Do you still want to see Big Al shipped?

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Mmmmm.....I think I'd rather trade out Al, play the young players, and get a difference-maker like Anthony Bennett in the lottery this year.

There are two questions here from my perspective: a) Not if, but when should we trade Al? b) How are we going to get another potential All Star on this team?

I like trading Al, giving Kanter and Favors more minutes, taking losses and getting one of the elite bigs or the top PG in the upcoming draft.

Sap will probably cost more but who knows maybe Big Al's stock is rising.

I see advanatages, and disadvantages to both. We really won't know how it plays out until one is gone.
I say we just base it on whoever is cheaper, and go forward

Agreed..... we keep whoever is cheaper, or whoever fetches less return in a trade.

Didn't expect to see this thread until March.

BN Backseat GM would try to trade Sap for Calderon or Sessions and extend Al as cheap and frontloaded as possible with the mutual understanding that he is not guaranteed to start.

I think everyone in the league, outside of Jazzfanz, thinks Al is more valuable than Millsap.

We need to find a team that's desperate to compete and make their star player happy. That's the kind of team we'd trade Al Jefferson to. Kind of like Portland sending Gerald Wallace to Brooklyn for the lotto pick that became Damian Lillard.

Find a team in the lottery who has a big-name player about to become a free agent who might leave if that team doesn't improve--Dallas, Lakers, etc.

Also find a team that could lose a big-name free agent--Philadelphia (Bynum), Atlanta (Josh Smith), etc.

Or, send Al Jefferson to Toronto for a bad contract (Bargnani) and their lottery pick this year. I'd trade Al Jefferson and the GSW pick for Calderon and a Toronto's lotto pick.

Maybe we do a 3-way trade that sends Al to Boston, sends Rondo somewhere, and gives the Jazz a lotto pick and a player from that third team.

jazzfanz are in the league?

If you mean fans, that's almost definitely not true. Past threads on realgm come out easily in favor of Millsap fwiw.

Jefferson's our best player by a mile. How anyone wouldn't want to retain him is beyond me.

He plays one end of the court and is going to get a big contract. I would still argue that Favors is better. He plays one end of the court and is at least respectable on the other end.

Dantley and Green are our best players by a mile. How anyone wouldn't want to retain is beyond me.

Fixed.
