Yet our best win so far is without him at all. I don't think losing him fixes our offense. But it does not hurt it all that much either. I would rather have Kanter and Favors learning to play that low post spot than continueing with a guy that does not seem to get than he must pass to succeed.

The Thriller - you're my guy... but you're way off. This team absolutely needs Al Jefferson. While we're bubbling with loads of potential, Al is easily the one player on this team that we could turn to for a bucket. Do I see him as a long term fixture in our organization? Not quite sure yet.
I was never a big Boozer fan to begin with, but the thing that absolutely turned me into a Boozer hater (and maniacal poster who repeatedly called for him to be traded circa 2008) was how non-existent he was in the playoffs against the Lakers. I'm willing to give Al and this Jazz team some time to figure out a chemistry and find a comfort zone. If he continually disappears against good teams in relatively big games then I may agree with you. But for now, I'm willing to take the games where the ball sticks to his hands and he shoots a low percentage because those games are few and far between the ones where he's close to dominant in the paint.

I'm as high on Kanter as anyone, but he's just not ready for big minutes. Ty is using him PERFECTLY as it is. Al is great to have around until Kanter is ready for starter's minutes (which could be a year from now, or two or three).
This should go without saying, but this is a great problem to have. I just thank god this isn't about Elston, Ameachi, Handlogton, or whatever scrub big man we've brought in to clog up the middle taking PT from Kanter.
