Minnesota is shopping him...this guy is for real when hes actually playing. Do you think he would take care of our "true center" need or is he too injury prone to take the risk?

No, heres 3 reasons why:
- He has 3 years and 42 million left on his contract
- I don't consider him a true center, more of a PF. He is only 6'10.
- He is injury prone/ a complete loser. He whines about everything, is lazy and gets "injured" atleast 2 times a year.

Pass for me! Al is a power forward and prefers it to stay that way.

Keep in mind that Jefferson and Horford aren't much different in size.

I had brought a trade proposal prior to the draft, but truthfully I feel that Jefferson is a horrible fit for us. He is skilled offensively and compensated well for it. He doesn't help immensely on the defensive end and doesn't like playing C at all. Other players fit better with our current front line personnel.

There are other teams that would benefit greatly from Al Jefferson, so it leads me to believe there are concerns about health and attitude or that Minnesota is asking for a lot in return.

no..... Jefferson is a good risk for a bad team, but his basketball IQ, lack of chemistry, and contract could take a good team back a step.
