I honestly hadn't seen the parallels until your comment. <br /><br />Jazz give up a couple first-round draft picks.<br />Lakers give up a couple first-round draft picks.<br /><br />Jazz get rid of Kosta Koufus in the trade.<br />Lakers get rid of Kwame Brown in the trade.<br /><br />The difference I can see is that the Jazz did a sign-and-trade with Chicago to get the trade exception that allowed them to land Jefferson. <br /><br />In short, they gave up Boozer to get Al, unlike the Laker situation where the Lakers were able to get Pau because of Kwame's big ol' salary, which Memphis had to take on.<br /><br />So the Jazz gave Minnesota salary relief in addition to everything else. Memphis just got screwed.Brandonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08426116709669588248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4686559413429262258.post-53297024357300043302010-07-14T11:06:02.079-06:002010-07-14T11:06:02.079-06:00Farewell Kosta.Farewell Kosta.sojohnson88https://www.blogger.com/profile/15571798402816205853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4686559413429262258.post-25649311111090379322010-07-14T10:44:01.971-06:002010-07-14T10:44:01.971-06:00So you like the idea of teams trading away franchi...So you like the idea of teams trading away franchise power forwards for essentially nothing in return...Matt Gibbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03673869352562960087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4686559413429262258.post-25570755356953700262010-07-13T17:50:55.964-06:002010-07-13T17:50:55.964-06:00if he turns out to be a bust I give up on rooting ...if he turns out to be a bust I give up on rooting for my my hometown team and jump on the Heat bandwagon because Deron's gone if Jefferson isn't the answerJoshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14632549154506840399noreply@blogger.com
