Vancouver- Minnesota Trade

[grizzlies]

Vancouver sends:
Gordon Hayward 11m, 11m, 11m, 11m, 11m team option
Montrezl Harrell 500k, 500k

Minnesota sends:
Blake Griffin 14m, 14m, 14m, 14m, 14m team option
Evans 3mil, 3mil, 3mil team option

Minnesota: -11.5mil; +5.5mil (total)
Vancouver: +17mil; +0.9mil (total)

I accept. Blake is a superstar and this league is a superstar league. Tyreke is probably depth, but he can contribute in all facets and 21 minutes per is a pretty solid off the bench contribution.

[Minnesota Timberwolves]

I accept. There have been plenty of nights where Blake has been my best player, but I don’t think this is the season he was going to lead my squad to a championship, and I’ve secretly never forgiven him for getting shut down on our title push last year.

Harrell’s contract will be gold this year and next, and I am optimistic Hayward will be back next season, if not at an all-star level, at least at a 30 minute, 30FP level. Not being in cap-hell is nice, too.

[Dallas Mavericks]

This trade appears to be better for Vancouver, but Gordon Hayward could still improve. I look forward to seeing how this trade pans out.

I approve.

Interesting trade. Griffin is the better player, but if Hayward can get back to his best there won't be much difference. Other than the $3m discount.

I approve.
