Wolves shopping Jefferson due to DARKO MILICIC?

[Guest STL10]

David Kahn admitted on Friday that he is exploring a trade of Al Jefferson and the likelihood of a trade increases if the Wolves re-sign Darko Milicic.

 

"It's the right time finally for us to explore this," Kahn said of a possible Jefferson trade. "I've met with Al and discussed this. If Darko comes back, there could be a need to create some playing time.

 

We really need to get our front line settled."--Pioneer Press

LMAO at Jay Bilas' draft board in that draft...1.LeBron 2. Darko 3. Carmelo 4. Wade 5. Bosh

That was everyone's draft board basically and most teams would have took him at 2 as well. Darko is a lot cheaper and they have a lot of guys in the frontcourt so they rotation and playing time wouldnt make sense. Obviously you can get a lot more in return for Al Jefferson so they can get some solid guards in return for him. Darko finally got some playing time this season and got a chance and showed good performance

Personally, I'd look to keep both Al Jefferson and Darko Milicic, and trade Kevin Love instead for a good shooter at the 2... like OJ Mayo lol.

 

A front court of Milicic and Love wouldn't be too bad, either. I like the direction of this team overall.

Just in terms of their playing position and not by ability, Darko is a better fit to Kevin Love than Big Al as he can play a center better. Ignoring his draft position Darko can be a good role player and if the Wolves are sticking to K-Love, Big Al is the one to go. Don't forget they have Ryan Hollins as another center they can use as well.

Jefferson isn't a passer, but Love is. Pekovic might come to Minnesota this year, too.

 

I like what Milicic brought to the team, last year. He just needs to work on his stamina and hook-shot. Hopefully, he's willing to do so. He was happy with the Wolves, after all.
