Amare for Al Jeff and the #6 rumor

jking · Post #1 » by **jking** » Thu Jun 18, 2009 2:32 am

just put this on the Minn board too, this was just posted on boston.com an hour ago......

An NBA executive told the Boston Globe today that the Minnesota Timberwolves is working a deal with the Phoenix Suns that would send former Celtics forward Al Jefferson and their sixth pick in next week's NBA Draft for All-Star Amare Stoudemire.

The Suns, which have dangled Stoudemire for some time, fiound a suitor in Minnesota that is in transition. The team announced today that coach Kevin McHale has ended his 15-year association with the team. New basketball of operations David Kahn is looking to take the franchise into another direction.

ugh how is that a good trade for the suns jeff is coming off a major knee injury so who knows how good he will be and then with the 6th pick theres no telling who will be available at that spot.

You're joking right? Jefferson is younger and nearly as good as Stoudemire and has less injury concerns. He's far ahead of schedule on his knee and will be back by training camp. No way we do this as the Wolves. This has to be bullcrap.

Holy christ, take it and run!

IMO it would make more sense from Minn's perspective to do a Jefferson & 6th pick for Amare and our 14th. Amare isn't much better than Jefferson.

Here's my take.

Jeff is due 60m or so. Love is on a rookie contract and his the same skill set and is a big time rebounder

Amare and love is a better tandem for minny.

And if it don't work out they are free of Jeffs contract and still have Love on the cheap.

I do think more pieces would be involved though.

This is great for MIN if they feel like renting a PF for a year... no way amare resigns in minnesota

tigerblood · Post #12 » by **tigerblood** » Thu Jun 18, 2009 3:12 am

Deng is not a shooting guard. Hill won't be back.

JMac1 · Post #16 » by **JMac1** » Thu Jun 18, 2009 3:16 am

Can Al run SSOL???? Does Al play Defense????? is Al healthy???..........I will reluctantly do this trade, only because we can Draft a PG and a SF of the future.

Nash/Flynn/Dragic
Richardson/LB
Hill/Dudley
Clark/Lou
Jefferson/Lopez

Maybe it's leading up to another deal...Shaq to CHI for Deng + Ty + TT....doooo it!
