The Jazz have made it clear as they didn't move Al Jefferson or Paul Milsap at the NBA Trade Deadline in February and now they will walk without the Jazz getting any compensation due to both being Unrestricted Free Agents. The Jazz are content to start letting young talent get those Al and Sap Minutes (Enes Kanter and Derrick Favors). Both Al and Sap could fit in any 2K12-13 Playoff Teams and would provide immediate help. The scary part is nether player has hit their 30th birthday which means they haven't even reached their prime. Taking a look at the possible Destinations for both and 2012-13 Numbers:

2012-13 Numbers from Salt Palace JAZZ

"Big" Al Jefferson #25 C/PF 17.8 ppg 9.2 rebs .494 FG %  .770 FT % 33.1 MPG

Paul "Sap" Milsap #24 PF/SF 14.6 ppg 7.1 rebs .490 FG % ..742 FT % 30.4 MPG

Possible Destinations from the Bluedude for Both...

SPURS...Both would fit nicely as TP9 and D.G. of AT&T and then play K.L at the Small Forward, Sap at the Four, and Big Al at the Five and that's without Dunc nor Splitter. Sap could play the Small Forward and Big AL moves to Power Forward....Scary as one will be a Spur for sure!

CAVS...have cap space and package Top Pick in the 2013 NBA Draft and pick up Big AL to go with Thompson and Zeller...or Milsap to help at Small Forward.

LAKERS lose "Dwight of Three Stripes" to #REDNation Rockets Lakers pick up Big AL to go with the "Spaniard" Gasol and the Lakers have that Piece moving forward...

RIP CITY...add to that thin front line of "French Pastry" Batum, L-Train, and J.J. as I would grab Big AL to play the Center and keep L-Train at the Four...

THUNDER....need a Post Presence and Low-Post Scoring as they would be right back at it with Big AL Jefferson in the Post....

HAWKS....what they do with J-Smoove 5 and they have Big AL Horford so they lose J-Smoove 5 and then pick up both Sap and Jefferson

MAVS...they could get both as well but Big AL Jefferson makes most sense as does SAP if they could get both

The Top 6 Destinations as the New Luxury Tax Threshold kicks in and teams will be looking to use Cap Space wisely but both of these players are proven commodities and worth big Free Agent cash. Outside of Dwight and CP3 these are the Two Players that will have an immediate impact as they will go quietly under the Radar but as efficient as any available on the board.
