Considering we have a winning record when hes out I doubt it.

They're a changed team, and yet they're still behind us. As well as they played for that little stretch, we stepped up our game, too, and that is why we're in 7th and they're still behind us, out of the playoffs.

Maybe because Brandon Jennings injury? Pistons were 12-3 without Smith and Jennings healthy. Beat the spurs and mavs on a back to back. Use some perspective kid.

and the Hornets were 12-4 in 2015 before MKG got hurt. We've lost 3 straight without him. #perspective.

Kemba is the best player, but, MKG is by far the most valuable player in terms of wins/losses. Our record with and w/out MKG over the last two years is startling. We won with Jefferson out last year and this year. When MKG is out, we completely fall apart defensively. You take away Kemba and MKG from the lineup (as well as our best rim protector - Biz) and we are basically a bottom 5 team, regardless of Al Jefferson putting up monster numbers.

He's probably third behind Kemba and MKG.

I think Biz is better than Al. Kemba, MKG, Biz, Al, Hendo, Zeller is my top 6 in terms of how good they are. MKG, Kemba, Biz, Zeller, Al, Hendo in terms of how important they are to the team. I am factoring in Al's conditioning. If he was 20 pounds lighter he'd probably be better than Biz, although still less important. That might be true for MKG as well.

I wouldn't miss Al at all if he left.
