I wonder if the Timberwolves could get involved. Offer to take on Dragic's salary and as incentive, get Boucher back. They have some lesser contracts they could send either way for depth/salary matching purposes and in the process fill two needs at backup PG and a rim protecting, stretch big.

why is the raptors paying extra? that makes no sense. We might as well let lowry walk then. Also what salary is the wolves even sending out?

Friend of Luka, great dude. Production per minute off the charts. Why not? But if they are picking up WCS option as reported yesterday and have KP and added Brown and still have Powell that's a ton of centers.

I dont think you'd need assets to dump Dragic in a potential 3 team deal. That said, if assets were needed, they would certainly come from the Heat and not the Raps. Raps are helping facilitate Lowry to Miami, theyre not gonna pay for that pleasure

I mean you could, but if you facilitate a S&T with the Heat, you'll get some assets back in exchange for just letting him walk for nothing. This is all under the assumption that the Raptors don't want to take back on Dragic's large salary

Dallas and Indy are cornering the market on centers. Pretty soon we can argue that someone like Brown or Goga isn't anything special, but the only other options are guys like Drummond.

Im not sure what kind of assets the Heat are gonna be willing to give up to make it worth it to use Boucher to dump Dragic.

Dear Lord the board narratives that are dying hard this off-season. :D

This was a guy I wanted Dallas to buy low on in the Rick Carlisle days so now I want Indy too. I am convinced there is real talent there that the right coach can bring out.

Heck OKC has a bajillion dollars to spend I'd like to see them take a shot on him.

Shams has Dallas officially picking up WCS. I assume this is to have a matching salary knowing $4M can be dumped if need be. He's useful as a backup center, but I don't have him worth $4.1M considering what can be found for a min contract at center every year.

We don't have the money more than likely but would fit our seemingly yearly pursuit of streaky scoring from a bench guard.

Stein now also reporting that the Heat want Derozan and Lowry. I'm assuming this requires a team paying Dipo since they dumped Iggy?

Shams says the Mavericks *do* pick up Cauley-Stein's option.

Monk is now an unrestricted free agent and anyone who needs a SG would be crazy to not go after him. Ton of a upside with him, can drive at will.
