What do you say Brand, Marion, Jae Crowder, & Collison for Al Jefferson?
Why for Utah: Who cares if we screw them over.
Why for Us: Brand is expiring and not too useful. So is Collison and we all know he is not our Jason Kidd of the future. Jefferson is the elite post player in the NBA, 8th in PER & a top ten overall player. Only 27. Improved greatly last year showing he was still getting better after knee surgery. He's the center of the future.

What do I think?
We should have at least one practice together with guys before we trade away our starting PG (and only PG), a possible Ron Artest-type, and two solid, top 30 role players in Marion and Brand.
P.S. Who would play point with Collison gone? Roddy? Mayo? DoJo? Would we look for some undrafted gem that hasn't even made another team's practice squad?
