Why we need to Trade Jefferson through February 6th (Stats)

Groan.......

Wins DO NOT MATTER this year! And besides, you can argue this team functions better offensively AND defensively without Al Jefferson on the floor.

Who will score without Al? Does it really matter? The team plays better without him and Kanter/Favors will be able to develop more along with Evans who deserves more minutes. And again, WINS DO NOT MATTER THIS YEAR!

In a Jazz fans fantasy world with everything going according to plan with our young guys developing, say we are competing for a championship in the next 3-6 years, do you think Al Jefferson will be on that team? The answer is no.

Trade Al Jefferson, and while we are at it please trade Devin Harris as it is painful to watch him play.

Our three most effective on the court +/- combinations have him in them and he is the leading scorer during that time. The second most points total (behind millsap) are scored when he is on the court. Although more points are given up while on the court than scored but this is about his offensive ability. The only starter shooting a better percentage is Millsap and he turns the ball over less than Millsap and slightly more assists per game. Backups only Favors and obviously evans are shooting better but you cant compare since they dont play against the same quality of opponents. Points per game kind of matter too at the end of the game when you say who our best offensive player is.

1. These 3 "most effective" lineups have played a combined 40 minutes all season. The Jazz have been outscored when Al is on the floor. Both the offense and defense are more efficient when Al is off the floor.

2. Shooting percentage isn't all that great a measure of offensive efficiency, as it doesn't account for drawn fouls or 3-pointers. Al is currently 8th on the team in TS%.

3. Al is not good enough to run an offense through, and not versatile or smart enough to be an effective role player. $14mm should get you more.
 
Hmmm....it's true the Jazz have been outscored this season while Al is on the floor..

but..

the New York Giants just won the Super Bowl despite being outscored during the regular season. So if we just keep Al Jefferson and then manage to sneak into the playoffs, we are golden. Well played Jazz front office, well played.
