Would you rather have Harrington or Al or is it possible for both?? TPE and 1st rounder for Al and sign Al to the MLE and have him play the 3. Would you be forced to trade aK if you made these deals?
Sign Tolliver for cheap 2-3 year deal, sign Shannon Brown cheap for a 2-4 year deal or Shaun Livingston and Brewer for a 2 year deal
D will, Brown,Price
CJ,Hayward,Brewer
Harrington,AK,Brewer
Millsap,Tolliver,AK
AL,Fes,Koufus/Memo when back

I think both were factors. He really started off slow due to the injury. And Love came on strong during that time so they ended up splitting a lot of the time he would normally get.

I'd like to co-sign on the fact that calling Jefferson an "undersized" Center is just about as retarded as it gets. People tend to forget that teams like the Lakers are the exception to the rule when it comes to 7 footers. On most of the nights during an NBA season, Jefferson will be as tall as the man he's guarding, sometimes even taller.
A 6'10" Forward/Center who's only 25 years old and has proven he can average 20+ PPG and 10+ RPG is EXACTLY what the Jazz need. As far as defense goes, I remember hearing Gordon Chiesa talking about "defensive" players in the NBA. He said it's the most over used term in the NBA because about 1% of the players in the league are bonafide defensive stoppers and the other 99% are on the same level. He said when evaluating a player, you need to be more concerned about the effort he puts into playing defense. Gordon Chiesa is a pimp and should never be questioned.
In replacing Boozer, I would say I would have to give the Jazz an "A" if they were able to land Jefferson. They got a younger version of Boozer who just may prove to have more upside.
