How far would Dallas have gone had they gotten Jefferson as opposed to Chandler? This is of course assuming Jefferson would have been put at the 5 even though he is a 4.

The Jazz got him for Koufous (does he count as a prospect?) and two firsts.

So Dallas probably would have had to give up RoddyB, JJ Barea, Dampier and picks.

Jefferson is probably a more valuable player overall in a vacuum, but he sure can't control the pain the way Tyson does on defense and I think that is what Dallas really needed.

Then again, who would turn down a post that can push out 23 and 11 for a season?

Tyson's defense and Barea's offense would be a lot to lose from this playoff run.

We always wondered how Jefferson would fare on a contender. Turns out he was a bigger empty numbers guy than Boozer and Bosh combined. His plus/minus was horrible. That trade played a major part in leading to blowing up the Jazz.

Mavs really dodged a bullet there.

i always wondered how the celtics would've been if they traded for allen and kept jefferson
