Possible reasons for the Lowry S&T hold up (Powell, WCS from DAL for Dragic)

[OhCanada1091]

This is stupid. Mavs have a 10.5 mil trade exception.

[Lord_Zedd]

Would much rather have Miami sweeten the pot than be saddled with Powell's extra year in his contract.

Always found Dallas infatuation with Powell very strange since he isn't that good on the defensive end, yet always manages to get paid well by them.

[Skeezo]

Just waiting for our return for doing Lowry & the Heat a favour is to grab Precious, WCS & Powell's 2yrs @ 11m... I'm trying to envision the mental gymnastics some members will do to continue to excuse the recent fumblings of the front office.

Not to mention Powell isn't that good and 30.
I'd rather just run with Precious and watch him develope

[Rebel INS]

You all need to relax. Dragon is not a negative contract or a negative player. We’ll get something for him.

He was a productive player for Miami when he was available. Problem is that he's had availability problems and he's consistently missing 20+ games a year in his mid 30s

Fine...you've twisted my arm enough, Dallas...I'll give you Dragic and Boucher for Porzingis and a 1st round pick. Are we good?

Please be Moses Brown 7"2 athletic center

Dallas euhh I mean Mark Cuban: "Toronto, we have a deal if you include your mop girl"

[Appostis]

If they don't want to give up some solid assets, don't trade Dragic.

He's a solid PG on a expiring. Trade deadline value

You'd think that this would had to be ironed out PRIOR the Mother F S&T deal! Like are you suggesting that we didn't have a deal in place to flip Dragic before agreeing to the S&T ??? This is total BS!

Person on Reddit who claimed to know the inside scoop said that the deal was they had until Thursday to gauge what the return is for Dragic.

So as it stands:

Dragic+Precious+2nd rounder, with the premise being to shop Dragic . If there is no takers, this person said Miami would up the offer. Whether that be upgrade to a 1st or KZ Okpala.

Makes sense and I'm okay with it.

We’ve literally said that here. Draft compensation will depend on whether Dragic is moved.

[SFour]

just give us Moses Brown and we're good to go

[Bruin]

I really don’t like Powell or WCS. Hope we get something else instead

From what I understand:
- TOR trade Dragic to DAL for one of Powerll/WCS and filler
- TOR keeps Dragic and but gets Okpala + filler along with Achiuwa + 2nd for taking on Dragic's contract.

Sounds like things were planned out from TOR's perspective.

I think Toronto gets Achiuwa, Powell and WCS.

[DelAbbot]

This S&T holdup is like Masai's contract negotiations.

That's terrible just keep Dragic and force more from the heat

Yeah, this makes a lot of sense.

I guess what I’m saying is Toronto gets Achiuwa regardless.

[Dyehardrapsfan]

Why are the raptors accepting players we don’t need. We don’t need Dragic and if we can’t trade him for cap space then no S&T. This isn’t a charity we should be trying to be competitive

[Merit]

Okay I know we’re half joking, but I would be interested in moving Boucher and Dragic and getting back Porzingis and draft compensation.

[Dennis 37]

I don’t want WCS, have you seen his face?

Is it stank?
