I accept

I will give explanation later and work on any TO years.

gotta go now.

This is basically Conley for Dragic and Bogut. Magic needs a really good explanation for this one.

[Jackie Moon]

The Pelicans accept.

Upgrade at Center while downgrading at PG. Makes sense highly for our team.

[Ian Noble]

Magic we chatted about this before, it doesn't make any sense for you at all, this destroys your team. You've essentially gone from Kyrie Irving and Andrew Bogut to Mike Conley with this deal. It's suicide.

[Magic Johnson]

The reason from my end was that I am upgrading from Dragic to Conley.

Plus I wanted to use the expiring contract of Dalembert potentially with few other players to get upgrades at other positions, or get a better star player.

[Alex English]

I was going to vote to reject this trade but it doesn't really matter since this deal doesn't work under the cap.

Pelicans salary: $16,281,002*1.25=$20,351,252.5
Lakers salary: $20,993,195
