July 5, 2006 Big Al is going to have a break out year this year. He is losing weight, getting in shape and best of all, working with Clifford Ray and learning to play better in the post. I agree with Al... Danny is taking a big chance if he trades any of our young guys.

WALTHAM - Big Al isn't quite as big these days.
While peeling off the tape from his ankles after Wednesday's Summer League mini-camp practice, Jefferson reported that he's dropped about 14 pounds since last season.
"I'm on a strict diet, I've changed my eating habits, been working out, court stuff, all of that. I want to lose about 10 more so I can be a little undersized coming into training camp so I can run better," said Jefferson. "I want to come in lighter this year and in better shape. I'm still not in the shape I want to be in because there's a lot of things I can't do with this ankle. But I'm going to step it up a whole 'nother level when I get back from Summer League and by October I'll be ready. But I've got a long way to go."
