rid of that?"

KOC: "I am sure that you can create some sort of system that can better utilize Hayward, Favors, Millsap and Burks. They all have talent and are wiling to work."
Corbin: "Are you asking me to coach?"

Ok, that was fun but time to get serious again. If the Jazz make it to the playoffs and the Jazz show any sort of promise I can easily see Jefferson staying around for a while. Not just next year, but I can see him being around for a few seasons. This year has been rough, and not because of the losing. It has been tough to watch the offense stagnate, under perform and just generally suck. I can't handle a few more seasons of that, let alone a few more.

Maybe missing the playoffs is the best thing for the future of the franchise and it has nothing to do with more draft picks. It has everything to do with the young guys feeling a need to step up and be the man. Jefferson is making that awfully hard right now.

I honestly feel like there might not have been enough practice time for Ty to teach these guys decent offense. Remember, Ty used the training camp to get his new defensive philosophy of force baseline in.

I hope this is the case. I seriously hate watching this offense a majority of the time this year. Every now and they they look great. Then they look like crap the rest of the time.
 
I don't think Al is our long-term solution. Millsap and Favors are the guys, and we should trade Al for some good picks or a young but proven shooter. Al has his good points, but not for the Jazz. I don't want Favors watching Al for too long and using him as an example of how to be the best offensive black hole on the team.
