If we sign a guy like Jefferson we're a fringe playoff team with not a lot of money to improve with. Its Peja all over again.


I wouldn't say it's Peja all over again. If Peja didn't injure his back, it's a totally different discussion. It would definitely limit our roster flexibility.

AD23 is already one of the best p&r defenders in the league and a great help defender. Hes not a statue like Milsap.

Al Jeff lost some quickness after the ACL, but he can still body up w any big in the league. Al Jeff can score it and his advanced back to the basket game opens things up for everyone. He can still board and block shots. 1 knock on his game compared to numerous positives? Meh. If he wants a max or near max (he won't get either as a 28 year old center) then pass.

Im not talking Peja as a player. "Peja-situation" in that we become a playoff team but nowhere near good enough to actually contend. And we don't have money to really get better.

So we're stuck in perpetual mediocrity or sightly better. We become Atlanta, who are good every year, but not contenders.
