I accept, welcome back Jonas   I really did not want to give up Ennis, i traded a lot of future assets to get him but i rather have Jonas out of all of them. Jonas is the starting center for the raps and is due for a breakout season. Right now my youth movement is pretty good - Jonas - Kelly - KCP. I plan to hopefully trade Kelly for a PG, if there is a right deal. I have about 4 million in cap space to land Jonas since Ennis and Mitch do not count towards the cap as yet. |

I accept. I'm not gonna front.. Giving up Jonas is hard, but I think we get back potential to make up for it. I have a ton of risk guys on this team, so it isn't too big of a deal. I can see how trading one of my best guys for two rookies is dangerous, but I like this for us since we aren't going to win soon and I think it actually saves us a bit of cap space going forward. We will likely start Plum at the Center position next season. I think Ennis is a great guy and a solid fit in the rotation, and Mitch has solid potential if his health doesn't act up. We wish Bryan and Jonas the best of luck moving forward, 'twas good trading with you!  |

Sorry Brian, I'm going to have to reject this. Jonas is the most valuable asset on the Magic and is worth way more than both Ennis and McGary who have never played a game. He is one of the top young centers in the league and has a great chance at becoming an All-Star. Also Blake did this once before trading me Paul George for a pick that ended up being MKG. That probably set his team back years.

I didn't expect you to accept Alex  with us being raps fan, we see Jonas in a whole different way but i get your reasoning. But with everyone saying this draft is deep with talent I can see why Blake wants to take the risk. His team is already rebuilding, and he clearly he rather have Mason start over Jonas plus add two 1st rounders in this year draft. I cant see how this deal is horrible/ rip off for Blake. I get that Jonas is his "best player" per say on magic team, but Jonas is still young and still a project himself. He had a great season this year but it was nothing spectacular. |

I didn't expect Alex to accept either. I think it also gives me flexibility to move more pieces to smooth things out.

Wow, this is arguably Blake's most promising player along with Trey Burke! You must like Ennis!

I've actually gotta reject this one too fellas.
In my opinion, Ennis and McGary are not enough for Jonas. We're talking the 18th and 21st picks IRL for a guy who was a top 5 pick in Jonas a couple years ago. And, Jonas is proven to be at least a solid real-life player, while these two guys could be career bench players.
There are a lot of ifs and coulds and maybes in a trade like this, but that's just how it is.
It looks and feels like a bad trade to me, so...
Reject.
