Did you watch the draft and the subsequent trades?

Even assuming Jefferson is gone, you just traded for Beasely also. Love is a PF, obviously Kahn has a man-crush on Darko, who appears to be your starter at C. With Pekovic needing minutes as well. So someone is getting shafted on minutes in the frontcourt, unless Kahn/Rambis think Beasely is a SF, which still doesn't make sense cuz you just got Wesley Johnson and traded for Martell Webster. And Brewer is still on the roster as well.

So you have a gaping hole at SG, a cluster**** of a frontcourt, and supposedly Kahn is also trying to sign Luke Ridnour. Another PG is just what the team needs, right?

I'll say it for the 545th time on ISH, Rambis is the one pushing for Darko, not Kahn. Beasley is a 3/4 tweener and will probably get 30 MPG. Webster > Babbit. Pekovic won't see heavy minutes thats true. The Lazar pick didn't make much sense. Johnson will split time at the 2/3. Webster will play the 2/3. Brewer will go to the bench where he belongs.

Solid pickup for the Jazz. Less expensive.

Sounds good for the Jazz. The question is now... is it real?

Stein is reputable, so this is almost certainly close to being done. We just have to wait until more info comes out.

If Utah can get this deal done, and re-sign Ronnie Brewer, it'll be crisis averted. They're in trouble right now.

Wow, if the Jazz get Jefferson I'm sure Millsap will be like "When will I catch a break to start?" It just feels like Millsap is going to waste first being behind Boozer and Okur all the time and now potentially he'll be stuck behind Okur and Jefferson.

It's done.

David Aldridge's Twitter: RT @GregInUtah: I just approved a Jazz roster move that I'm very excited about. Planning to share details tomorrow.
Then: BTW that is Greg Miller, the Jazz's CEO...

I think people are way too excited over Al Jefferson.

I hope it is something like TPE + 1st round pick + rights to Tomic for Jefferson but i doubt Tomic is in the deal.

You mean they're way too excited about a big man with 20/10 potential that shoots 50% from the field?

Who would have guessed?

[TiMavericks21]

It already says on Wikipedia that Al Jefferson plays for the Utah Jazz.

Then again it also says to the right that he is No. 25 on the Dallas Mavericks.

On a side note, this means Love/Beasley will both get big minutes now. 17/12-13/3 isn't totally out of the question for Love now this coming year.
