Turkish Tweets Need Translating (Al Jefferson - Joakim Noah)

I don't believe for a second that this rumor has any legitimacy.

But if it did, after doing a little bit of research, I'd jump at it. I think describing Noah as a 10/10 player just completely under-describes Noah's value to a team (for example, consistently very high WP 48 ratings, among all kinds of on-the-court intangibles).

The contract is not anything more than the Jazz might be tempted to re-sign Jefferson at (11+, 11+, 12+, 13+). My only worry is injuries (AK 2.0?), though he did play most games last season.

Exactly.

Just look at the wins the Bulls have been putting up. Noah is only 10/10. So how do they win so much?. It isn't all Rose, and it sure isn't Boozer, Korver, or Brewer. They still win without Rose too. I think that has a lot to do with Noah. I love the way he plays. I'd make the trade. It makes great sense basketball wise. The only hang up is the contract and how it plays into signing our guys down the road
 
This makes a lot of sense basketball wise for the Jazz and business wise for the Bulls, but not the other way around. If this trade happened, it would be fun reading all of the "we need to dump Noah's contract" posts in a couple of years. I am in favor of trading Jefferson, but not if it means tying up a large chunk of salary in Noah. I'd much rather get a TPE or a short contract for him. Favors and Hayward will be up for new contracts soon and the Jazz don't need Noah eating up a lot of salary.
 
How does this make basketball sense? Are you saying Noah is a better player than AJ? It makes no sense at all both financially or basketball wise.
 
If this trade keeps us from signing the young four to extensions then no. If it causes us to sign them but loose Millsap I say yes.
 
Count me in the "seems very unlikely, but I'd do it" crowd.
