Wolves propose trade

[Jigger Here]

Minnesota Timberwolves general manager David Kahn recently offered forward Al Jefferson(notes) to the Indiana Pacers for forward Danny Granger(notes), but was immediately rebuffed, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.

While Pacers president Larry Bird remains determined to build around Granger, sources say Kahn has become increasingly dubious on making Jefferson a cornerstone for the Timberwolves.

So far, Kahn has tried to undo almost everything from the Kevin McHale regime, and trading Jefferson would be another significant step in that direction.

This season, he’s averaging 17.7 points and 9.1 rebounds.

Jefferson, 25, has three years and $42 million left on his contract after this season. Any proposed deal would’ve needed another player or two involved to make the salaries match, but the Pacers had no interest in such a discussion, sources said.

Minnesota also has chemistry issues between Jefferson and forward Kevin Love(notes). “There’s some jealous stuff that’s playing out,” one league source said.

What are your guys thoughts?

from the Wolves prospective I would pull the trigger on this in a heart beat.. The Pacers would have to be drunk to even consider it in my opinion.

Who is Al Jefferson?

Who are the Wolves?

Jefferson has never lived up to the hype. Another Mchale trade gone wrong.

I would take the best you could get for him and move on.

how is al jefferson called BIG al. for nba standards he is not even close to big. After his weight loss he appears normal with substandard play! the wolves are a joke IMO too bad no other state will take them....

I am not sure I would want the Wolves to have Granger though.....the guy is very injury prone but is a great scorer when healthy.....

The Wolves could have drafted Granger if McHale was not so hung up getting a "scoring" SG (McCants) that year.

Granger - 24 ppg all star

McCants - dumped by Khloe Kardashian & out of the league
