First of all, I want to give props for the Jefferson trade. KOC, you are smarter than we thought, thanks for finally making that big move. Greg Miller, thanks for taking the risk of adding Jefferson and going into the LT so that we can be a better team. Carlos Boozer, thank you for ending your tenure here by giving the Jazz something to build on, that was classy.
But this offseason isn't over yet. Yes, we just got a lot better, but we need a little more to become a contending team. Signing some of the better FA that are left will help the Jazz to take that next step. I understand that we are in the LT right now, but using that MLE could help us so much more.
We need a combination of two of the following three players to become contenders: Shannon Brown, Ronnie Brewer, and/or Al Harrington. If they cost too much then fine, but if we can get 2/3 using the MLE then we need to. Al Harrington would effectively be our Lamar Odom, and could split minutes with AK at the 3. Shannon Brown is an elite athlete that would come in and be a lock-down defender off the bench and can hit the occasional outside shot. And Ronnie Brewer is a slasher, who we know already fits in well with this team.
My plea to the FO: Make a few more moves to become an elite team, because you've now set yourself up beautifully.
