Trade - PHO: Wes Johnson, NOR: Lopez, Warrick, MIN: "Miller"

Thu Jul 26, 2012 12:07 pm

NEW ORLEANS -- The Hornets, Suns and Timberwolves have agreed to a multiplayer trade sending 7-foot center Robin Lopez and forward Hakim Warrick from Phoenix to New Orleans, while moving forward Wesley Johnson and a first-round draft pick from Minnesota to Phoenix, a person familiar with the deal said.

...

The deal also sends guard Jerome Dyson and retiring center Brad Miller's $5.1 million contract from New Orleans to Minnesota, allowing the Timberwolves to clear space under the NBA's salary cap as they pursue free agents. Minnesota also will receive two second-round draft picks from New Orleans, while the Hornets will receive cash.

The Timberwolves were also finalizing a two-year, $20 million deal with former Utah Jazz forward Andrei Kirilenko, according to a Yahoo! Sports report.

Also a minor one:
CLEVELAND -- The Cavaliers acquired point guard Jeremy Pargo, a second-round draft pick in 2014, and cash considerations from the Grizzlies in exchange for guard-forward D.J. Kennedy on Wednesday.

Sounds like the Timberwolves are getting the best of the situation, positioning themselves to get AK-47.

Is that even legal? Didn't Minnesota just trade him like a couple weeks ago?

Apparently he's actually headed to Phoenix, ESPN misreported.

That's a good job done by FO of the Suns. Get rid of Warrick and Lopez, and get 1st round pick with young athletic forward in Johnson - I couldn't want any more. (Y)
