Make It Naaaashty Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 After winning just 15 games in Minnesota last season, Al Jefferson is excited about his recent trade to Utah. "They have a nice group of guys, but will have a couple more losing seasons," Jefferson said of the Timberwolves. "Minneapolis is my home away from home. I respect the fans that have supported me through the good and the bad ... but when I told people I played for Minnesota, some people didn't even know they had a team. Everybody knows about Utah. Everyone knows the Utah Jazz. "I go from being in a Toyota to a Bentley. It's a beautiful thing." The Jazz acquired Jefferson from the Timberwolves for two first-round picks and young center Kostas Koufos. Utah needed to make a move after losing Carlos Boozer to Chicago in free agency. http://realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/68369/20100726/al_jefferson_on_trade_its_like_going_from_toyota_to_bentley/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fedefox Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Toyota getting some bad publicity for free, T-Wolves too. Why being so disrespectful with your former team and teammates, I don't get that, that is a disrespect even to the guy who handed you the towel every game.

Owner Real Deal Posted July 27, 2010 Owner Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 That's okay. Maybe after the upcoming season, the Jazz fans will say the Boozer-to-Jefferson transition is like going from a Bentley to a Toyota. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erick Blasco Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 Does Jefferson not realize that Toyotas are good cars? And that in Utah's purist, no pizzaz offense, the team is much more analogical to a Toyota than a Bentley? What he MEANT to say was that the trade is like going from a shopping cart to a Toyota. The Bentley is in LA, and the personal jet is in Miami. I guess Boston is a nuclear submarine? Can anyone help me out here? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenIverson#1fan Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 I think the Jazz won't make ir so far this season. Since Jefferson is new to the team, need stime to learn their style of play. In about 2 seasons they'll be a championship contender again.
