I might be in the minority on this, but Jefferson's not all that high on my list. A few reasons:

1) he doesn't provide any kind of a defensive presence at center
2) his scoring efficiency is pretty pedestrian for a guy who shoots as much as he does
3) his numbers have been trending downward the last few years rather than evidencing growth.

Certainly you could argue that his exile to Minnesota has something to do with the 2nd and 3rd points above, and if that's the case and Minnesota is making him available for pennies (dimes?) on the dollar, then he would definitely be a smart buy. Still, I'd want to explore all my options for acquiring JJ and/or Iggy (in addition to the top names) before I looked his way, for example.

I agree that he hasn't had the opportunity or supporting cast to really shine...I imagine that if you have any soul or pride I'm pretty sure that Minny would suck it right out of ya.

Without any further thought or study, I would go for Jefferson over JJ.
