This is the way I see it, too.
IF these two teams are really talking, and IF this is really what they're talking about, I assume it's sort of "you guys wanted him, and it turns out we shouldn't have" type of stuff. That isn't necessarily a slight on Thybulle, btw, it's just that Portland might have realized they're farther away from contention than they believed a year ago. Turning that contract into Hardaway and getting it off of their books might be enticing for any number of reasons.
We're all just speculating. It's clear I'm on the low end of the Thybulle excitement spectrum around here, but even factoring that in I think including a first round pick for him, given how few Dallas has available, would be pretty irresponsible.
