If we put the whole picture together, the loss of Jefferson just means more losses and not much gain. And really that’s too bad. Kevin McHale – the much maligned architect of this roster – made a bold move last summer. In exchange for O.J. Mayo, McHale got both Love and Miller. Both players are much more productive than Mayo, so this move was quite good. Unfortunately, the loss of Jefferson means we are not going to see much overall improvement in Minnesota. So the one brilliant move McHale has made might ultimately go unnoticed (at least, outside of this forum).
