He signed a 3 year deal with Chicago at 26 million per season... so, in order to take on that salary, Dragic's contract would've been going the other way in a sign-n-trade
I would've been okay with DeRozan for the next 3 seasons...
As for the small ball...
I don't think guys like Birch and Achiuwa are going to work "come playoff time", so I'm not sure what the issue is...
It's not as though the Raptors were legit contenders, and I'm suggesting they should've sacrificed that chance to contend to bring back DeRozan
