Al Jefferson to Utah? ...Mark Stein's Twitter reports

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Al Jefferson, if we can get him, will be the only player on the Jazz with a low-post game.

You guys are a bunch of losers. This poster is obviously new to the board. Cut some slack.

For the love of God... I'll go to church for 3 months if it's true!

A younger Boozer. Get it done, Greg & KOC.

Give this guy a warning already. I hold Kicky to his word on what he would do if someone else made another Jefferson thread. WARNING, WARNING, WARNING!!!!!!!!

Kicky probably shouldn't be a mod.

This is a new thread based on a new twitter post (and now article) that has new information. It's not the 8th version of the same speculation and it's not cluttering up the boards the way the last threads did.

And Shaggy, seriously? Let's talk when you get your training wheels off and become a real member of the board.

I'd love me some Al to play center. A front court of Al and Milly would be great. IMO, better defensively than Booz and Okur and more athletic

I personally would rather trade AK for Jefferson for the financial reasons. They would probably buy out AK's contract but I would think AK would sign somewhere else. But if we can get Jefferson than we should do it either way. I think Jefferson is a upgrade over Okur on defense. And a better option on offense. We would be improved from last year.

If we used the trade exception for Jefferson than I would not resign Matthews even though I like him a lot. Wouldn't be financially smart.

D-Will - Price - Gaines
Brewer - Hayward
Miles - AK (Lamar Odom role)
Millsap - AK - Evans
Jefferson - Okur - Koufos

Let Fesenko go i guess?

Only reason I would want AK off the bench is because Brewer can't shoot and Okur wouldn't be starting. Need to balance out the floor.

If they're talking Damp or our TPE, it means they want Cap Relief. AK won't work for that. But if we're giving them FULL Cap Relief, we shouldn't have to give back much more.

I would absolutely LOVE to get another undersized center who is known to be a defensive liability. That would rock my socks.

Actually the average starting Center is 6.10 in the NBA. So he is not undersized. He has averaged 8.7 RPG and 1.2 BPG in his career. Take in count that he only averaged about 16 minutes a game for the first 2 years of his career.

I haven't seen Jefferson play enough to have an opinion on his defense...I know he isn't considered a very good defender, but how does he compare to Boozer? Anyone familiar with Jefferson's defensive prowess?

You know I've totally been joking in this thread, right? With that being said, WARNING, WARNING, WARNING, INFRACTION!!!!!!
