T'Wolves trade Big Al to the Jazz
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100713/...wolves_trade_2
Now Minny can concentrate on building the team around Darko

Seriously though, not too bad. 2 first rounders, and now the T'Wolves have a starting spot to put Beasley in.

Great trade for Minnesota and Utah (I was hoping Cleveland made the same offer to Minnesota that Utah did)
Love and Jefferson couldn't play together - simple fact
Jefferson, although super talented, is a big injury risk with a huge contract - simple fact
Now you play Love and Beasley together - add the picks (especially since you got Beasley for free basically) and the huge trade exception...
It's not a great haul in terms of "talent" for Jefferson - but since they got Beasley for free - it works out very well.

I see this as a steal for Utah. Jefferson is a great player and will help them huge. Minnesota now has Kevin Love? Good luck with that.

I like this trade...Big Al is coming off an injury, and we really don't need him anymore...I would've liked to see us get more value in return for him, but 2 first-round picks isn't horrible, permitting we get them...we also acquired Kosta Koufos in the deal, so there's a little size coming in...

Yea, but he's worthless.
Sorry, I just don't see how Wolves fans can even think this is a good deal. You're gonna get two 1st rounders in the 20's, and a complete bum for your best player. I can't reason thinking it's a good move if I were a Wolves fan. (And yes, I understand his contract is big and that he can be injury prone...still don't get how anyone can say it's a good deal for them)Last edited by nadeau01_johnson48; 07-15-2010 at 03:32 PM.

He hasn't had playing time...as for the two picks, one comes from the Grizzlies, so that'll be a lottery pick...the other one will likely be in the late teens to early 20s...could we have gotten better? Sure...should we have gotten better? Probably...did we get screwed in this deal? No.

It's the simple fact that Love/Jefferson/Beasley definitely can't play together...
You can't move Love. He is way too talented.
Beasley they basically got for free
Jefferson makes the most coin and is injury prone
As a Cavs fan I wanted Jefferson - but I can't totally understand why Minnesota unloaded him.
Love/Beasley/Darko (make fun of Darko if you want) is crazy athletic and a pretty solid frontcount.
Why they signed Ridnour though - that is the question.
Rubio/Flynn/Ridnour/Sessions - makes zero sense.
