We accept. Our roster is like 90% big men so this helps us get rid of two of them. While we love Tristan and his game, we feel confident that our young guys can blossom into solid players at that position. In the meanwhile, we also get to cut a lot of salary and acquire some picks, which will help us down the road.

Weren't you just yelling at everyone because they were voting and putting in opinions on trades before both sides had accepted? Yet here you are doing that exact same thing? What the hell man? |

I'm just doing what the rest do. We have argued about this for years with no change. So if others continue to do it I will as well.

I accept, I had too many 2nd anyways I can sign minimum players on roster.
it's a small price to pay for probably the best contract in the league with Tristan Thompson but I was not hitting home runs and striking out in free agency so hopefully in trades I can hit home-run.
BTW
Kemba, Kobe, Barnes, TT and Vucevic
with Oubre Russ Smith and Hill coming off the bench isn't too bad at all.

I'll accept. I know Magic is not going to rebuild especially if his pick is missing so this will just be more motivation for him to keep his team competitive.
Very worst case for this trade is Magic basically using his 2019 pick on Tristan Thompson since he'll still be under contract then.

I'm surprised Magic wants to do this, but I accept.
