Post Your Jefferson Proposal Thread

[Klomp]

Probably a good idea to have just one thread for people to come in and propose their trades....

Oh god.... Just like the one we had for Garnett. I need a drink.

Timberwolves' David Kahn refutes trade reports involving Al Jefferson

A day before the NBA draft, more trade reports are surfacing about Minnesota Timberwolves forward Al Jefferson, but Timberwolves president of basketball operations David Kahn denied that a trade involving the team's leading scorer is imminent.

Kahn refuted a report today that the Wolves have offered Jefferson in three separate deals — to Indiana for forward Troy Murphy, to Memphis for forward Zach Randolph and to Detroit for swingman Tayshaun Prince.

Jefferson, who led the Wolves in scoring last season with 17.1 points per game, has been the subject of trade rumors leading up to Thursday night's draft.

"Memphis asked us about Zach and we said no," Kahn said this afternoon in a text message to the St. Paul Pioneer Press. "And I have not spoken with Detroit."

Kahn had a more emphatic response about the alleged Murphy deal.

"Murphy is yet another in a long line of desperation Hail Mary's put out by Indiana on all our players," Kahn said.

On Tuesday, Kahn moved quickly to dispel rumors that he was considering trading Wolves point guard Jonny Flynn to Indiana in exchange for the Pacers' first-round pick, No. 10 overall, in Thursday night's draft. Kahn said the Pacers made the offer last week but he turned it down.

Apparently Minnesota is offering 16+23+Al Jefferson to Detroit for 7+Tayshaun Prince+Chris Wilcox. Not sure Detroit goes for that...

My friend is a Pacers fan, that really made me smile.

[revprodeji]

I would like that deal.

Ironically, this is a thread for fans to post ideas. Yours could get its own thread because of JonnyW.

[Cyborg21]

Do the deal detroit

[Wolves21]

I think I would pull the triger on the Al Jefferson,16th and 23rd for Prince,Wilcox and 7th pick.Would be a good move for both squads.bty does anyone know Wilcox's contrat lenght ?

[Krapinsky]

Rumor has it that we are trying desperately to trade Jefferson in order to get Paul George.

Why not just wait and see if he falls to #16?

[jpatrick]

I'd do that Detroit deal. Would we pick George that high?

I'm not sure I like this Kahn quote:

"Murphy is yet another in a long line of desperation Hail Mary's put out by Indiana on all our players," Kahn said.

Saying stuff like this to the media is how you get other GMs not to like you so much.

Yeah, that's not good. Same kind of stuff got KP in a bind with other GMs.

[Krapinsky]

I'm starting to regret pumping George up so much for the past two months. I love the guy, but I'm not trading Jefferson straight up for the dude.

Better chance of Al coming back with breast implants. You need a 5-10 for George.

I have had this impression this has been Larry Bird's style for many years. Might have worked for him as a player, but its insulting when you do it as a GM.

No way. George is 10-16.

What do you wanna bet?

Agreed, but Kahn is obviously ticked off at Indiana for some reason. In his interview yesterday, he made a reference to the Indiana rumors and the fact that he "thinks he knows where that came from"...suggesting that he was ticked about it leaking out.

[Wolves21]

Here's one trade idea I had,

76'ers Get:
C-Al Jefferson
SF-Ryan Gomes
C-Ryan Hollins
23rd pick

Wolves Get:
SG-Anddre Iguodala
SF-andres Nocioni
Future First Round Pick

[Krapinsky]

Yes, if you don't count the Wolves trading up.

5 = Cousins
6 = big man - Monroe
7 = big man - Davis
8 = Aminu
9 = Henry, Babbit > George
10 = Possibly
