A person with knowledge of the deal tells The
Associated Press that the Minnesota Timberwolves have agreed to
send power forward Al Jefferson to the Utah Jazz for two future
first-round draft picks and the salary-cap trade exception.


      The person spoke on the condition of anonymity Tuesday because
the deal had not yet been officially announced.


      Jefferson averaged 17.1 points and 9.3 rebounds last season for
the Timberwolves in his first year back from a major knee injury in
February 2009. He will help fill a void in Utah when Carlos Boozer
went to Chicago.


      Jefferson came to the Timberwolves in 2007 as the main cog in
the blockbuster deal that sent Kevin Garnett to Boston. He averaged
23.1 points and 11 rebounds in the 50 games before he was injured
in 2009.
