Goran Dragic likely heading to Dallas?

What’s the buzz on Twitter?

Chris Haynes @ChrisBHaynes
Upon completion of an expected buyout between Goran Dragic and the San Antonio Spurs, the Dallas Mavericks will be the favorites to add the veteran point guard, league sources tell @YahooSports. – 12:03 PM
Shams Charania @ShamsCharania
Sources: Full Spurs-Raptors deal:
Raptors: Thad Young, Drew Eubanks, 2022 Pistons second-rounder
Spurs: Goran Dragic, Toronto 2022 first-rounder (protected 1-14, protected 1-13 in 2023, turning into future seconds) – 12:02 PM
Mark Deeks @MarkDeeksNBA
Spurs traded away Goran Dragic for Tadija Dragicevic in 2007, traded Thaddeus Young to get him back 15 years later, and then immediately bought him out. Mixed messages. – 12:02 PM
Jake Fischer @JakeLFischer
Goran Dragic and Donte DiVincenzo had been two of the most-discussed names on the trade market. We’ll be breaking down all the deals that did and did not happen with @Michael Scotto on @thehalftimeapp from 4-5ET. Download to listen here: thehalftime.app12:00 PM
Aaron Rose @AaronBenRose
The Goran Dragic for Thad Young trade makes me feel: – 11:59 AM
Paul Garcia @PaulGarciaNBA
Interested to see what draft compensation the Spurs are getting for Dragic – 11:58 AM

NBA trade deadline Heat updates: Thunder may not keep KZ Okpala; Dragic could become available to Heat after Spurs deal. sun-sentinel.com/sports/miami-h…11:58 AM
Adrian Wojnarowski @wojespn
ESPN Sources: The Spurs — who are trading for Toronto’s Goran Dragic — are expected to negotiate a contract buyout with Dragic. Among the interested expected to be interested once he becomes a free agent: Dallas, Milwaukee, Chicago, Clippers. – 11:57 AM
Mike Lynch @SportInfo247
Thad for Dragic is the 1st time in NBA history 2 lefties with over 12K career points have been swapped #madeupstat11:54 AM
Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
That Dragic-Young deal seems weird. – 11:54 AM
Emiliano Carchia @Sportando
Raptors trade Dragic to Spurs for Young sportando.basketball/en/raptors-tra…11:53 AM
Michael Grange @michaelgrange
I can confirm Goran Dragic being traded to Spurs for Thad Young (@Shams Charania first). I presume there will be other pieces given salary disparity. – 11:53 AM
Brady Hawk @BradyHawk305
Goran Dragic to the Spurs screams buyout
But Thad Young going to Toronto feels like it eliminates that buyout option for Miami – 11:52 AM
Vivek Jacob @vivekmjacob
Thad Young will bring solid defence across a couple positions, playmaking, and a veteran presence in the locker room. Has a good relationship with OG Anunoby as well. He’ll represent a good return for Dragic imo. – 11:52 AM
Michael Dugat @mdug
Funniest ending: Dragic gets bought out and signs somewhere else. Lakers would be the funniest, just because. – 11:51 AM
TJ McBride @TJMcBrideNBA
I love Masai flipping Dragic for Thad Young; another versatile wing who can help on offense and defend multiple positions. Toronto is going to be a handful in the playoffs. – 11:50 AM
Jon Hamm @JonMHamm
“Pop, we have a chance to trade for Goran Dragic 14 years after selling the pick that would have drafted him” pic.twitter.com/S7KNlmf9qx11:49 AM
Dan Favale @danfavale
veeeery curious to see what a kristaps-to-toronto deal would look like given how close the raptors are to the tax.
is it dragic-boucher-khem? and is dallas getting a pick? or is this a straight salary slashing in advance of free agency for jalen and dfs? – 11:21 AM

How have you felt about the Goran Dragic situation? – 9:38 AM

Michael Scotto @MikeAScotto
Sources: Lakers, Knicks and Raptors discussed a 3-team trade with Cam Reddish and Alec Burks going to Lakers, Goran Dragic and picks to Knicks, Talen Horton-Tucker and Nerlens Noel to Raptors.
More on where talks stand and Kendrick Nunn in the story.

Michael Scotto @MikeAScotto
Sources: The Lakers, Knicks and Raptors have discussed a 3-team trade.
Lakers get Cam Reddish and Alec Burks.
Knicks get Goran Dragic and draft picks.
Raptors get Talen Horton-Tucker and Nerlens Noel.
There’s also a chance Kendrick Nunn is added to the trade as talks continue – 2:30 AM
Jake Fischer @JakeLFischer
Toronto appeared quite active in trade conversations Wednesday night. Various Goran Dragic scenarios. Bigs. Lakers and Raptors have discussed Talen Horton-Tucker, sources said, but any notion that deal is serious has been miscategorized by @Marc Stein and my listeners. – 1:26 AM

More on this storyline

Shams Charania: The Toronto Raptors are trading Goran Dragic to the San Antonio Spurs for Thaddeus Young, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. -via Twitter @ShamsCharania / February 10, 2022
Jake Fischer: Word first started making the rounds last night, and discussion of a framework where Kristaps Porzingis potentially heads to Toronto has since circulated around NBA front offices. There’s of course mutual interest in bringing Goran Dragic to Dallas. Unclear how serious talks are. -via Twitter @JakeLFischer / February 10, 2022
The Los Angeles Lakers have been aggressive in their pursuit of Cam Reddish as the trade deadline approaches, and members of the Knicks organization have been doing their due diligence on Goran Dragic as the teams talk about potential trades, per SNY sources. One deal that had been discussed leading up to Thursday was a three-team trade involving Nerlens Noel and Talen Horton-Tucker to the Toronto Raptors, Reddish and Alec Burks to Los Angeles, and Dragic and draft compensation to New York, SNY sources confirm. -via SportsNet New York / February 10, 2022
