Los Angeles Lakers trade:
85 Kyrie Irving - $5,375,760 - $5,607,240 - $7,070,730 - $9,191,949 78 Carl Landry - $5,000,000 - $5,550,000 - $6,160,500 - $6,838,155 - $7,590,352
Total: $10,375,760
Denver Nuggets trade:
81 Goran Dragic - $7,231,000 - $7,529,409 - $7,909,090 - $8,521,000 - $9,458,309 80 Kenneth Faried - $1,311,240 - $1,367,640 - $2,249,768 - $3,257,664 73 Nikola Vucevic - $1,719,480 - $1,793,520 - $2,751,260 - $3,865,520 ?? Marquis Teague - $500,000 - $600,000 - $700,000 LAL 2013 1st round pick DEN 2014 1st round pick
Total: $10,761,720
I accept. If it is possible to overpay for Kyrie Irving then I'm probably doing it. Dragic, Faried and Vucevic are all very good players plus he gets two 1st rounders and a rookie with plenty of potential. It's way more than what Cleveland got for Kyrie that's for sure. I think it's worth it though. I'm trying to beat the Heat and build a dynasty. To do that I need superstars. If the trade goes through then I'll have four All-Stars, three of whom are arguably superstars. My core of Irving, Harden and George will all be 23 years old or younger and my star vet Bosh is still only 29. The best part of all that is that I'll have all four of those player's Bird rights when their contracts expire. Plus with the Spurs 2014 1st rounder (Andrew Wiggins) I can add another potential superstar.

I accept, I want exactly this type of package or more for Irving, I would not take anything less then this, I want this or above.
With Dragic I get a solid PG that can hold the fort down and still give me production, with Vucevic and Faried I get 2 solid and developing bigs that can anchor my offense/defense for the next 5-6 seasons, I receive another PG who if developed properly can become a solid PG, and I get 2 first round picks in addition to removing Landry and his contract from the team.
PS: I just ask one thing from the TC, please judge and accept/decline this trade fairly, no well I want Kyrie I decline, or I want to screw over LAL so I accept.
Just honest fair assessment and decision for the trade.

Goddamn Alex I think you might be in pole position for Executive of the Year after this trade. Denver is clearly giving up A LOT to get Kyrie, but a trio of Bosh - Harden - Irving is an incredible achievement for any GM who started out with Denver's team on paper. On the other hand the Lakers are adding players where they're needed and Kenneth Faried is clearly going to be an impactful player for a long time to come. I accept. Very impressive guys.

LAL offered me a deal of something like Irving and Landry for Lillard, Barnes, and Baragani. I rejected that because I believe in the former two guys, but that would have been a much better than this. If I were on the TC I would reject this deal. Granted, I have never seen Vucevic played, and maybe he is the next coming of Wilt Chamberlain, but the other three players that LA gets in this deal are nothing special. Faried, the best piece the Lakers get, will be nothing more than am undersized defense and rebounding PF. Additionally, I think Dragic is super overrated, posting DECENT stats on a bad team and Marquis Teague will probably be nothing more than a back up PG. Though LA could make his own pick more valuable by tanking, I don't see that happening because A. they have a good record right now and B. the Mamba is on the team. Denver's 2014 1st will be super late in the round, and will only get better after this trade. Now, to my least favorite part of this trade; if you can really believe that. LAL said ...in addition to removing Landry and his contract from the team. CARL LANDRY IS A GOOD PLAYER, I HAVE BEEN SAYING THIS FOR YEARS, I WANTED TO KICK THE ROCKETS IN THE NUTS FOR TRADING HIM TO THE KINGS FOR MARTIN, AND, LIKE TIM TEBOW, ALL HE DOES IS WIN!!!!!!!Just FYI: Carl Landry - 11 PPG, 6 RPG, 23.2 MPG (AS A BACKUP!) Kenneth Faried - 11.5 PPG, 9 RPG, 28.1 MPG That's all that needs to be said. PS: I am doing this to personally attack you Denver, before you start your victimization shit, but trades like this need to be stopped even if I am the one doing the raping.

Well that's that. Only four available votes so two accepts means Kyrie Irving is a Nugget! Sad to see Kenneth Faried go, he's the last player to be traded from when I took over, my team is now completely different.

If this goes through I am willing to make a Bargs/Landry type deal if you are interested!
