Just so I have something to measure it against, what is the NBA average?

Give us a PG and we'd have ourselves a starting lineup! (Actually, I wouldn't support that big starting lineup.)

Not sure what average is. Of 138 players that have enough FGAs to qualify for league leaders, Jefferson would rank 111. Worst? Ronnie Brewer at 0.95. The median for those 138 eligible players would be at about 1.21.

Kyle Lowry 1.38. That team would be efficient in creating points!

Trade Millsap for AK: 1.42 ppg.

Trade Millsap for AK: 1.42 ppg.

Jerry said AK just didn't fit in to what we were doing.

Too much jackpotting around.

The fact that our backups are leading the team while playing less than 25 min is baffling. Even more baffling is that no one on the Jazz is above 1.31.

Pathetic indeed!

Trade Marvin for AK, as I'd have done before the season. But, I think I've mentioned that before.

[The_Douger]

We should have never let AK leave. Sure he was overpaid while he was here, but Sloan misused him the whole time and wouldn't run anything for him. Then he comes back to another team and is awesome, just like he always was. Sloan was an idiot with how he used AK. Corbin would be as well, so there's no reason to bring him back.

So should the Jazz have never let him go, or is there no reason to have him in SLC? You confused yourself.

[BGRTHNUMEGO]

New rumor out about Al:

Spurs receive Al

Jazz receive Splitter, Patty Mills, rights to Ezram Lorbek, and Stephen Jackson

Mills has a player option next year. Jackson and Splitter have expiring deals. That deal would have Utah taking back slightly more salary for this season, so I wonder if Utah would be sending back Tinsley or Watson...or maybe Raja.

[MarkGrace]

No idea what purpose that serves. Only remotely interesting piece is Splitter, but he doesn't help the logjam. The move preserves cap space for next year, but you can let Jefferson walk and do that.
