Let's assume for a moment that Powell/Moses/whatever for Dragic was the plan all along, and Dallas dealt JRich for Moses before FA started with that specific deal in mind. In that situation, both Dallas and Toronto would have a vested interest in feigning a prolonged negotiation through the press to avoid getting roped into the Miami/Lowry investigation. Arranging a trade that depends on a S&T that can't be legally agreed to yet is a gray area I'm sure they'd like to avoid wading into.
