TOR: Poeltl + Barrett or Quickley + 2 FRP --> Starting center + $30M youngish player (25 or 26) + 2 picks
The TOR deal is interesting if you think about it like a 3-team deal involving Gafford for expirings + FRP.
Dallas would essentially swap their starting center (Gafford) for Poeltl + FRP. Gafford and Poeltl make close to the same money next year; and in '27-'28 Poeltl will make about $10M more than Gaff; and Poeltl's last year is only guaranteed $5M when Gaff is guaranteed $19M. So Dallas would end up saving money if they waive Poeltl in '28-'29. Or they could keep him if he's playing well. Also keep in mind Barrett is exporing next year if you don't like him. The total deal would look like
TOR: Poeltl + Barrett + 2 FRP for AD
Mystery team: expiring + FRP for Gafford
DAL: AD + Gafford for Poeltl + Barrett + 3 FRP --> $14.4M expiring + $30M expiring next year + 3 FRP
