The reality is that the current state is Dragic is $19M in "sunk cost" to TOR, the price they paid for Precious and a 2nd, and they don't have a particular desire to have him on their roster.
*TOR would ideally replace him with 19M or less in players they do want. Or at least find a way to reduce their wasted outlay from 19M to a (much) smaller number.
*Dragic doesn't really want to be there. He would ideally get his 19M from TOR, and then get to pick a team of his choosing and a new deal.
*Dallas would like to have him, but would ideally prefer not to have to pay (in salary or assets) to get him.
It's unlikely that any of the 3 will get everything they want. But they are all going to try to get as close as possible to their best outcome - which means they are trying to get others to settle for less than they want.
