The idea that TOR doesn't want Powell in a trade for Dragic is possible, but the idea that they want Terry instead is fairly stupid. That is miles from being an acceptable salary match.
The fact is, for TOR to get out from under Dragic and his overpay, they (or someone) will have to take on some salary that is also somewhat bloated. Their alternative for a seriously overpaid 35-year old is not "find a properly paid player we want" (because no one is going to make them an offer like that) but rather keep him on your roster, or waive him. Or kill the Lowry deal.
Powell would be of use to them, and he's popular in Canada also. It's more likely, imo, that they are wrestling over the rest of such a 3-way deal, and/or who goes where, rather than being bothered by DP.
