Oregon Sports News: Blazers Should Consider Al Jefferson, Andre Iguodala & Nikola Pekovic
Blazersedge — An OregonSportsNews.com panel of writers that includes Casey Mabbott, Anthony Burrola, Kyle Boggs and Ryan A. Chase takes a roundtable approach to some of the key free agency questions facing the Portland Trail Blazers this summer, including who should be the top target. Casey Mabbott: Why not kill two birds with one stone, and snag a couple of Utah Jazz players? I would like to see the team make a big move for either Al Jefferson or Mo Williams. Dwight Howard, Chris Paul, and Josh Smith are the sexy picks right now that will carry huge contracts and not fit the team on paper or on th...

Another idea: Bring back Al Jefferson (sign and trade for Paul Pierce)
CelticsBlog — Like many Celtics fans, I hated seeing Al Jefferson go back in 2007. It was totally worth the price, especially in hindsight, but it was hard to say goodbye to the kid that grew into a legit low post star before our eyes in Boston. It was hard to watch from afar as he struggled through injuries and horrible seasons in Minnesota and a first round flame out in Utah. All along the way, there have been countless fan generated ideas on how to bring him back to Boston, but of course that never worked out. Now he's a free agent (in the same year that teammate Paul Milsap is a free agent by...
Boston Celtics May 10, 2013Favors ready for the jump
CBSSports.com Fantasy — Jazz forward Derrick Favors has waited patiently for his opportunity to breakout, and it could finally come next season. Favors is set to enter his fourth season, and he should not longer have a pair of borderline All Stars blocking him in the starting lineup, with Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap set to be unrestricted free agents. The Jazz are expected to let one or both of those players walk, opening the door for Favors to step into the starting lineup. Favors is coming off his best season as a professional yet, averaging 9.4 points and 7.1 rebounds per game in just 23.2 minutes per game. ...
April 25, 2013Jefferson mum on free agency
CBSSports.com Fantasy — Jazz center Al Jefferson, who is one of eight players on Utah's roster slated to be a free agent this summer, would not give reporters any hint of where he might be playing next season. “Everything is happening so fast,’’ he finally told the Deseret News. “I’m going to let (my agent) handle that when it comes time to get to the table and talk. I’ll cross that bridge when I get there.’’
April 22, 2013Kragthorpe: Jazz will miss Al Jefferson more than Paul Millsap
Salt Lake Tribune — Kragthorpe: Jazz will miss Al Jefferson more than Paul Millsap by Kurt Kragthorpe Tribune Columnist Published Apr 18, 2013 06:37PM MDT In the tradition of Jazz legend Karl Malone, center Al Jefferson accidentally referred to “the city of Utah” during an interview Thursday. If this is the end for Jefferson with the Jazz, his legacy hardly will resemble the Mailman’s, considering Jefferson’s three-year tenure in Salt Lake City includes exactly zero playoff victories. Yet Jefferson, whose face on the southeast facade of EnergySolutions Arena temporarily hovers above Malone’s statue, des...
Utah Jazz April 18, 2013Jazz's Jefferson coy about his future in Utah
Utah Jazz Notes | Salt Lake Tribune — Jazz's Jefferson coy about his future in Utah the Salt Lake Tribune Published Apr 18, 2013 01:10PM MDT A jovial Al Jefferson wasn't talking about his future with the Jazz on Thursday -- if there is one.Utah's leading scorer this season, Jefferson becomes an unrestricted free agent on July 1. One of management's major decisions during what will likely be a hectic off-season will be whether to try and bring Jefferson back to Utah. He will undoubtedly get big-money offers from other teams.For now, however, Jefferson isn't discussing his contract situation."We'll cross that bridge when I ...
Utah Jazz April 18, 2013Utah Jazz: Season ends with loss to Grizzlies
Salt Lake Tribune — Utah Jazz: Season ends with loss to Grizzlies by Bill Oram The Salt Lake Tribune Published Apr 17, 2013 11:49PM MDT Memphis, Tenn. • Al Jefferson sat in a folding chair for which he was too large, his knees angled upward, and shook his head slowly. His lips stuck out in a frustrated pout. Mo Williams rolled gently back and forth on a rubber medicine ball. As minutes passed, the truth set in. Their bid to qualify for the playoffs on the last night of the season fell far short. This, they realized, was it. Just as it began, the 39th season in Utah Jazz history ended with uncertainty. Qu...

Salt Lake Tribune — Jazz notes: Boston bombing saddens Jefferson by Bill Oram The Salt Lake Tribune Published Apr 16, 2013 12:24AM MDT Minneapolis • Al Jefferson spent the first three years of his NBA career in Boston, a city with a proud sporting heritage, but one that will now be associated with Monday’s bombing at the Boston Marathon. Jefferson, who spent the afternoon napping, said he missed the news until he was in the elevator heading to the Jazz’s 7 p.m. game at the Target Center. “Anytime you hear things like that it always affects you,” Jefferson said. “Because that could happen to anybody, any ...

No Thanks to You, San Antonio - The Downbeat #1017
SLC Dunk — Al Jefferson literally carried the team on his back on Friday to beat the Timberwolves. Okay, he didn't literally carry them, but I am sure some announcer somewhere said that. But he was awesome. I was surprised that 40 points matched a career high for Big Al. I would have guessed his career high was more than 40. Forty points, 13 rebounds, and 6 assists. The 5 turnovers are waaay too much though. Just kidding about the turnovers. As much as we get after Big Al for not getting to the free throw line, it was pretty incredible that he was able to score 40 points while only taking...

Anyway, on with the show . . . . . More on Al Jefferson 's big night: Remember last game where Al scored 40, had a double double, and dished out 6 assists? It was a pretty amazing night for him. The whole 40 / 10 / 5 thing is kind of rare, the last guy to do it in the NBA was Kevin Durant. Of course, it's been done before in Jazzlan...
