nor is Amare. Actually, Jefferson has the potential to be a franchise player. We've already see all that Amare can do. He can't carry a team. Jefferson is arguable at least as good as Amare. And he may still improve.
Apparently the Suns made the offer and the Wolves declined...which is the same thing I would do if I was Minny
I'm not sure, but I think the knee will ultimately stop him reaching those levels again. Additionally, his ability to put up big numbers is unproven without a gun PG serving it up to him on a silver platter.
Amare has peaked. Al has not. Amare is a better scorer. Al is not too far off. He doesn't have a top rate PG setting up for him like Amare does. Al is a much better rebounder and defender. That is the most important thing that separates these two guys. If you want a franchise player to build your team around, you want a guy who can dominate on both ends. Al has the potential to be that.
I do think that Amare will be traded this summer, but I don't see the Wolves moving Al Jefferson any time soon.
Pre-microfracture and when the Spurs decided to let Amare go off because when he did he forgot he had team mates which allowed the Spurs to take the series? I remember.
