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

Memphis' pick + TPE...I wonder if that would be enough to entice Minny to give him up? I'd rather not give up that pick, but finding a player as good as Jefferson in the mid-first round range is highly unlikely.

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?

He's not a particularly good defender - no better than Boozer, certainly. But that's individual defensive skill - the fact is he would still make us a better defensive team than we are right NOW, because Millsap - being a quite undersized PF (he's definitely not his listed height) - simply can't guard a lot of guys. He has better defensive skills than Jefferson, but severe limitations in who he can actually guard. Jefferson, at least, can put a body on somebody and rebound. And frankly, there's the possibility that Sloan and Johnson can get more D out of him than the Minnesota and Boston coaching staffs could. We'll see.

Yeah, I agree. The Memphis pick is protected anyway. The $13M TPE and a first-round pick is worth it for Jefferson.

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.

A real member?? what do I have to do for that? Profess my love for a 7 foot white guy named Fes? Stroke your ego? let me know. I'm dying to become a real member.
 
This is a chance that Utah has to take if the price is right. Don't want to give up the farm for him but the TPE and the Memphis or our 1st round pick would be fair. In Sloan's offense this guy could be every bit as good as Boozer was.
