And let's say we can't keep him for cheap? Do we pay big money for a backup big? Or let him walk for nothing?

Hence, why we need to trade him asap while we still can.

Agreed

How have they done this year since big al has been hurt?

They are actually 5-2 this year since big al got hurt :^O

What really hurt the team this year was adding a great defender like lance Stephenson to the team though

Jefferson was and is by far thier best player and carried that wretched team to the playoffs.
How did they do before big al got there? How have they done this year since big al has been hurt?

*sigh*

Look dude, Al Jefferson is their best player... on offense. Charlotte had the 24th ranked offense last year. Do they make the playoffs without Al Jefferson? Probably not. Did Al Jefferson carry or drag that team into the playoffs? No - their 6th ranked defense did. Al Jefferson, while better on that end, was not the reason they were elite defensively.

If you're going to argue this, I wish you'd actually address what I'm saying.

Fish agrees with this answer by Fish to Fish's question

 

[aaquaa]

Just wondering: you diagnosed the cancer and delegated Enes to the bench, but what makes you guys think Kanter will accept being the 3rd big off the bench for the Jazz? Doesn't it make sense that given the chance, he should at least choose to hold the same position in a bigger market team?

It was brought up that jefferson, david lee, and boozer don't win basketball games.
My original point was that charlotte didn't do dick before that loser named al Jefferson showed up.

I don't disagree. I was just disputing the idea that Al Jefferson "dragged" or "carried" that team to the playoffs.

Ya, definitely hyperbole on my part. I apologize

 

[MTS]

No worries

Watching the game right now and wondering why Favors sat on the bench so much. Maybe Snyder knew we were not going to win this one and wanted to give him rest. This team needs to run more plays for him and he needs to get the most minutes of our big men.
Unless we are trying to tank this season he needs to be a big part of our offense. He is a good mid range jump shooter and a great around the rim.

Other than that last half of the Rockets game I was pretty pleased with that little 3 game trip. Even up until then the Jazz were in every game.

I am sorry Enes haters but if Jazz extended Burks, there is no way they will get rid of Kanter. Burks is inconsistent shooter, black hole on offense and mediocre on defense yet somehow he gets pass on this board because of his cute Houdini layups.
