2021 FREE AGENCY: Markkanen wants out of CHI | DAL "definitely interested"

I trust that this is what Stein is being told. Today. (But not yesterday, of course.)

I don't believe it accurately reflects what anyone was trying to do, nor what they are thinking going forward.

It implies TOR just had no desire to let go of Dragic, and is completely committed to him. BS.

It implies DAL made super-strong offers in terms of value, and TOR wouldn't even listen. BS.

It gives no indication that Dragic/Duffy had any role in any of the outcome. BS.

This is about the 10th or 15th different "version" of the situation, depending on whose side is talking, who in the media they are talking to, and what day of the week it is. That's way too many truths to think we are ever hearing anything that's without an agenda. Including now.

That's not to say that we'll ever see Dragic in Dallas this season. Whether that eventually happens or not, who knows.

I know this much - there is a deal here waiting to be made where each can gain a little something if they all work together to compromise and give up something. But there may be too many sides all looking for someone else to do the giving, while they get what they want.
