People that have frequented the Celtics chat during games know that I have always been a big supporter of Al Jefferson. Jefferson is playing huge right now. And it is important to remember that we did not get KG for "nothing" The celtics gave up a player who is going to be an all star for years and years to come. A all star that has post moves the NBA has not seen in twenty years. Now I am not saying trading for KG was not the right move. All I am saying is that Al Jeff is great right now, averaging 37 minutes per game, 20 points, and he is the seventh best rebounder in the game at a little over 11 boards a game. The timberwolves are struggling badly as a team, but there is only so much AJ can do. After all, he is playing with the same cast of scrubs the celtics had. Their wins and losses cannot be faulted on Jefferson. The guy gives 110% every night.
But, like I said before I am all for the KG trade. But it does beckon the question. What would the celtics record look like if we had Jefferson instead of Garnett?
It would be great to know the outcomes of decisions before you could make them. But I know that is not how life works. So basically what I am saying is that, the KG trade will be GREAT if we win a title, but if we do not win a title, I would of loved to have seen Al Jefferon stay in green.
Simply put, Al Jefferson, how can you not like the guy?
