Jefferon for Bogut?

[orangello]

Isn't Bogut out the rest of the year?

Yes, that is why it makes sense to me to make the trade. Ask yourself what is the purpose in trading Big Al?

Really? What happened to him this time?

Really? What happened to him this time?

Again not his fault and a serious injury.
"Andrew Bogut is out for the rest of the NBA season with an left ankle injury. ( fractured foot)"

And since I didn't realize so many people didn't know about this years injury here is the one from 2yrs ago. Stupid Amare.

I'm a Utes fan, so my homerism says yes. But as others have said, the guy can't stay healthy. Plus, Kanter is our center of the future. I'd prefer to trade Big Al to someone like Atlanta that needs a big but has depth at PG and SF.

This.

he is probably only one qualified 7-footer who might have want to play in SLC, but i say NO to this trade in favor todevelope young

I love Bogut, but the injuries are a real problem. Beyond that, the Jazz need to be trading a big AWAY, not swapping. The Jazz's future can't get off the bench for any meaningful minutes because of that.

The Jazz need to get smaller. I agree with that. IF you can get Bogut (injury prone) for Jefferson (ball hog, no defense/athleticism) then you do it. You swap broken goods for broken goods. Bogut has a much higher potential for good. It's worth the risk. The money is spent either way. What this does is gives you a risk for a higher ceiling, opens up playing time for the rest of this year, allows Millsap to be "the man" and raise his stock. Now you can trade two first round picks and Millsap for an all-star level small forward. It's a no brainer.

Bogut has an extra year on his contract though. Not worth it.

I still think this would be a good trade!
