Toronto wants young, cost controlled players. THJ and Green is too much for expiring Tobias. Do we get draft capital too? Both teams probably balk at taking on Holmes. Philly doesn’t really have young guys Toronto would want.
Philly can have more than max cap space in the summer. So, if Siakam wants to be there, they can just sign him in the summer. Toronto has a choice - get something at TDL or they get nothing in the summer. If Siakam wants to be in Philly, no team will offer good packages for a half a season rental. Especially not teams like Atlanta or Indy, who likely don't become contenders even with Siakam. I don't think Toronto can get more than expiring salary and protected pick for Siakam, if he wants to be in Philly.
Mavs would of course go after Harris only if they think they can resign him in the summer (can they do it earlier?). Expiring deal is worth more than contracts Mavs can offer, especially if we include Holmes. Dallas would need to compensate Toronto with assets to stimulate them to take Dallas contracts instead of expiring Harris. I doubt Green has much value, since we can all see his inconsistent play. He might not be a bad contract, but I also can't see him as a positive one.
