Jazz could find a veteran FA center, I just don't think Dalembets age fits with the team. I would rather get some young assets.
Jefferson should officially be on the trading block

Don't we already have enough young assets? Isn't there such a thing as too many young assets? Where's the line between young assets and a Junior Jazz team? But yea, I guess we could find a veteran C somewhere (though Cs in general are a wanted commodity--Kurt Thomas is still in the league). I think I'd rather have Kevin Martin.

If its a straight up Jefferson for Martin the Jazz would be REALLY thin up front.

He is injury prone and doesn't play even decent defense. Sorry, if we are trading Jefferson then I want a pick or picks. We need to get a good SF and they don't just grow on trees.

Ha that's what I just said to someone's proposal to trade for Martin. But I'd rather have him than Hill/Thabeet. But really, I'd rather have what you just said, a good SF.

These trade ideas are great. If only KOC looked at Jazzfanz boards (has greg,koc,corbin, or any of players have confessed to looking at Jazzfanz?). I mean WHO predicted the D-will trade? Or even the Okur one?

Andre Iguodala
Andre Iguodala, is the lock down defender, point forward that will change the Jazz more than any other man out there. We then would be thin up front, so we could go sign Greg Ostertag. Just kidding. We can find a serviceable back up to pick up the time that Kanter, Favors, Millsap and Evans don't take. We could go get Joel Pryzbilla, or Elson again... or better yet.. John Amaechi out of retirement
Some of the joke aside about FA centers, Iggy would be huge. Sure his contract expires a year after Al, but I actually think he would opt out after next year to resign a big 4/5 year deal as a 29 year old then as a 30 year old free agent. Even if he did opt in for that 3rd year, it would be before the extensions for Hayward and Favors kick in. We need defense on the perimeter and we just don't have it.
Iggy is the answer.
Al/Bell for Iggy straight up. Or if Philly wants a wing instead of Al... Al to Houston... Martin to Philly.... Iggy to Utah... Bell to Houston or Philly.
KOC getter done!

unfortunately a big al for hill/thabeet trade doesn't match up salary-wise.

It works in the trade checker, Rockets still have some TPE I believe.

I think this is a great idea. I've always thought the Jazz should go after AI for all the reasons you stated. Lock-down defender, decent scorer, good guy on and off the court. And their salaries match up. And then get Pryz, a veteran C, who I've always thought would do well with the Jazz (interior defense, block shots, rebounds). KOC getter done!

Ah weird, doesn't work in Trade Machine, but I know they're sometimes behind.

what if we added one of our 1st round picks for next year? the golden state one? in an awesome draft? they might bite. and they've been looking to trade Iggy forever. and Big Al would be an upgrade over Hawes. A 3-man rotation of Brand, Big Al, and Hawes would be pretty formidable up front.

I think for the right pieces, they will. And there's this:
ESPN Fantasy Projection: After missing just six games in his first six seasons, Iguodala missed 15 games due to a sore Achilles. That contributed to a swoon in scoring and steals for Iggy last season, but it wasn't the only factor. The Sixers have a lot of young talent and his role changed under new coach Doug Collins. He became more of a facilitator than a scorer on offense, so he ended up making up for the 3-point drop in scoring with a 1.5-assist boost. Second-year player Evan Turner won't push Iguodala for minutes, but he may push the franchise to trade the vet, which could damage his value. In the meantime, expect Iggy to play 66 games and maintain his usual overall value.
So hope for Evan Turner to breakout!

And I know it's just a fantasy projection, not actual inside info, but I know Philly has been thinking/trying to trade him for years, but I speculate it's because they've been waiting for the right time and pieces for such a valuable player. Also, KOC came from Philly, and though what's-his-name is now in NJ, he might still hav a good enough relationship with other members of the 76ers front office to sweet talk them into taking Big Al and a lottery pick.

No. That's all.
