Al trade

I listened to locke for a few this afternoon. I caught the segment where he was going off about Jefferson. I know how most of you feel about locke but he had a great point. Jefferson is not an efficient player. Just because he's a 20/10 guy does not mean he should start. I think that instead of trading him Corbin should just bring him off the bench. That may solve a lot of issues we have with no ball movement and pick and roll defense.

It's a salary dumping deal that yields an asset. I think trading Jefferson for anyone with a contract longer than his would be a huge mistake.

Depends on the contract. If Jazz can get a younger version of Gerald Wallace or something like that then they fill a necessity without having to wait a few years following the draft. This team can grow up in a hurry IF everything plays out perfectly. Favors and Kanter look like they're going to, and Burks is really surprising to this point.

Not really. Utah could trade for a contract/s that expires at the same time, or sooner. Not only that, but they have no salary committed after 2012-13(4 team options in 13-14), so even if they traded for a longer contract(doubtful), they'd still be able to easily sign those guys.

Not to mention they're going to be getting a lot more in revenue sharing over the next couple of years. They built up the armory under Larry. Let's hope they do the same again rather than using the new CBA to increase Greg's salary. That extra money will come in handy if they have to max out two of these four, retain Millsap, pick up a top draft guard or two, and match the market on the other two young players.
 
Dwight Howard isn't coming to Utah but I think Al's post game (albeit lack passing out of double teams) is a nice fit for Orlando.
Having said & considering Orlando still wants veterans (not just cap & picks), I can see KOC sticking his nose in any 3-team trade.

Next year's trade deadline this thread will make more sense.

Nutshelled.

I don't know how long it's going to take to install more than 10% of the offense but until they do Jefferson is going to have to be depended upon heavily in order to generate points. Unless you're a season tanker (obviously I'm not) moving him now would be a bad idea barring some kind of GM rape scenario.

If you give the ball to him every possession of course he is depended to generate points. If Jazz would be playing all the offensive plays through me, even i would average at least 10 ppg.

I see. So you would prefer Corbin focuses on Offense and then later on maybe work on getting the D together.

He should first decide whom he will build the team around and if he has Harris and Big Al on future plans, once he decides where this team is going and make everyones roles more clear (more playing time for Burks, Hayward, Favors and Kanter) , then both our offense and defense will be more system based instead of depending on the individual skills

Did he get these from the same stats when he said that Jefferson would put up way better numbers than Boozers best season? Did he get these from the same stats when he said Jefferson was going to be an all-star? Locke said stats should Jefferson would be a perfect fit and would put up monster numbers so...

I think those were also the same stats where we thought Deron Williams was going to be a leader of the Jazz, and not a corporate sellout.
 
i'm surprised to hear that locke ever said anything negative about a jazz player. when he's not busy selling mini ticket packages, he's talking about what a genius tyrone corbin and how uncommonly talented every jazz player is.

that said, i do think this comes down to the fact that for favors to realize his potential, the jazz need to declare a direction sooner rather than later: favors & millsap or jefferson & favors. as much as it pains me to say it, i agree with locke; i don't think al makes the jazz a contender. paul probably doesn't either, but his games complements derrick's a little better, and he does several things well that al doesn't.
