Jefferson gets such an undeserved bad rep on this site.

He is the main one working with Favors and Kanter on their post games.

Without him, their development would be nowhere near where it is right now.

Cool, maybe in return they can teach the 7 year vet about the secret art of defense, since BOTH are better at this very moment than he is at is. You're aware of both sides of the court, I assume?
 
I was hoping Utah could move Al by the deadline, but I agree with those who say Al takes way too much blame on this board.

The main reason Utah won this game was because Kobe couldn't hit his *** with a flyswatter.

Bynum went 12-14, while Gasol went 8-12.

In total agreement. Seems like favors and kanter are little jefferson clones in the post. Even Milsap didn't use the tippy toe pump fake until Jefferson got here.

That said, trade the fool for as MUCH AS YOU CAN GET THIS OFFSEASON!

Trade him and then what? Jeff Hornacek or Scott Layden starts banging with Favors and Kanter every day? Who works with them on developing their post games if Jefferson is gone?

I think a lot of people on this site forgot about the Jazz's terrible track record developing big guys. Malone was a beast (and his work ethic will never be matched). Outside of him, it's been one disappointment after another.

Now we have Jefferson staying after practice and working with Favors and Kanter 1 on 1. This is one of the best post players in the NBA, taking these guys under his wing.

And the results are plain as day for all to see. Both Kanter and Favors are doing some of the same moves as Jefferson in the post.

I say let these guys get as much practice time with Jefferson as possible. And Burks getting practice time against Bell isn't exactly a bad thing either.

Now if you're beef is how Corbin is using these guys, that's another matter. But Jefferson has been the "big man coach" the Jazz need for these guys.

Great points. He should get props for helping them. He has told them straight up that they are the future of this team.

Yeah, you might be onto something... I guess it depends on what you value more, practice or in game experience. Me personally, I would like to see the young guys play next season, but I can respect your perspective too.
 
I don't. I don't miss Jefferson.

I like him a lot as a person, and I really hope he finds a team that he fits into-- but it's not ours.

We can get some good pieces for Jefferson. We should get them.

Boozer, Okur, and Millsap aren't successful big men groomed by Utah?
