Ellipse replied to a thread Big Al moved out in Utah Jazz

Ellipse replied to a poll What is the Current Consensus on if we'll Re-sign Big Al? in Utah Jazz

The poll isn't sufficiently defined. I think the Jazz will try to re-sign Jefferson, but only if he takes a pay cut. I also think that Al will get...

Ellipse replied to a thread Positions of need. in Utah Jazz

Ellipse replied to a thread Utah Jazz 2012/13 season. Civil War edition (part 1: Ty Corbin) in Utah Jazz
