Trade Match could be done already even if it included Moses because of the Chicago TPE allowing it to be done on a non-aggregated basis (unless you believe LM wants more than 3/$44). A straight TPE single team trade with Chicago-only could similarly be done already.
There is a TPE version that involves getting Dragic and LM with the outgoing salary matching Dragic and being split between Tor/Chi. If Moses is needed for matching outgoing salary, then the deal has to wait.
One of Powell or Maxi has to be outgoing in any scenario (outgoing big).
The other mix and match options are WCS/Moses/Green/Terry/Burke. I agree Chicago needs more size and we have too much of it (especially if LM is added). There have been plenty of trade ideas posted that solve that issue.
What's your thought on the NBA investigation possibly holding some things up?
It just feels to me like CHI might not want to make any deals until they know their penalty. At least if I were them I sure wouldn't move a muscle until I know what the deck I am working with looks like.
