  • Millsap deal makes the team better than the Big Al trade

    Votes: 10 23.3%

  • Jefferson deal has more impact than the Millsap trade

Also, I think Splitter would probably end up being a real-er piece. I am not high on guys that need the ball in their hands, are small, and aren't PGs.

I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic, but Al has been holding this organization hostage since he came here in one way or another* and it seems that the Jazz have Stockholm Syndrome now.

*take your pick of: plays that are even able to be run (or are but aren't executed well), a 20-possession tax put on your team every night, him being the only big that has never and will never be benched or have his minutes cut into if others under him are playing better, ability to impact the game in transition, put the other team in any kind of foul trouble...

Any trade involving Al makes the most impact on the team and it really doesn't matter what's coming back.

If the Jazz could get a corpse with an expiring contract and a future protected #1 for Al right now I'd take it like it was Christmas.

Wouldn't you say though that Big Al epitomises the Jazz org. as a whole? Takes high % shots. Takes no risks. Slow to react. Patience (letting the clock run down to 5 seconds left before passing), etc, etc.

Big difference between someone who can "take high % shots" and someone who can "make a high % of shots."

I will definitely admit my choice is taking the safer approach. I just feel like we are going to get Burke in the draft. I feel it is destiny.
 
I really don't care who of the two is traded, so long as at least one is and the Jazz get assets back in return. Both of those bigs are gone after the year, or at least they should be. We're all afraid that one or both of them is going to be re-signed, but it's not a safe assumption that either can be. Sap probably wants to go somewhere he can be assured of starting long term, and I assume Jefferson is going to get over paid by somebody. Who says the Jazz could bring either one back even if they wanted to?

The goal should be to get something useful for pieces that aren't going to be here long term. They should do now what they failed to do with Carlos Boozer and AK-sell high. And don't sell me that "cap flexibility" crap they gave us when those two walked.
