I'm in. Get rid of black hole/sloth. He also screwed us out of the Clipper game with bad decisions.
Wait.... Wait..... Let's see those such as Craig that defend Al explain this once since it is what happens every game. This time is just happened at the end of the game. You going to highlight his 4 assists? 1 of those 4 was a good pass. The other three he gave it up with under 4 on the clock and got bailed out.

we could get in a 3 way deal with orland(not interseted in dwight howard since he is demanding a trade)
but throwing Jefferson in the mix in a 3 way.
i mean people are disillusioned bout him and only see stats so he might have trade value

I'm probably not saying much that hasn't already been mentioned, so I'll just throw in my additional two cents.
Even if Big Al had a solid performance tonight as opposed to that hot mess he produced, I'd still be advocating for trading him. It's more strategic than game-to-game performance. This is an exciting yet tremendously lopsided roster - you have four frontcourt guys who could start for over half the teams in the league, and a starting PG who is in the bottom 15% of starting PGs league wide.
You move the oldest bigman - which also happens to be the one with the best offensive numbers and looks to be the most impressive on paper. The kind of guy who can take an established team to the next level, yet who hinders the growth of a team like Utah.

people again with the aj-hatin'.
for all his limitations he is clearly the best offensive option we have on the team. as pointed out elsewhere, our terrible 3-point shooting means he is constantly double-teamed and often enough he still finds a way to score.
he may not be a guy who can single-handedly deliver us a championship but why is everyone convinced he is the main problem with our team? his defense? (never mind the fact that over the past week our guards have been lit up by not only the likes of kobe, paul and tyreke evans, but also curry/ellis, roddy beaubois and the inestimable jeremy lin.)
puh-lease

Please PLEASE show me anything outside of PPG that proves what you are stating. I'll wait for your response.
don't know if you guys are just hung up on today's game (which i haven't watched yet) or having a hard time with al overall. reeally though it doesn't sound like i'm going to be able to show you anything to convince you (do i really need to convince you about our guard play/shooting?)
if you're stuck on my original comment, i can only really see an argument for millsap *maybe* as our alternative #1 scoring option. i love sap. no doubt he has improved again this year and gives 100% on the floor every night but he still is a scrapper foremost and like anyone when his jumpshot isn't falling he starts looking quite limited offensively.
or perhaps i've got it all wrong. please tell me who the jazz's best offensive option is. I'LL wait.

And that's the best you have?
Go back and look at the rest of this thread
Jefferson is our 2nd worst per possession scorer on this team
He doesn't play defense and defense leads to offense
He is stunting the growth of the young guys by taking PT which actually statistically hurts the team anyways
The offense doesn't do anything when he is in ala black hole
Kanter and Favors have shown in limited spurts they can play down low offensively and at better EFG numbers
Jeffy gets to the line less than any other big we have
Want me to continue?
Again, this thread isn't about our wing play...Its about Jeffy and what he doesn't bring to the table. Yet, he is perceived to be our best option offensively.
