All along, the Dragic outcome has been a 3-sided negotiation, with much of it being done via the media.
The negotiating is on two possibilities. One is over a trade, and what it takes. Another is about a buyout, and who gives up what.
None of that has changed.
If you believe the public pronouncements that TOR is committed to keeping Dragic, and their assertions that he's thrilled to be a Raptor, you're simply buying the PR spin from one party in the negotiations. If you think this has ever been over, you're missing the full picture.
Nothing guarantees he lands in Dallas, but until he's off the Raptors, this isn't over at any point. And deals with this much interest and momentum tend to eventually find a solution and get done.
If I'm looking at potential ways this can resolve, my "best" current guess is that it's headed to a buyout, and they are still wrestling over how much each party is giving up.
