This is a pretty interesting trade will wait for the other party to vote

I accept
Levert is awesome but hes very injury prone and i have to move on. Tobias is playing good ball but klay is a stud he has bad games but also goes off for 52pts and record breaking 3 pointers made sometimes! Hes great on defense and seems to do really well in the sim! Little cap saving after the season doesnt hurt either
Good dealings ron

[Ron Artest(1x Champ)]

Accept. Same reasons as before, but a little simplified. I love Levert long term, and Tobias is growing as a player with his improved defense(so far). The little cap space I’ll gain will be used to bring in a true PG.

Votes please

Approve, Klays an upgrade from Tobias, the cost is high in Levert imo but eh, it's fair enough, and he gets a 2nd out of it and maybe Levert never has a fully healthy season. I think MIN will regret this down the line but if the goal is to win now, this works.

I will regret it if levert stops getting hurts and balls out but hes been getting hurt since his freshman year at michigan!
Plus when we get healthy im excited for a starting unit that can score, shoot, rebound, and play great d!

Pg kyle lowry
Sg klay thompson
Sf will barton
Pf kevin love
C hassan whiteside

Spacing 3 pt shooting, passing, rebounding, interior d with lazy ass whiteside playing good again!

And ps to thr portland trailblazers
Lowry, and thompson are looking forward to seeing you soon broski!!

I accept. This trade still feels weird to me but it is much better than the previous one.

I kinda disagree though with some of the reasons Nick gave for accepting this. I particularly don't like that sim performance was mentioned as a reason and I disagree with the cap relief comment because Klay probably will cost more next season than what Harris would make. Also, it is still a question for me if the hard cap might be an issue for TWolves which might directly impact their chances of re-signing Thompson.

[White Mamba]

I'll accept. I wouldn't give up on caris personally and am not sure I'd take Tobias over klay but there's only 1 hall of famer in this trade so I understand why minny does this

[Brian Scalabrine]

I'll accept this as well.

I like Tobias and Levert a lot, but neither of them are as valuable as Klay. Tobias is having a great start to his season, but I don't see him ever getting past the "fringe all-star" tier of players. He might ACTUALLY become an all-star this year, but he's not in that perennial should-be all-star group that Klay has broken into. Klay is a proven 2nd banana on a championship team. Obviously he's had an up and down start to this year, and he's been banana number three since Durant came to town, but with everything Klay has accomplished, I definitely expect him to be a good bit ahead of Harris in value as the season goes on.

LeVert is also awesome. I drafted him, always saw the potential in him, regret trading the guy... But the injury history is real, and this season is his first non-streaky season in a pretty small sample size. Don't get me wrong, if the guy gets back to form LAL ABSOLUTELY wins this trade, but the important context is: he is coming off a rough (though much better than it could have been) injury and already is a guy who is seemingly constantly banged up, and while he was starting an awesome breakout season, the questions of whether or not it is sustainable are very real. Not only that, but his RFA is coming sooner than you'd wish, and any GM will be in a tough place deciding what he's worth. There's a wide range of outcomes for how his career will go from here.

Good on Minny for securing the All-Nba level guy, good on LAL for getting a guy who is a step below as well as a fella who has serious potential.

I think this will be an interesting one to look back on, very curious to see if Minny can retain both Lowry and Thompson.

Haha.. bring it on! Hopefully our games are in beginning of the season so it's more even with Porzingis still out  ;)

Accept also from me if still needed. This could go either way in a long run depending how Levert recovers.
