Other Team's GMs and Message Boards.

The Bulls GM definitely doesn't read message boards, or more specifically, our message board. Do you think Chicago targets CJ, Bell and Jefferson this year?
 
Al has always played for bad teams. Now playing for a great organization he has taken coaching and is learning to play the right way. He averaged a career high in assists this year His foot work is better than any other bigman in the league. Previously he was onlyu able to score in the deep post, but now he has developed an outside jumper which has greatly changed the way other teams defend him, he shot an amazing percentage from 3-pt.
 
I can envision it now, some GM calls up KOC and says to the man he says, "Would a second round pick net Al Jefferson?" KOC: "What would ever make you think I'd trade Jefferson for garbage?" The GM answers by saying, "Well, your team's message board don't think he worth nothin'."

BAM! In your face Jazzfanz!
 
Cant believe this thread is serious, if it is. So, you are saying that because a few Big Al haters state their hate for Big Al on this forum non stop (which is their right, it is a forum), then it will drive down his trade value because obviously, any GM in his right mind will be checking here to see what kind of a player Al is? Obviously, people in the "know" post here so it must be a valuable resource to teams and GMs. Wow, just wow.

Him developing that outside jumper was the worst thing to happen to his game. Al Jefferson is a less cool Boozer.

His footwork is better than any other big man in the league? He couldn't do anything in the paint in this series and has such great feet that he can't use them to rotate on defense.

Good thing a GM will see that you only have two green dots by your name and realize that your opinion isn't worth as much as some others.

PS. Big Al is pretty much a 6'11" Kobe Bryant. He can score on anyone when he's not triple/quadruple teamed like he was in this series. The best part is, is even when he IS triple and quadruple teamed, he's still so confident in his footwork and skills that he will refuse to pass and still try to score. That's the definition of "heart", bitches!
 
I'm not suggesting they do or should, BTW. Just a question/something to think about. I personally have a tough time envisioning that an organization wouldn't put a little time into reading message boards just as an additional scouting route (there are indeed very good posters on many boards, and it's not hard to find them) and not approached as a primary decision-making tool.

I bet most GMs and team personnel think message boards are a cesspool of fandom.

That's all nice and dandy but the fact of the matter is this is re-al-it-ty, and he is going to get double/triple/quadruple teamed, therefore he will not be able to do whatever it is that he does.
 
...I actually work for ESPN. I have been here scouting for some new sports writers.


So that's it. That's my story.

I liked what you had to say up until you said that Jefferson developed an outside shot and was only able to score in the post until this year. That is not true. One of the reasons Jazz traded for him is because he abused the Jazz, I remember one game where he was draining shots mid range shots face up and turn around when he played for Minnesota. Jefferson has developed as a player. He is trying harder on defense especially on pick and rolls. He is not good on pick and rolls but he is putting more effort into it. His assists are going way up and he is passing a lot more out of the post. If Jazz could make 3's I think he would have great assist numbers and it make his post life much easier. Which is one reason I hate the "big lineup" is our lack of shooting consistently. I really hope next season is not the big lineup. I would be fine with Millsap at 3 if our PF or Center could hit a 3 and still play D. Outside of the Miami game Millsap is not a 3 point shooter, it is out of his range.
