One important thing here - we are speaking about unprotected firsts. I am not sure anyone gave up an unprotected pick to dump salary. So in this light, I think the compensation for SA is more than fair - I agree two firsts are probably too strong offer. At best they can be looking at two protected picks for Poeltl on the market, perhaps even less. On the other hand, one unprotected is probably light. So perhaps the teams could meet in the middle. Perhaps Toronto sends something protected to SA and Dallas sends one pick, while Toronto receives two unprotected picks. Or instead Dallas sends 1 pick and 2 SRP to SA with 2 unprotected picks to Toronto. The key man here is Siakam. If he doesn't want to stay in Toronto or resign with a long term rebuilding team like SA, than Dallas has a chance.
