Solid move for them. He's probably an upgrade on Boozer, should keep them in the 2nd tier in the West.

I don't know if he is an upgrade with the type of offense the Jazz run. Al Jeff is not a great pick-and-roll guy.

They might put him in center position and play Jefferson and Millsap together there..... I mean he cant be worse than Okur

Huge downgrade from Boozer, not nearly the shooter, way less range, not as good defensively and not as good a fit with D.Williams.

Definitely not better than Boozer. But I kinda like this guy. But still not a better player.

Depends on the system you put the 2 in. Utah is a get up and run kinda team, alot of pick and rolls with D will. Al Jefferson has solid moves down low, but won't be worth a damn in the pick and roll category, or really running the court.

Good move for Minnesota.... he's not a franchise player so why pay him to be one the next three years. Hopefully Minnesota will get some 1st rounders

I really don't understand all this faith Kahn is putting in Darko but it would be a decent consolation prize for Utah considering everyone they lost to free agency.

If this is a true then that's a great pickup for them. He's been great for Minnesota the past 3 years.
