Ha! Mavs were never offered that and would never have turned that down.

I did a little digging and there is definitely some smoke there (including a quote from Raptors GM Bobby Webster) but you may be right. Webster phrased as something they considered but the contract length put them off. Interesting to know that other teams, even teams with great FO, were looking closely at KP. I still wonder if we could’ve gotten it over the finish line somehow by adding some more value. Maybe not. Though they went and made that bizarre trade for Thad Young so they were definitely dangling that first round pick around. Tells me somethijg about what they think of this years draft class too. Obviously not valuing that late teens early 20’s pick very highly.

The Trade Package
Last night, reporters leaked that the Raptors were offering a package of Goran Dragic and a protected first round pick. Many fans have stated they would have preferred that package over what the trade ended up being.

Raptors NBA trade deadline fallout: Young more than a rental? Pro passing on Porzingis and what might have been with White

— I think the Raptors dodged a major bullet in not moving Dragic and a first (or Malachi Flynn) for Kristaps Porzingis.
