The San Antonio Spurs, Utah Jazz and Minnesota Timberwolves are discussing a three-team deal, according to sources close to the situation. Nothing is imminent, but the teams will continue to talk over the next two days.
In the rumored deal, the Spurs would acquire Josh Howard, the Timberwolves would acquire C.J. Miles and Jamaal Tinsley and the Jazz would acquire Danny Green and Wayne Ellington. Other players and draft picks will likely be included in the finalized trade.
Utah holds a $10.9 traded-player exception and San Antonio holds a $854,400 traded-player exception as well.
Sources described the talks as ongoing, but stressed that no deal is imminent.

Josh Howard???
CROFL if true, the front office must have really wanted him bad.
WTF? Danny Green is far from untouchable but Josh Howard? He looks pretty damn done. He can't shoot from the outside, his scoring has fallen way off and he doesn't rebound as much anymore.
The only way this makes sense is if the Spurs are getting rid of Richard Jefferson in another trade and want veteran insurance at small forward. Otherwise, I'd rather just keep Green than add Josh Howard's corpse.
Alex Kennedy is the only person on hoopsworld I trust and he doesn't usually post something unless it has some legs.
god I'd be so pissed
Man am I glad this is from Hoopsworld. Howard is more useless than and cannot be amnestied. I'd rather have Steve Smith or Samaki Walker back than make that trade.
Lol.
This can not be real.
again he said nothing is imminent but it is being discussed
Is it a miracle and we found a suitor for RJ?
Howard didn't want to come via free agency and the spurs still want him? I'm not sure trading for a player who wanted to be elewhere is a good investment. I can live w/o Green. I think he's pretty much peaked in terms of what he can do on the court. Although, I'm a little surprised Anderson's name didn't come up.
Pass. It would be better for the spurs to keep green than to get howard.
Darko Milicic?
Yeah I hope the Spurs are rejecting the offer. Or one of the other two teams rejects it. I would hate this deal.
It doesn't make a lot of sense considering they have 2 power forwards and if the trade goes through, be down a pg and sg.
I think I was happier at the option of J. Howard before the season started. Only way I'm behind this is if we get someone to take RJ and or we get another 1st round pick this summer in this deal
Green is one of the most overrated players on SpursTalk, but I'd rather keep him over Josh Howard..he's a ty player, and he wouldn't fit well with the Spurs..
The only way this makes sense is if RJ is out the door in another deal and/or there's another piece involved in the trade.
If not, then I can't fathom why they make this deal. Ugh.
True. No way Spurs acquire Howard and keep Jefferson on the team. Some team must have caved on RJ if the Spurs considered this deal. Then again, none of this has been confirmed yet.
That's the same thing I was thinking. It makes no sense to trade 1 wing player for another unless something else is in place
I'm struggling to figure out how this trade makes sense to any of the teams involved. By itself, it doesn't make sense for the Spurs ... especially since Ginobili is in and out of the lineup so much. Green is basically the team's Manu insurance at this point. And if you add Josh Howard to Richard Jefferson, the Spurs might as well send Kawhi to the Toros.
Green and Ellington may allow the Jazz to get rid of Raja Bell but there's not much difference between Green, Ellington and Miles.
The Timberwolves can't possibly think Tinsley will help deal with the loss of Rubio, can they? Tinsley hasn't been halfway decent in half a decade. Going from Ellington to Miles could save money but that's about it.
There must be draft picks and/or cash involved that is the true motivation if this is a legit rumor.
Howard can play the two. He is insurance for Manu at two. He can play three if Jefferson flames out in playoffs. It makes sense except Howard has sucked in the playoffs.
Also, of trade happens, Jefferson to be amnestied this summer?
Weird rumor. I don't really see why Spurs would be interested.
