Blake Griffin 21,400 mill 

total 21,4000 


Min sends 

Nerlens Noel 5.8 mill 
Taurean Price 2.1 / 2.1/ 2.8 / 3.9 mill 
Maurice Harkless 3/3/3 mill 
Thaddeus Young 6 mill 


Total 16.9 mill 


I accept, I really like Noel as a young center especially with him being on the Mavs and Dirk on his way out he will get more time on the court and more ball control. I also like Price as a up and coming young SF and I think he can be a core player if he continues to play like he is. Griffin is a good player but I wasn't going to resign especially with all his injuries. I feel like I gained a lot in return from Griffin considering I traded Randle for him. 

[Minnesota Timberwolves]

I accept.

Blake’s contract is disgusting. He gets hurt more often than I’d like. But I think when you can get a proven star you do it. I like Prince and have high hopes for Noel, but they’re a fair price to pay and I get rid of the other two contracts in the process. I can handle that. I’ll have three spaces to fill, a bit of cap to do it with, and some picks/dead money I can move in case of emergency.

Coming for that title.

I approve.

I think Griffin is playing extremely well. But, he is 29 at the beginning of next season, which means how long would the re-sign be? It also means the Wolves could be the first team to be out of re-signs assuming McCollum and Griffin are extended.

However, that being said, I think the price paid for Griffin in Noel, Prince (his career will be long at the Lakers if they don't even know his name ) Harkless and Thad is a pretty good deal, not withstanding Griffins salary.

Overall, I'd probably rather be on the side of the Lakers, betting on Noel to come good, while having Prince and Harkless on some decent contracts for a while. Instead of Griffin, but I understand the Wolves motivation in doing such a deal. Good job both of you.

[Dallas Mavericks]

I approve.

I think Blake Griffin should age ok, he doesn't rely so much on his athleticism since he has a somewhat consistent jumper. This is a much needed move for the Wolves since it allows them to seriously compete within the time window of KAT's and Turner's rookie contracts.

[Dallas Mavericks]

Trade passed.
