Al to Phoenix was a bogus rumor

Everyone can relax:

Jefferson staying put with Wolves
Posted by Marc J. Spears, Globe Staff June 18, 2009 11:21 AM

An NBA source said today that Minnesota forward-center Al Jefferson is not being traded to the Suns with the sixth overall pick for Suns All-Star forward Amare Stoudemire. An NBA executive told The Globe on Wednesday that the teams discussed the trade. But another source acknowledged the discussion, but also said the Suns were quickly turned down. The source added that the Wolves new general manager David Kahn has even called Jefferson, an ex-Celtic, to tell him the trade would not happen. As for Stoudemire, the cost-cutting Suns definitely seem interesting in moving him and his hefty salary.

The Suns calling Kahn with an offer is a whole lot different than saying a trade is in the works.

No results found for junl:
Did you mean junk (in dictionary) or Junk (in reference)?

they're ok. Jared Dudley is kinda cool, I feel like if I hung out with him enough times that I'd start dressing like him and using the same slang.

You mean what is a Boson?

Glad you asked...

"By definition, bosons are particles which obey Bose-Einstein statistics: when one swaps two bosons, the wavefunction of the system is unchanged.[2] Fermions, on the other hand, obey Fermi-Dirac statistics and the Pauli exclusion principle: two fermions cannot occupy the same quantum state as each other, resulting in a "rigidity" or "stiffness" of matter which includes fermions. Thus fermions are sometimes said to be the constituents of matter, while bosons are said to be the particles that transmit interactions (force carriers), or the constituents of radiation. The quantum fields of bosons are bosonic fields, obeying canonical commutation relations."

...in summary, Jefferson has to be packaged with Gomes or Bassy to be unchanged. Ferry-mions (Cleveland players) however are a completely different matter (no pun intended.)

good to hear...this trade was bull...

One source acknowledged that the two teams discussed a trade, but another said that the Suns quickly turned down the swap

so the Suns better not trade Amare unless it's for a package way better than 6/Al

Pretty sure the wiretap got that backwards since it doesn't match the last paragraph of Kahn talking to Jefferson to assure him he's not going anywhere.

Kahn: "Don't worry Big Al, those trade rumors were incorrect. I mean we tried like the dickens to ship you're butt out of here, but unfortunately the Suns are too stupid to let us just give you away for damaged goods. Better luck next time big guy. How's the knee? Can't wait til November. Go Pacers, er I mean Wolves. BEEP BEEP! Um, AROOOOOOO!!!!!!"

If Khan offered that and Kerr turned it down then I'd say that both teams are tied for dumbest GM.

But another source acknowledged the discussion, but also said the Suns were quickly turned down.

Realgm has it wrong.

So in other words the person who wrote the wiretap is struggling with English as a second language?
