i know but the timing and all.... and i second vslice's opinion on having brown as sg. he is more of a shooter/scorer than a pg and i think he bring the intensity matthews brings to the court

Ya, noobs suck. Personally, I think they should ban everyone with less than 1000 posts....or zero rep power.
My thoughts exactly, he is basically a bigger version of Price with a bit better shot. I would like him, but I wouldnt break the bank to get him.
I agree they probably weren't going to use every single asset, but if they used them in a different order, they could have used more of them. If I was KOC, that would have been my plan unless there was an offer I just couldn't pass up. For example, using the MLE and Harp's TPE ends up at about $12M, or roughly what they will pay Jefferson. The difference is the Boozer TPE retains value until next offseason (when AK's off the books), but the other TPEs and the MLE don't. So they could have added two role players with the MLE and Harp TPE, then still grabbed a bigger contract next year. This way I don't know if they do that, because they're already about $2M over the LT with 9 players on the roster.
I said all along that they should use the Boozer TPE this season only if it was a pretty sure thing. Maybe they think this is. I'm coming around on it. I've always though Jefferson was a little overrated, but I'd lost track of the fact that he's still only 25 and the additional size should help. He's a less complete offensive player, but if that keeps him closer to the basket (instead of shooting fadeaways), that's not entirely bad. Give me another day or two and I'm sure I'll be ordering my Big Al Jazz jersey.
Kenwood - I like your analysis of the AL Jefferson pick-up on your blog - keep up the good work.
I was pretty skeptical about the Jazz going after another power forward when we have Millsap and some concerns at center, sf and sg. From what everyone is saying, AL can play some center until Okur comes back so that gives me hope. Otherwise, I like his ability to have a mean streak and the thought of a Jefferson/Millsap/AK back court causing trouble on defense. Hopefully Jefferson thrives in a winning organization.

Yeah, 3 million over the tax with 9 players is a concern.
11-12 is a concern salary wise, though not nearly as bad as Matthews + Boozer would be.
I wonder if Memo is indeed the odd man out and may get traded. I don't know if the Jazz are THAT willing to go into the tax again.
