But if 10/1 is the date and camp opens on 9/28, that feels problematic (though not impossible) for a direct deal between Dallas and Toronto. Keeping Chicago and LM waiting too seems even less likely. I think Hollinger probably has this right. It is Powell, Moses and someone making over $1.56mm. Unfortunately, Terry doesn't make enough.
Dragic is negative equity at $19mm for one year. Powell is also, but the money is more palatable split over two years. The rest is just window dressing as I don't see Dallas giving up value in the form of Green or a pick for Dragic.
I agree it makes little sense to wait till October. So if Moses is really the one piece Toronto wants, I would do it as two separate trades. For example Powell, Burke, Terry and a couple of second rounders for Dragic. Moses for deep bench Toronto guy in a separate deal. Watanabe if I can pick one.
