Teams that cant stop anyone (Like boozer and okur in the defensive end) can win games but they cant be contenders.
Millsap and Jefferson stop a little bit better, but they didnt have a good big man coming off the bench like millsap backed up boozer and memo. And honestly, Jefferson may be a good scorer but for a team to be contender with Jefferson on the line up, there should also be a stopper like Howard to compensate his defensive clumsiness

That's why I think Jefferson to Indiana makes some sense. Could play PF there along with Hibbert at center for a dominating front line. They have a dilemma with Danny Granger and Paul George both vying for SF minutes, and neither can really play another position.

Im not a huge Memo fan, but reading this, I cant help but to defend him. I cant help but wonder, how long have you been watching the Jazz? Memo may not be able to dunk, but it was pretty exciting to watch your starting center drain 3's in a defenders face. When he was healthy, he was very exciting to watch.
I 100% agree. Do you remember how many times Memo was money in the final 3 minutes in the 06-07 season? That was some of the most entertaining basketball I've ever seen. If he and DHarris get the pick and roll down, he'll be just fine.
Yes he has gotten slower, but if he can still shoot he can still contribute.

Memo's natural willingness to get out of Boozer's way offensively was one reason why Boozer was so good in Utah.
Offensively.
While Memo was an OK man-on defender, his lack of ability to be a legit help defender (or at least shot blocker) was also a reason that Boozer was so ineffective on defense.
(In 2009-2010, Williams-Matthews-Brewer-Boozer-Fesenko was the #2 most effective 5-man combination put on the court--further supporting the notion that huge 3-point shooting threat (not to mention a 6'11" 3-point shooting threat) wasn't necessary, and that a halfway ominous defensive threat in the middle was often all that was necessary to make the team better.)

(BTW, *Williams-Matthews-Kirilenko-Millsap-Okur was the #1 most effective.
*Williams-Matthews-Miles-Boozer-Okur came in as a still-respectable #4, but at a significantly lower rate.)
But far from an eight-figure value.

Wasn't that effectively the argument that Boozer implicitly duped us with for years?
Yes, and we did better with Boozer and Okur than we did with Jefferson and Millsap.

Kanter and the fact he looks at least a couple of seasons away (Hopefully anyways) , a healthy Memo is so important for the Jazz. He is a big time shooter and the fact that if he played for years next to anybody but Boozer his defensive short comings would not have been so noticable.

6 reasons why Memo WON'T impact the Jazz!
1) He can't shoot.
2) He can't jump.
3) He can't defend.
4) He always get's hurt.
5) Skip 5.
6) He's an old man playing a young man's game.

That is the case partly because of a lot of variables--having Deron, a younger AK, Matthews, etc. Jefferson and Millsap had a new coach (equally ineffective at optimizing rotations), no Deron (for most of the year), a rookie SG/SF in Elder Hayward, and an aging Bell & AK.
Also, Big Al is 4 years younger than Boozer--and he started deciding to play defense more often sometime during last year. I'd say that Jefferson's upside is equal to or higher than Boozer's because AJ is a bit taller and potentially a better defender. Not as good a shooter/scorer yet.
In both scenarios, the Jazz would have done better if they had put a true center alongside any four of those guys more often. Given the bottleneck at the 4 spot (and the talent level of each of these PFs individually), it wouldn't have made sense to not play these pairs together at all, but an extra 10 MPG with someone who could actually control the key would've translated into more wins both last year and in the Boozakur era. Too often the paint was an Achilles' heel (er, elbow), causing the wings to be obliged--or instructed--to sag in, indirectly making the 3 point circle that much more vulnerable to opposing treys.
With a 4/5 rotation of Kanter, Favors, Jefferson, maybe Millsap, and an occasional Okur, perhaps Ty Corbin can find a combo that can actually score offensively and control the frontcourt defensively.
