"An NBA executive told The Boston Globe on Wednesday that the Minnesota Timberwolves are working on a deal that would send Al Jefferson and the No. 6 pick in next week's NBA draft to the Phoenix Suns for Amare Stoudemire (ESPN)."
It is an interesting deal, but if I was the Suns I still don't think I would do it. I am not that high on this year's draft class (other then the top pick), and Big Al is just too fragile. The Suns would like to move Stoudemire, but they also don't want to sell themselves short. There will be a lot of rumors, and I believe this one. I just don't see the Timberwolves being able to pull it off.
***UPDATE***
It looks like it was the Suns that were actually trying to pull off this deal and were turned down by the Timberwolves....yea I am shocked too.
"Another source said today that the Suns made the trade offer to the Wolves recently and were 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 (Boston.com).
