Yep, I like that when he is open for 3, instead of shooting it, he just uses the space available to attack the rim.

Jefferson sucks. Jefferson can't play on a winning team. Jefferson can't defend. Jefferson doesn't make his teammates better. Jefferson is a black hole. Jefferson sucks against the Lakers. Why does Hayward suck? Why can't Hayward make a layup? Why can't Hayward rebound. What has happened to Hayward's 3pt shot? Why can't Hayward be Paul George. But oh yeah! Boston would totally love to give up their best trade asset to get both of these guys!
1. Boston believes Rondo's worth alot more than Big Al and Hayward. He's their only token to rebuilding quickly once the window officially closes on the Big-3. It should be apparent by now that Big Al isn't a piece you build around if you have championship aspirations like the Celtics do - he's a piece you get if your team wants to tread water.
2. Rondo also is not the missing piece this Utah Jazz team needs - unless we plan on simultaneously surrounding Rondo with above-average talent at the 2, 3 and 4.

So one knock on his game and you don't like him?

IMO Jefferson would be a good fit for Boston. They don't run and their spacing would make doubling AJ very difficult. It is not inconceivable that they would value him highly.
Personally I would rather include the GS pick than Hayward. Then again I tend to undervalue draft picks compared to most fans.

Jazz fans want a point guard with Rose's ability to attack the rim, Paul's ability to probe the defense, Rondo's perimeter defense, Russell Westbrook's first step, Steph Curry's shooting touch, Steve Nash's passing ability with Kyrie Irving's upside on a NBA minimum contract. Is that too much to ask for?

Rondo is not overrated,we are overrating our players.when we lose,most of us call our players garbage,junk,trash,we want to send them to d-league.when it comes to trade ideas,all of a sudden they get sooo ****in valuable.
if i suggest we trade bigal for dwight haward,some of you will say orlando should add couple of first round picks to trade.

Rondo is owed 16 more million dollars than any current Jazz man.
He is not a center piece to build around.
Those two things override any positive for me, so I would pass on a deal for him, especially any deal that adds one of the four lotto picks from the last two years.

? I'm confused as to where you got that I don't like Rondo or I was knocking his game.
This PG has a bad attitude and he won't commit to a losing team unconditionally. Don't want him.

Oh, I thought you were being sarcastic about his shooting ability. My bad.
I just meant that I like that he recognizes his poor shooting and uses it to his advantage (at times) by driving into the lane.

Ditto!! Building a great team through the draft is generally just a mirage. Especially if you are afraid to use those players!!!!!
I am amazed to find otherwise intelligent people here speculating on who the Jazz draft picks could be next year. We will have no clear idea who they might be until the Jazz "go on the clock". Then we are usually wrong.

Remember guys, to make a trade in the NBA the contracts have to match unless one of the two teams is way under the salary cap. I started a thread about this in Friday after the Jazz lost. The realistic trade that I could see us doing is Rondo and Jermaine O'Neal for Millsap and Harris. Jefferson makes too much money for him to be involve in a trade to Boston unless you trade him for two or more players. In the Millsap/Harris for Rondo/O'Neal proposed deal the contracts match. It works on ESPN.com's NBA Trade Machine as well as in RealGM.com's Trade Checker. This is the one that I could see us making. Millsap needs to be on a team in which he is either the 6th man or the 3rd/4th scoring option in the starting lineup. He would be that in Boston.

Realistic? No, but who wouldn't want a pg on their team like this. Even though Rondo may currently have a bad attitude, I think that Rondo would be great with the young and talented (possible/hopeful) team that we have. I think that AJ + AB might do it better then AJ and GH. They would have to throw in something more though. Maybe an "over the hill" Ray Allen. Works in the trade checker here is the Real GM trade number (Trade ID #6023429).

Boston already has Bass who is similar to Sap and plays that role. Al makes much more sense there. They can make it work if the teams want to do it.

Trade for Satan. I hear he's pretty good.
