But both try to extract something that just isn´t there and will do a trade they shouldn´t to save face later.
I don't agree for Toronto. They can always wait till TDL and dump him for close to nothing than. In the meanwhile they can explore trades - they can trade him for worse contract and assets, they can include him in a trade for a star with bunch of picks included. All of this is easier to do with Dragic than with Powell (or nothing).
I could agree for Markkanen from Chicago perspective, but New Orleans has a 17 million TPE. So Markkanen might be more inclined to sign with them for more money.
