Grizzlies accept. Definitely not getting FPPG value on this trade but this is all about the cap situation and a long-term piece in Mathurin for me. With Haliburton and Sabonis (probable maxes) re-signs due this off-season and Jaden McDaniels an RFA I was in a bit of a situation, this opens up a ton of room and roster construction possibilities not just this year, but next year too with Jalen Johnson RFA. I also think Mathurin is a bit undervalued by the league, I love him as the point of attack sixth man for the Pacers. JRich is a nice cheap depth option and Lofton I'm just hoping will make the Bulls team and maybe get some run when they're terrible.
Thanks Warriors for the patience and smooth talks.

Warriors accept. Flipping Mathurin for some proven (but expensive) production just made too much sense. Back to about the same spot I was cap wise as before the draft but hopefully with a slightly higher floor. Good talks with the Grizz!
