Owner Real Deal Posted July 13, 2010 Owner Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 The Utah Jazz are acquiring forward Al Jefferson from the Minnesota Timberwolves, a league source told Yahoo! Sports. The source said the trade will be completed sometime Tuesday. The Jazz will take on Jefferson by using the trade exception they obtained in their sign-and-trade deal that sent Carlos Boozer to the Chicago Bulls. The Jazz also expect to send the T’wolves a protected first-round pick they acquired from the Memphis Grizzlies last season in the Ronnie Brewer trade and another future first-round pick. More than anything, the T’wolves are making the deal to get off the remaining three years and $42 million on Jefferson’s contract. They have been looking to trade Jefferson for some time after deciding to build around forward Kevin Love.Read more 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dash Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Ante Tomic's draft rights came up earlier in the trade discussions, hope they were at least able to swipe him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dzy Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Great move the Jazz. He isn't exactly Boozer, but a good replacement for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliCurbStomppa Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 (edited) They basically replace Boozer which they needed and he will be better i believe. We'll see how the combo between D-Will and Jefferson play out. They prob be decent Edited July 13, 2010 by CaliCurbStomppa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Multi-Billionaire Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Blazers will be healthy, Thunder will get better and better, Jazz could be better with motivated Al (never played on winning team and great coach)... and us Nuggets. One of these teams is gonna finish 4th in the division. Cautiously optimistic it won't be us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
