Trade THE **** out of Al Jefferson.

Dude is a dud. His tradition of losing is not a coincidence and if we're rebuilding, we have even less than no use for him.

How this Deron trade didn't contain a salary dump for Memo and/or Jefferson astounds me. But not as much as losing the two things left that gave this team an identity, especially since they seem to have been the reason both are now gone.

Send Harris and Jefferson to Dallas for Caron Butler's expiring, Beaubois, and some picks. If we're going to be a faceless mess, let's do it right.
 
Dallas wouldn't want anything to do with him imo. I don't know, maybe they would but I doubt it.

Toronto on the other hand needs a big badly. If they won't trade their 1st this year because they're currently the 4th worst team, do it for next year's 4th and Peja's expiring.

Peja got bought out and is now a Maverick.

With the shooters and defenders that the Mavericks have, he might actually do well there. He could be a monster off the bench for them.

Please let this happen. Also, is there any question that Al is depressed as hell right now?

Mavs are fools' gold. I don't trust that team, and that's mainly due to Dirk's skillsets; if you need post scoring, as teams often do in the playoffs, just how much are the Mavs going to get?

We've seen this again and again with Nowitzki and that team.

I think Jefferson would have been a major signing for them, as he could be both a gimmick option and the piece that truly would create low-post offense in a major playoff series..

He's terrible in Utah's system, but that's because he was supposed to be option 2 or 1b.
 
Also, FWIW, keep Millsap. We need someone that plays hard and leads by example, even/especially if he really isn't that good if we're hoping to make the most of the upcoming lottery pick. And especially since his salary is less than Jefferson's.

Jefferson is wasting his time and Gail's money being here and he's a good guy that deserves to win at some point.
 
Okay, so Jefferson to the Mavs for Butler's expiring and filler (Beaubois?) and a 1st.

Then AK for Wallace and Nazr's expiring.

If we could unload Bell in one of these too, that would be FAN-tastic.

Then, Okur would be the only albatross left and hell, he's an expiring next year.
 
If we don't have a Jazz system anymore, I'd just as soon design one to use Al more effectively. Guys with his post skills don't grow on trees.
 
How about someone convinces the Warriors that Jefferson is their answer at center, we let them keep their first-rounder, and they give us Stephen Curry. Maybe I'm just a little rambunctious here.

It doesn't. That's the point. Most teams that don't run intensive motion offenses can use guys like Al. So can we. Hopefully Corbin plans to do just that.

You can use him. And win about twenty games.

Utah was a high-powered halfcourt, low post and motion offense that needed a great post player to fully realize its value.

I was hoping he'd make a turn, but I really, really doubt that this will happen. And the system is wrecked, along with the franchise PG being gone.

Epic. Fail.

Also, just let me say, **** gREG mIller.

Yep. This.

Agreed with everything you've been writing.
 
Firesale and tank really? With the picks they just acquired? Jazz aren't going to get as bad as Cleveland and won't be getting a top 3 pick out of the lottery anytime soon. They might be able to parlay their lottery plus NJ's into a top 3 somewhere down the road, hopefully in a stronger draft class.

How many times did Earl Watson sub in and lead the Jazz back into contention? This team is not dead in the water. Let's see what KOC can do. Denver is on constant discussion with KOC, Rigby, or someone high up. Probably Portland too. Charlotte wants something and Houston is surely piqued.

Sloan is laughing right now. "New Jersey, bitch".
