2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[cow]

It's all assumptions on the Toronto side.  Rumors leaked it was KP + Pick (let's throw in Boucher for salary matching purposes) and that Dallas wanted "a lot more" and also Toronto "pulled out of the trade".  Both Dragic and Boucher are expiring contracts.  I'm assuming you could resign one or both and continue to operate over the cap.  We also heard that draft compensation from Toronto was a first round pick.  That's where I get skeptical unless it was highly, highly protected.  Toronto owns all their future firsts and no others.  And the reason I'm skeptical is it's also been reported that the Wizards deal was the only one on the table.  So would you rather have:

-Dragic + Boucher + FRP.  Both expiring.
-Dinwiddie + Bertans while giving up a SRP.  SD coming off an ACL injury and DB on a long unfavorable contract.  Both seemingly not fitting in with WAS.

The choice to me seems obvious which is why I doubt the validity.
