Every western contender got bigger and longer in order to compete with the Lakers, except Utah. We got smaller.

+ Jefferson
- Boozer
- Koufus
- Fesenko
- Okur (for half the season)

Even if Al Jefferson has a great season and makes the All-Star team, does anyone really see us being able to advance any further in the playoffs? I'm not sure I see us getting passed LAL, OKC, or DAL in a 7 game series.

We added 2 wings (Bell & Hayward) and subtracted 2 (Matthews & Korver) practically a wash atleast as far as 2010-11, but getting bigger went completely unaddressed. a month away from training camp I hope KOC can pull something off bigger than Francisco Elson or Etan Thomas.

Okur isn't gonna be out close to half of season. Most recent reports imply he'll either be back early in the season or at the end of training camp.
 
I'm guessing you started the thread simply to use those cool team icons thingy. Because I do not see the point.

Yeah, I was gonna say...Boozer's replacement is bigger than Booze was. Fes will be back. Memo won't be out half the season. Koufus sucked.
 
I'm still not sure why the Jazz traded Koufos. I still think there's a player there, but even if he's not, he would've been a 7 foot body with some competence playing for a team that doesn't have one.

To simply put, saving about $3M.

He only makes about $1.3mil this season, which isn't THAT much more than the league minimum. If the Jazz prefer Fess and Evans, however, and only want to carry 13 this season, the savings are worthwhile (I guess).
 
Maybe you should adjust the expectations/title of the thread, the Jazz haven't gotten a center but they are taller. AJ is taller then Booz, Hayward is taller the KK, Bell and Mathews is a wash so just by your title they did get taller, also if Memo is out that could mean Fess (he will be back just a matter of time) will see playing time and its not a new addition but makes the team taller.
Also Ratliff will play about as much as Mnbenga and I don't think he is any taller the Mnbenga.

But I guess this is more about did the Jazz improve enough at the 4/5 spot to improve in the playoffs, going off your posts and not the title.
