84# 自由神 Problem with Al Jefferson is that he offers limited defense. Of course, Boozer wasn't much better when up against the two 7-footers that the Lakers have, but Boozer provides better offense.

I quite like the Raja Bell acquisition, being able to drain long distance bombs and play defense on Kobe, but who knows what has happened to him since his injuries?

To me, the Jazz have weakened and, if matched up against the Lakers once again, will find it difficult to even steal one game.

86# Rated-R Okay, to be fair he is bigger than Boozer, but he's still 2 inches short of Gasol and Bynum. He'd match up with Bynum because of his strength and since Bynum is less agile than Gasol, which is better than Boozer vs Gasol in the past seasons. But he still gives up 2 inches to Bynum and has worse footwork. With Bynum being limited last postseason due to injury, we couldn't really tell what he'd be able to do when healthy. I still say that Bynum will burn Jefferson if 100%

Personally I think the Pacers are in good shape by adding Darren Collison albeit losing Troy Murphy. This young kid is one of the rising young guards in the league and has shown many many times that he can play, with a 35-point performance and 20-assist display last season. They're putting faith into sophomore Tyler Hansbrough who has shown promise but was bugged by injuries last season.

The Rockets have added a nice piece in Courtney Lee but lost Trevor Ariza, who I think is the better player of the two. Ariza has better defensive capabilities and can score but this is a nice deal for the Hornets who needed to address the problem at the 3-spot.

The Nets, though, are the winners in this trade by adding Troy Murphy, a versatile player at the 4 spot and they're looking to be in playoff contention with Lopez and Harris.
