2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[SleepingHero]

There is a Gallo to Toronto rumor for Dragic.  Don’t have time to do the math, but I’d propose amending your amendment by adding Toronto to the deal.

The issue to me is the KP/Sabonis fit.  But, Kings gonna Kings, so you never know

Gallo to TOR  for what I assume is Dragic to the Mavs, then some players need to be shuffled around and really does complicate the whole ordeal. 

TOR wanted Holmes so I can see them going for that. 

Does TOR have interest in KP? If so then instead of him going to SAC we route him to TOR. I assume Gallo is apart of that trade as they are getting off of Dragic. Thats 52 mil in incoming salaries alone right there for TOR which puts them so far ahead of the Lux tax. Taking Dragic's deal out, leaves them about 34 mil over the tax, which means Siakam almost has to be outgoing for it to make any sense. 

Now where would Siakam go in this? ATL? I can see them greatly interested in Siakam if they care about DFS/Barnes. 

So where we're at so far is 

ATL: Siakam 
Mavs: Collins+Dragic
TOR: KP+Gallo. 

Seems like TOR is really getting a short deal here. Further if Siakam could be had for just KP as a framework, why make this all complicated with ATL and just cut them out entirely? Mavs would need to shed another 3 mil for this supposed trade framework to go through. 

Salaries really do get in the way here for everything to make sense. The best I could come up with is

ATL: Siakam
Mavs: Collins+Dragic+Holmes
Kings: Boucher
Raps: KP+Gallo+DFS+M.Brown

Perhaps add in Huerter and send him to SAC? 

Overall it's too many players for it to be realistic.

But maybe there is some 3-team deal here between the Raps, Hawks, and Mavs where KP goes to TOR, Hawks get Siakam, and Mavs get Collins.
