Al Jefferson is heading to Charlotte on three-year deal worth estimated$41 million with opt out after Year 2, sources tell ESPN

Now ya'll can shut up about Al Jefferson. We must now focus on Bynum.

No worries... just tied of merging topics after 11 years of it, but it's all good. Thanks for trying to break the info to us.

At least they finally have a "veteran" presence on the team.

Jefferson loves to play on those non playoff teams.

Unfortunately for their young guys, he's another loser and he's not going to help change the culture of that team. Until they bring in legit NBA winners, they're going to remain bad. Doesn't even have to be guys with rings, but they need to bring in guys with winner pedigrees and that's not Al Jefferson.

Doing a little napkin math here, but what's the common denominator on all those teams?

If this is what Jefferson gets, I wonder what Josh will get?

You would have to assume Dallas and/or Houston will try to get Smith if Howard turns them down as well, so there could be a bidding war for Smith (or Bynum?).

The Dream of the Upper 20's is Alive in Charlotte!

GMs obviously had a hard stance on 12-13 per opposed to 15 per. How he didn't get 4 years 60 from Charlotte is surprising.

My guess is Jefferson wants to get another big and longer term contract in 2 years when he can opt out.
