Al Jeff Highlights vs Lakers

[franklin]

It's not going to turn out better than we all hope if when in 33 months, the front office doesn't re-sign him because he wants the max and they don't have that type of coin after focusing on Deron, and dare I say it, Hayward and Millsap. Just saying.

Homie say wha? You got whispering ghosts visiting you at night or something? His contract is only 3 years. Jazz aren't going to dump him that soon for Millsap and Hayward unless something drastic happens. Sap ain't an all star. Sap ain't gonna be. It's a pretty easy GM decision choosing between the two.

What? Al Jefferson took less money when Minny offered him the Max because he said he didn't deserve it.

He's never bee a player who obsesses over money.

That doesn't mean he wouldn't do it the next time around. Or that Deron wouldn't bolt for L.A.

That doesn't mean he wouldn't do it the next time around.

Regardless, AK's monstrous contract won't be weighing us down so much, and Okur's contract will be off the books. Paying Al the max, assuming he performs to justify it, is not something I'd complain about.

thanks for posting the video. The difference between boozer and AJ versus LA is enormously in AJ's favor. He draws fouls, gets near the rim, and doesn't look like a scared little kid out there.

Purch, where's the hayward video? I need to see that baseline "dream shake"/up and under he did.

Imagine if he can continue to play his way in to shape (since it was noted he came in to camp in mediocre shape) even more, lose some L-B's, gain a tiny bit of quickness, etc. I'd love for him to have a strong year, get excited and want to build on it and therefore stay in SLC next summer to work out with the guys, and come into next season like a monster. I'm getting ahead of myself of course.

There's nothing like winning to motivate a player. Jazz are going to win 3x as many games in one season as Jefferson has become accustomed to. I think he'll have a great season, but Deron (and Sloan) will keep him grounded. He'll realize he can keep adding to his game. If he strikes up a friendship with Millsap and they work out together in the off-season, watch out.; Paul will really push him hard.
