I'll post a link when official, but ESPN is reporting it's real. Minnie gets Charlotte's future first round pick (protected for top 12 in 2010).

I believe we just stole Ty Lawson from the Jazz and the Hornets who wanted a PG and probably Lawson. I feel pretty great about this pick, of all the draft prospects Lawson seems very much ready to go right away. What's funny is last year, there were rumors the Nuggets made a promise to Ty Lawson with #20. When he went back to school, they traded the pick to Charlotte, only to eventually turn that pick back into Lawson a year later. Fuck yes.
