I accept. I originally acquired Monta Ellis merely with a view to moving him elsewhere because I prefer pure Point Guards running the point - I thought I would receive an elite point guard to replace him but despite the amount I shopped Ellis, TJ Ford seems the best I can do - not that I think him unworthy! Adding Portland's (currently projected mid-1st-round) draft pick balances the difference between TJ and Monta for me since, this off season, I will be unable to re-sign a lot of my benchers and there might be some enviable talent available, when Portland's pick comes, to fill a hole that might bloom into a future starter following the big-3 era. Unfortunately I lose one of my big-3, but I replace him with another guy I consider as his equal in Manu Ginobili. Manu isn't the pure shooter like Ray, but he is a great all around scorer and there's no reason he can't compliment Garnett and Pierce just as well.

[Golden State Warriors]

Why exactly is there a pick involved in this

[Indiana Pacers]

The pick's unneccesary.

[Boston Celtics]

I don't know why a mid-1st-round pick would unbalance this, but either way it doesn't matter because Portland's rightly told me that he traded that pick earlier in the year. We're working on re-formulating as of now.

[San Antonio Spurs]

I accept, Ill get a good big man who is great in sims, if he doesnt play good Ill have the choice to trade him for a C/PF..IMO a PF has higher values than a SG

[Boston Celtics]

I've changed the 2008 1st Rounder to a 2009 1st Rounder, per Portland's request.

[Portland Trailblazers]

I accept, The boozer/bosh experiment didnt work as well as planned so i need a scorer BIG TIME...and getting ray ray AND monta to complete the backcourt is incredible. Still have Bosh and now i can play millsap at PF to focus the frontcourt on only bosh now. I like the way my team is heading and hopefully this will take me out of the danger zone and into playoff contention

[Dallas Mavericks]

I'll accept this although I feel Portland is slightly overpaying.

[Los Angeles Clippers]

Accept

[Memphis Grizzlies]

The only thing stopping me from accepting this is the fact that we have no idea how Montae is going to come back from his accident. Is a question mark like him really worth a healthy (yet injury-prone) Ford and a 1st rounder I view Allen and Manu as a near wash.

[Boston Celtics]

Isn't Ford a question mark too, like Ellis I don't think this trade is so close to call.

Anyway, we need some decisiveness from Memphis and Indiana on this deal thankyouprease!

[Memphis Grizzlies]

I acceptz.

[San Antonio Spurs]

so is this accepted

[Memphis Grizzlies]

Looks like it since LAC, DAL, and yours truly accepted it.

[Indiana Pacers]

I'll accept it, because I think they both are getting decent value.

[Boston Celtics]

Finalised. Update your team info.
