Zach Lowe and MacMahon talked about the trade at length and not once was a pick being offered ever mentioned.
I'd suggest you go and listen to the Cato/Fischer podcast and see how they frame it. Fischer himself says that Toronto was asking for more than what Dallas felt comfortable offering.
Yes. Any reporting on Toronto plus a first came from Fischer's original report. If you listened to him at the time it was clear he was making a logical leap and not framing that as something he specifically heard was on the table. Fast forward and he's even less sure what was actually on the table from Toronto.
