Keeping fingers crossed. As I said days ago, TPE+first rounder. Yes, we will be in luxury tax by about 3 mil, but man if someone is worth it, it is 25 year old 6-10 athletic center, who is putting up 20 and 10 plus can block some shots.

Damn, I dont know how this will workout, but at least it gives the fans and franchise something to be excited about.
Incoming: Brewer, Jefferson, and Brewer
Outgoing: Korver,Matthews, and Boozer
I got to say, I think we have improved.

If this would happen is it the biggest trade the Jazz have EVER made?

This guy looks like he could slide right into where we left off with Boozer and we might hardly notice the difference. He has a lower FG% (I blame this on Minnesota's lack of an organized system; his FGs were off of an assist only about 66% as often as Boozer's in 09-10) and a lower assist rate. However, he is a better shot blocker, gets his own shot blocked about half as often as Booz did (again, 09-10 stats), and is about as turnover prone as Booz in a "system" where he would be much more prone to have his pocket picked.
My question is, if we land him, what does that mean for Matthews or the hole that might potentially exist there?

Even if we don't have money for Brewer after this. Just get Al in here. AK/CJ/Hayward will cover the rotation. Evans or some other prospect (like Wes was last year) could be 12th man.
Hornacek would probably still be bigger, but this one is right there with it.

Quick question: If we acquire Jefferson does he start at the 4 or the 5? I'd start him at the 5 and keep looking for a cheap back up for Sap. Millsap needs to get his chance to start IMO.....

Yeah, Hornacek is the biggest player trade - has to get the benefit of the doubt because we've seen the results. But the draft-day trade to move up and grab D-Will is right there, too. Certainly bigger than the (potential) Jefferson deal.

I was thinking about this too. I think he definitely starts at the 5 until Okur can come back. Even after that, I wonder if Okur will be able to start anymore. Seems like he will (should) be assigned to that "backup veteran" position sooner or later.
