One nice thing about Jefferson coming to Jazz
Dallas' attempt to get Jefferson was derailed because they wanted Minnesota to take DeShawn Stevenson. Nice that DeShawn finally helped out the Jazz...

Jefferson coming to Jazz
My little Jazz timeline (because I'm bored):
The Utah Jazz lose Carlos Boozer, a free agent, to the Chicago Bulls (five years, $75 million), and Utah gains a $14MM Salary Cap Exception in a Sign-And-Trade with Chicago
The Jazz lose Kyle Korver, a free agent, to Chicago (three years, $15 million)
The Jazz lose Wesley to Portland
The Jazz trade for Minnesota Timberwolves Power Forward Al Jefferson (three years, $42 million left on his contract)
Minnesota gets Center Kosta Koufos from the Jazz, and two 1st-Round Picks, including the conditional first-round pick it got from Memphis in the Ronnie Brewer trade
Al Jefferson's history:
2010- 17.1 points and 9.3 rebounds
2009- Major knee surgery
2008- 23.1 points and 11 rebounds
2007- 21 points and 11.1 rebounds (five-year, $65 million contract)
Jefferson is a strong offensive play that plays a slower style of game and doesn't play good defense.
