Calling the Dragic talks an "impasse" implies that Dragic-to-Dallas is going to happen, with the details merely unresolved and stuck for a while.
That's a bit strong. They may already be down to haggling over details (the negotiating through the media seemed like that), but the longer it drags, the more likely it might never get beyond a proposal.
How long? If an agreement is going to happen, Fri morning at 11 am is a good milepost, when the league reopens and business starts being approved. The cap workarounds and deal alternatives begin to get fewer and harder after that point. In theory, a Dragic-Powell deal could still happen well on down the road, but if we don't see something in the next 36-48 hours, I'll consider it way less likely.
