--------------

I accept this trade. I have the cap room to take on these contracts as well. My reasoning: I am dealing Caron who is great don't get me wrong, but Al is playing out of his MIND in the NBA and will certainly be getting a gigantic ratings boost whenever we decide to update those (all-star break/off-season) to IMO an 87-88. I get Kwame, who can not only play a better backup while kandi-man is gone, but he also has a 9 mil expiring contract that i will definetely NOT pick up so i can resign al in the offseason. If you are worried about whether i have the money to resign...all i need is jameer and al this offseason, ill be dropping everyone else and i will have around 20 mil to resign them. Not to mention, I should have a fairly decent CHI 1st round pick that I could draft a new PG OR package ALL my picks this offseason for an extremely high 1st.

I approve this deal

[dagr81 - MIN]

i don't have the cap space to re-sign jefferson so I am extremely happy about getting Butler. I didn't really want to give up the pick too, but in the end i have to pull the trigger

[Los Angeles Clippers]

I'm having a tough time with this one. Big men are usually a little more important than smaller guys, so that alone ups Al's value...and he will likely get a ratings increase, though maybe not quite that big.

Laker's 1st rounder should be worth a player around 68-70...and Kwame has a huge expiring.

Butler is very very good, but I'm not sure if he's quite worth all of this. I think I'd approve AlJeff and Kwame for Butler, or AlJeff and the 1st...

I'll wait to approve or reject this though.

[Oklahoma City Thunder]

I'll accept this deal. I agree with LAC that big men are more valuable than G/F's but Caron Butler is not just an ordinary G/F. He is still young and his contract is very manageable for how highly he is rated.

[Utah Jazz]

I accept. Jefferson's rating will skyrocket in terms of how far it goes up and Butler will probably go up gradually, but not as much. The 1st makes up for the time for Jefferson to gain in value.

Minny, I don't see how you can't re-sign Jefferson with 13mil in cap space you're going to get including the 11mil included in this trade, but it's your decision, and Butler's not a bad guy to get in return.

[dagr81 - MIN]

13 isn't enough to sign him, he will probably get 15-17 mil

[Los Angeles Clippers]

I will accept it I guess, not sold that it's "fair" from both sides, but it's not too bad.

Accept.

[Oklahoma City Thunder]

One more vote needed
