The Most Likely Al Jefferson Destination

I love thinking about trade possiblities, but I hate coming up with obviously lopsided deals for the Timberwolves. I think this deal I've proposed favors both teams, while also being consistent with past rumors...

Detroit gets...

Al Jefferson

Utah Pick (currently #25)

Minnesota gets...

Tayshaun Prince

Detroit Pick (Currently #7)

After taking into account rookie salaries, this deal matches up on the trade machine.

Detroit has been looking for a young big, and they get the best one available in Jefferson. Minnesota gets the opportunity to draft Al's replacement at #7(Favors, Davis, Aldrich, Whiteside) while also getting a starting SF and veteran presence with championship experience.
