Why we need to Trade Jefferson through February 6th (Stats)

[DutchJazzer]

The problem with trading Jefferson is has a skill that no one else on the team has shown- the ability to get a decent shot against anyone in the league.

Jefferson isn't perfect but in crunch time Millsap struggles with certain matchups.

Harris has no confidence. Hayward struggles to finish at the rim.

Our next best offensive creator is CJ Miles.

I believe trading Jefferson might be the right move for our future. But trading him would probably screw our present.

I ndont care about offense.


DEFENSE> wins games. his defense sorely lacks

 

[DutchJazzer]

Moving AJ turns Utah's one strength into a weakness. Namely, the depth up front. Something significant has to come back to make up for that, it's the main reason the Jazz have won games.

The team doesn't improve by banishing players, no matter how much some fans relish hating on them.

Edit: I won't bother but surely it would not be difficult to look up the crappy stats of any of our guards or wings and make the exact same case only stronger. Jefferson and Millsap are carrying this team, the problem is G play.

jefferson takes way too many possesions compared to the guards

Maybe it's time to think about mixing and matching the 4 bigs more, matching a vet for scoring with a youth for energy?

The sky is falling!!!!!!!

The goal is to win the championship.

We are not contenders now(obviously) and it really doesn't matter if we win another game all year.

Trade Al.

None of our bigs are "the problem."

We need some shooters and a starting pg. Those are the issues.

Jefferson, Millsap, Kanter, and Favors have been pluses.

Our SFs, SGs, and everyone other than Earl and Tinsley @ point, have been inconsistent.

We have the worst starting backcourt in the NBA. If something has to be done to improve this team, it definitely needs to improve the backcourt. Oh, by the way, there is no way in hell the Jazz will trade Jefferson this year.

If we trade Jefferson we won't win another game this season.

This thread comes down to who understand basketball and who doesn't

Those who understand basketball know that Jefferson does not contribute much to wins. For every basket he scores (at low efficiency), he's giving it up on the other end with his terrible defense.

That's odd, we didn't have a problem beating the 76ers without Jefferson.

 

[Favors Flave]

Jefferson and Hayward for Hibbert and George? Is that fair for both sides?

Hell, I would trade Jefferson for Collison without hesitation.

This makes sense if you don't watch the team. But nobody else knows basketball, right? It's good to know that Jefferson's points don't actually count (at a low efficiency) and we should strike them from the record.

This thread comes down to those who have eyeballs and those who have a mental deficiency. The Jazz demand that Jefferson score ever possession. The offense depends on him. He takes these possessions because they're giving it to him. Watch a game.
