Minnesota sends: Joe Johnson($18,038,573) + Trey Thompkins($535,000) + Armon Johnson($762,195) = $19,335,768
Utah sends: Trevor Ariza($6,790,640) + Chuck Hayes($5,250,000) + Iman Shumpert($1,563,120) + Earl Watson($2,000,000) = $15,603,760 x 1.25 = $19,504,700
Utah will also send $2m in cash.
Minnesota accepts. Shopped JJ for awhile and most deals had us having to take back a bad contract. This deal has us taking back Ariza and Hayes as 2 good defensive roleplayers that have played under Rick Adleman before, while getting a young/talented guard in Shumpert. The cash will help to buyout Earl Watson if needed. Nice dealing Utah.
Utah accepts. I felt that we needed to address our sg/sf positions and JJ helps with that. He is constant all-star that can play pg/sg/sf.
