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 or a seriously overpaid 35-year old is not "find a properly paid player we want" 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.
I might be wrong, but I took it imply that they might be negotiating to get Terry (or something) WITH Powell. You don't pay any credence to that?
