RUMOR: Al Jefferson for Jason Richardson?

Purely speculation right now, but some pretty accurate sources have been saying the Suns have been working at a trade to send JRich to the Wolves for Al Jefferson. I'm unsure about this. Jeff is just like Amare, bad knees, bad defense. But he's younger, can rebounder much better, and seems like he would be a good C to play in the Suns system.

 

No link considering this is all just a rumor for now.

imo i think his a better fit at the pf i think suns should go to a more of a half court game, nash is getting old as with hill i think it would be more beneficial if they are trying to make a playoff push/run. but then again your players would be getting used to the offence so i guess you wouldn't want to change it up to much

his defence shouldn't be that much of a worry if you guys are starting Lopez at the C

Why do people keep mentioning that Nash is getting old? What has he shown that makes people think he's slowing down? He had one of the best seasons of his life last year, arguably better then his 1st MVP season. Hill isn't slowing down either. Just because you're old doesn't mean you're not effective in games.

Don't really get it from either side. All the moves the Suns have/are likely to make would keep the run-and-gun foundation going, which has been the only real successful style this team has played with the last decade. Jefferson is not Amare; he will not kill teams in the PnR as much and won't be beating other bigs down the floor every fastbreak. He needs legit post touches to be very effective, and by doing that you are hurting everyone's strengths on that roster.

 

As for the Wolves...they can do better than JRich if they are going to give up Jefferson. At least get some young players, a TPE or draft picks back.
