    There is zero to suggest there's even a trigger to pull.

    Teams are calling the Jazz to see if those guys are available because of the unexpected Williams trade. Nothing from the Jazz (yet) is out there to indicate that anyone (other than AK47) is on the block.

    I agree, that pick is great, but even more reason to flip it. Yes, they could draft another malone or stockton, but i think that's more of a risk for them. Could turn out to be another Dwill situation. They may be better off trading for an established player who they know better than a rookie, someone who will stick around.

    Can't see any real interest for Al Jefferson. He blocks some shots but I think that's when he sneezes and his arm falls in the direction of the opposing player's shot. He has the mobility of a phone booth. Opposing players weave around him on their way to the basket as if he were a traffic cone. His nickname should be "Olé!"

    When I heard about Deron Williams being traded, my first thought was that Daryl Morey would be after Kyrylo Fesenko.

    The same could be said of the Nets pulling the trigger on Deron Williams. Was it at all apparent yesterday that he was on the block?

    Its not even certain that milsap and Jefferson are available, but do any of you honestly think they want to deal them to the rockets, let alone another western conference team.

    With Jefferson, Millsap, and Favors the Jazz actually have a healthy first option frontcourt this season.

    Fesenko the odd man out? He might only cost a future second round pick.

    At this point, a tall redwood would be nice. Don't tell me this wouldn't look intimidating in Rockets red..... ;)

    Just An Idea

    Al Jefferson

    Now with D-Will gone, im sure he can be had for the right price. What are the odds that he lands with us? Slim to none at best, but i think its worth a shot!

    I doubt they would trade with Houston. From what Woj was saying Morey thought he was in on the Dwill deal but Utah wanted to trade to the East.

    I think people have forgotten that Harris is actually good player. He's not an expiring contract.

    They just upgraded their 3 man rotation at PF and C. Okur has been out all season.

    This trade made them more well rounded.

    I am really hopeing this is what the plan is....but really...Jefferson will require somebody worth a damn and that means Scola atleast would have to go.Which would give PATDUB more PT....IT IS WRITTEN.
