Accept. Just posting the full context of the trade.

Been on the lookout for a star guard for a little while now and this is the end result. Surprisingly didn't use any of the assets I thought I was going to, but hey that just means I get to keep them. With Divac, Coleman, and #12 signed through 97 and Lever, Weatherspoon, and Ellis signed through 96, I feel pretty safe with dealing the picks.

Though last time I dealt a future pick to the Grizzlies it was #1 overall. So in the words of KG, anything is possible!

For the supersonics draftee, if the tradeback rule applies there and we need to wait til day 30, I'll send the #12 draftee in his place and then just swap them back day 30.

The start to a semi-rebuild, my core went for 1-2 years longer than I expected. Good thing FBB doesn't have a "happiness" rating so Lever doesn't know he's traded after this year's playoff run

You know Lever is 33 right going on 34?
Wouldn't be surprised if he retires this year.

[The Bean Regime]

Funny thing about that, I've tried to trade for younger players about as good as Lever before. But they're always way more expensive. Unfair!

[The Bean Regime]

Bump! Can now be processed as:

Minnesota sends:
Nick Anderson
Kenny Gattison
Eric Montross
LaPhonso Ellis (tradeback)
Lindsey Hunter (tradeback)

Vancouver sends:
Lafayette Lever
