Al Jefferson. Once SAS finishes sweeping the Jazz tonight, they'll be out.
A FRP and the trade exception might even be enough. Maybe 2 firsts.
I am OK with that move.
I'd be really interested in seeing how Big Al's defense improves playing alongside KG. KG's been able to cover for Bass' defensive weaknesses for much of the season. He'd add a whole other element to our offense. We're a grind-it-out team, it would be great to have a real low-post threat instead of being so jump-shot focused. And, the rebounding woes would be addressed.
Really, it just comes down to whether Big Al's defense would be acceptable.
Only one year left on his contract, right? There isn't really anyone in free agency to spend our cap space on. Take a one-year flyer on Big Al, re-sign KG, let Bass walk. I'd do it.
