Teams I could see going after Jefferson: Utah, Denver, Detroit, Golden State, Indiana, New Jersey, Philadelphia, Phoenix, and Toronto.

Those are teams that currently have a need at PF, teams that could strike out in FA, or teams that have big name PFs but will lose them in FA.
 
Yeah Al is a black hole put he gets the job done though.

@ how most guys go for those pump fakes of his. Besides his suspension and his grandmother passing I think Al may have some of the triangle down though, plus if they have Darko, it will be Darko who gets the ball in the post and get everyone involve really. Kinda of like the Lakers Bynum hardly passes the ball out of the post, but Pau is the guy getting everyone involve. I think we need to give him and Love a real shot you have to rememer that Stewie ( Pecherov) broke his hand and he missed the first two months than came back and had 16 or whatever double-doubles in a row. I say give the guys time to grow and understand how to win.

For reading this paragraph here you go for your entertainment:

[h3]Florida State's Solomon Alabi tested positive for Hepatitis B but doctor says condition is "easily treated and in no way will affect'' him pursing NBA dream[/h3]
Former Florida State star center Solomon Alabi's precipitous fall in Thursday night's NBA draft apparently was due in part to a diagnosis of Hepatitis B, his sports agency confirmed to the Times.

Ugo Udezue, a vice president of player representation for BDA Sports, released a statement from Dr. David Lucas, a sports medicine specialist in Clermont:

"Solomon Alabi tested positive for the Hepatitis B virus. Contact with this virus is common in the African population. His condition is easily treated and in no way will affect his ability and performance as a professional basketball player. He can look forward to a long and successful basketball career.''

The 7-foot-1 Alabi, a native of Nigeria who came to the United States in June 2005 and went to high school at Montverde Academy near Orlando, was FSU's leading scorer as a redshirt sophomore and a big reason the Seminoles were one of the nation's stingiest defenses the last two years. They also reached the NCAA Tournament the last two years.

When he declared early for the draft, he seemed like a sure-fire first-round pick. Mock drafts had him going somewhere around No. 20. Instead, he fell to No. 50 and the Dallas Mavericks, who promptly traded him to Toronto for cash and a future draft pick.

An initial report in the Tallahassee Democrat said his freefall was linked to a letter sent to every NBA club shortly before the draft that raised a red flag. The Democrat reported Alabi had a "rare medical condition.'' While rare in the United States (about 1 million cases), Hepatitis B, an inflammation of the liver, is more common in Africa and Asia. It often can be managed by antiviral medication that lessens the infection and may decrease the chance for severe liver disease later in life.

Still, if teams didn't understand the implications of Hepatitis B or have enough time to do the proper due diligence, it's easy to see how and why Alabi would drop. Although a gifted shot blocker and a solid shooter, he's considered a bit raw and in need of more bulk and has had a couple surgeries (one for a stress fracture to his right leg in January 2008 and a minor knee procedure after last season).

The Raptors, however, had been one of the teams most interested in Alabi (it needs size, especially if Chris Bosh leaves) and the club has a former pro player as an assistant general manager, Masai Ujiri, who's from Nigeria and figures to have a better understanding of Alabi's medical condition.
