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

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.....

Jerry would start Jefferson/Fess for the short term i'm sure, but give Millsap more minutes ala the 2010 playoffs.

Great question, Im sure he will start at the 5 for the start of the year, but once Memo gets healthy what happens? Jeff should probably start over Sap, but I feel bad for the guy, we all know he wants his chance to be the guy down low.

Can we even afford Fesenko? We don't even have cap space now..........We are kind of screwed now. lol

P.S. I like the trade. Just not sure what we have left over now. besides the Mid-Level exception. Which is probably enough.

Matt Barnes is who I want. But only for about 3 Million per year.

Jefferson is solid 6-10 with 7-3 wingspan, great athleticism, and has career averages in blocks of about double that of Memo. I would say we start Jefferson and Millsap, and have Okur come off the bench to fill Millsap's old role. Especially since he is coming off serious injury. All of the sudden we have starting 5 of DWill, CJ, AK, Millsap, and Jefferson. This has to be one of the best starting line-ups in the West.
 
AK, Millsap and Al Jefferson is a decent front court. I'd say it's on par with the Hawks' rotation--versatile, pretty mobile, and can score.

The Jazz are sorely going to need AJ's rebounding.

I'd use Okur as a back-up PF/C. It's more natural for him and controls his minutes.
 
I like this move, just confused as to why we're suddenly willing to go over the luxury tax for Al Jefferson, who's a good big but not someone who suddenly would allow us to compete with the Lakers.

It allows us to compete with them more than Boozer did, or at least equal. Now we just pray for Memo's health and Fess or Koufus to improve.
 
Jefferson will put us in the luxury tax unless we are trading away a player, i wonder who we are offering

This might be the most athletic front court in the history of the team.
