Lot of wishful thinking RE: Dragic. If the positions were flipped, no way would we want to trade him for Powell and other garbage: negative value player(s) with two years remaining on their contract.
Worst case you hold on to Dragic until the deadline and get a couple of 2nd round picks.
I haven't really seen a reasonable argument for why TOR would do that trade other than Dragic would prefer to be in Dallas. Toronto would be in a worse position after the trade than they are right now.
Hopefully Duffy comes through and works out a middle ground where we send a future 2nd and/or Terry instead of a future 1st or Josh Green.
edit: If I'm Toronto, I'd rather release/buy out Dragic for nothing rather than take back Powell. Masai doesn't seem like the guy to release an asset for nothing unless he really wants to owe Duffy a favor.
