The Utah Jazz announced today that the team has acquired center/forward Al Jefferson from the Minnesota Timberwolves in exchange for center Kosta Koufos, the Memphis Grizzlies' protected 2011 first-round pick (obtained by the Jazz a previous trade) and an additional future protected first-round pick.

"We are happy to acquire a young power player who has developed into one of the best low-post scorers in the league," said Jazz General Manager O'Connor. "We gave up significant assets to obtain Al and we look forward to watching him progress with our team."
