Marc Stein: Dallas’ roster needs changed post-trade and altered the long-held expectation they would pursue Goran Dragic in the buyout market. As I reported earlier, Dragic’s expected buyout may not happen quickly and he is projected to draw interest from teams with a larger role to offer.

Nico Harrison says he believes the roster is set. That’s a strong indication the Mavericks won’t pursue Dragic in the buyout market. Harrison’s response was to a question about the buyout market, so there you have it. – 11:19 PM

Once today’s deals are official, the Spurs will be $14.7 million over the cap this season and $9.4 million from the luxury tax.
Once Dragic is waived, the team will have an open roster spot. – 5:53 PM

Now that we’ve hit 3pm I think the Raptors trade was just fine. Raps canvassed the league for what their assets could buy and this is what they could buy. In my eyes that’s better than not doing the trade and buying Dragic out. – 3:02 PM

Didn’t expect the Raptors to give up this year’s 1st round pick (top 14 protected) to move Goran Dragic deal. Interesting … Not sure if that says a lot about Thad Young or pessimism about the depth of the 2022 draft.
It’s currently projected as the 19th pick. – 12:23 PM

Raptors get, by all accounts, a high character veteran who can make a shot; a free look at Eubanks and don’t eat into a cent of future financial flexibility
For an organization that very much likes its core, seems a pretty good return for Dragic’s contract. – 12:09 PM

More on this storyline
While there are some hurdles in the way of Dragic potentially returning to the Heat, it certainly sounds like Miami is where the 35-year-old wants to be. “Don’t kid yourself, Goran Dragic would love nothing more,” wrote Ira Winderman of the Sun Sentinel regarding a possible Dragic reunion with Miami. “He attended the Heat’s Tuesday victory over the [Washington] Wizards at FTX Arena and has been working out there, as his situation with the Raptors is sorted out. But, again, unless Goran goes to another team in the interim, he cannot be brought directly back by the Heat from the Raptors. With all due respect to Mario Chalmers, Goran is exactly what the Heat could use at the moment. But I doubt many, if any, have had second thoughts about utilizing his salary as the means to acquire Kyle Lowry.” -via Heat Nation / January 1, 2022
