From the Timberwolves site, a transcript of the team’s press conference regarding Jefferson’s extension.
Timberwolves Forward Al Jefferson:
I’m just happy to have it done, and am really looking forward to being
here and getting the season started. It means a lot to me. When they
made the trade, I thought that was the first step (in the organization)
showing that they wanted (me and the other former Celtics) to come
here. That let me know they had a lot of confidence in me right there.
Then to get the deal done thirty minutes before the deadline just put
it over the top. I’m really looking forward to it.
