Well damn Lakers and Nets just loading up with ring chasers, crazy. Nets are picking up better guys imho, Lakers are getting ready for the NBA Legends oldies game at All Star weekend."We're playing in a building." -- Kawhi Leonard

List of player contracts sorted if you like:
https://www.basketball-reference.com...s/players.html
So if Dallas has an $11M TPE you can kind of look at guys in that range. We may not even care for a center.
But looking through that list some guys I'd love to have (that are realistically available) include: Larry Nance Jr, Thomas Bryant, Royce O'Neale, Seth Curry, Monte Morris, or Ivica Zubac

Also, there's just no need. Whatever player they manage to acquire from some other team, just roll that team into the trade with the Raptors and have them send that piece directly to the Raptors. No need to use a TPE at all.
It sounds like the Raps want Powell but Dallas doesn't want to give him up (which makes sense, his salary is basically required for matching). Not sure what value they plan to send to a third team so they'd have a salary to send to the Raps.
It is possible they could set up a trade so they send out salary to the third team to match a salary big enough to send to the Raps. In that case they need to structure it as separate deals. They need to have a contract worth at least $15.472M for that purpose. To match on the first trade, they'd need to send out $10.472M. So say they want to keep Powell, they trade Kleber and Burke ($11.9M) which would allow them to absorb a contract up to $16.9M. Presumably there would be something of value going to that third team (a 2nd maybe) since Burke as a 3M player option next year.
Unfortunately, there's not a single expiring contract in that salary range besides Aaron Gordon, who Denver will be keeping I think. Fultz from Orlando? Doubt the Magic want to move on from him after his improvement with them. Marcus Morris (yuck) and Davis Bertans are the only other contracts. Doubt the Wiz look to move Bertans.
I dunno. The rumour makes little sense. Hard to imagine them bending over backward to get a player of real value to trade for Dragic.

saints91 wrote: View Postlooking around, their aren't many 11M contracts out there. Either they rookie deals, or players we would have no interest in now.
Dwight Powell (8.3M) + TPE (10.8M) = 19.1M - is pretty much bang on Dragic' salary (19.4M). But I don't think you can combine it in trades.

Look the future of the Raptors is Fred/Siakam/OG/GTJ/Barnes/Flynn. Maybe one of the second rounders because Raptors turn those guys into players. That is a good collection of young talent. Internal development is key, so is having enough pieces to make moves. Team is getting there with both after transitioning out of a vet-heavy championship roster. This core is YOUNG. Any of those guys could be moved. Would be great to add Precious, another pick, and a return piece for Dragic to this squad. That's a lot of players! I don't totally understand the pessimism.
A lot of last year was Tampa + COIVD. Need this team to play at home. This will be a fun team this season and they have a ton of room to grow.
Still excited about Barnes. This guy will be fun."We're playing in a building." -- Kawhi Leonard

Not an expert on this stuff, but I don't think you need to use the full TPE. That's why I thought TT would work... assuming they actually wanted him.
