You guys that keep ignoring that the salary ballast was needed FROM Toronto, not from Dallas. When I put it in the trade machine, it said I needed $7.4M more in salary and their guys go from Gary Trent Jr at $16M to Barnes at $7.2M, that means the ballast is either 2 players at a lesser salary or one of their higher contributing players.
I have to admit that I think the likelihood of anyone paying a 1st for Porzingis is pretty low, to the point where I think there must have been a point of contention that we're missing today. If Brunson's inclusion was what justified the 1st's inclusion, I think they were right to turn that down. That seems likely to me.
