It's the same old saying: he doesn't want to let Roger go, but if Roger insists on leaving, he can now come to terms with it.

He is full of confidence in Roger's trade value and believes he can obtain a young core player. Then, by shedding a large contract, he can spend a few years turning the Magic into a championship-contending team that doesn't have to pay the luxury tax.

The Mavericks experienced it in 2011.
