Jazz Trade Eric Maynor, Backup PG; Need a Replacement. D-League, Hooah!

If you missed it yesterday, the Jazz traded Eric Maynor and Matt Harpring for some dude named Peter Fehse.  Since I assume you come here for obscure information regarding such things, I'm going to let Sham explain the details.

The reason I'm discussing this here is that the Jazz traded their backup point guard without getting a point guard in return (or anything aside from cap relief, really).  This, as far as I can tell, means that the Utah Jazz are preparing to do what every other team should have done in the past few weeks: Sign Dontell Jefferson from the Utah Flash.

Dontell Jefferson, who topped the first edition of the Randy Livingston Memorial "On The Edge" Call-Up Rankings, is a 6'5" pass-first point guard who played part of last season in the NBA after being called-up by the Charlotte Bobcats.  He also plays for the Utah Flash, is coached by former Jazz scout Brad Jones, and runs the Jazz system (what that is worth, I'm unsure).

Anyway, now that I've developed a post aimed toward getting Dontell Jefferson a call-up, he'll be called-up tomorrow.  If you're skeptical, take a look at this.  I'm one-for-one when it comes to predicting Dontell Jefferson getting called-up.  It's science, Jeff Potter might say

Plus, considering he's a smart, defense first point guard who knows the system and the Jazz need to add a player to meet the NBA's 13 player minimum requirement, it just makes sense.

Why

because

theyve been in the nba. wilks is a vet and livingston is a good story. not saying i agree, but itd be safer to go with those 2 over jefferson.

Jefferson has been in the NBA

And I’m not sure guys are “safer” just because they’ve been in the NBA longer.

Consider that Jefferson’s running the Jazz system right now and I think that probably evens it out.

This really almost makes too much sense

the deal on the tracksuit I mean, not the Jazz signing Jefferson.

Ridiculous Upside, where developing talent and winning are not mutually exclusive.

This comment no longer makes sense.

But yes, I agree. That tracksuit did seem to be a good deal.

Jefferson to the Jazz!

Let’s get this done before he has to travel up to Boise…saves the Flash a bus ticket up, the Jazz a plane ticket back and gives Jeff what he deserves…nothing at for the Stamps in that scenario, no siree…
