    I expect PHX to do the same thing Boston did with Dallas.....use another team (Houston) to drive up the value of Dragic. The question is who is that team?

    I'm pretty sure Dragic will be in Houston by the trade deadline. It's one of those things you can see from a mile away.

    the main difference between dragic and rondo is is dragic isn't eligible for a contract extension.

    lower trade value which might make it harder for the suns to deal him.

    Don't think that matters. Neither would accept an extension offer.

    I'm actually a little curious to see what Dragic does with that PO. There's a chance he actually stays under contract in order to get in on the projected lucrative 2016 free agency.

    If that happens, the Rockets can beat anybody, any time, any place. They would be a very tough out. Imagine Goran starting and Bev coming off the bench. Brutal.

    PHX will be wanting a big man. Are you willing to give up DMo or Papa to get Gogi?

    If TJones had not been injured, we could trade him. But his injury has limited the assets we can give PHX. Unless PHX is satisfied with the NOP pick, numerous 2nd round picks, someone like Terry, who else?

    We may have to wait for his PO this summer.

    I think it's very realistic that we acquire Dragon as a free agent this Offseason...Especially if the Suns miss the playoffs for the 2nd straight year

    The Suns aren't making the playoffs this year, probably not next year either.

    The West is too damn strong. Besides, I think the Pelicans are a better team than them, and the Kings (with a healthy Boogie) may be as well.

    They need to make some pretty drastic changes to their roster..IMO - and hope that they get the Lakers' first round pick.

    Just fits so perfectly on this team. Imagine that Harden and Howard take a breather at the same time. That would be unthinkable right now, but WITH DRAGIC....

    Beverley
    Dragic
    Papanikolaou
    Black
    DMo

    Finally......a good 2nd unit.

    True, it would take a miracle for them to take the 8th spot from OKC or even Sac Town or NOLA...They really botched their situation...Signing Thomas and paying Bledsoe May just lose them an All-NBA talent

    OKC is coming up. Pels and Suns are goners in the playoffs race.

    he could easily take a 1 year deal that pays him more than 7.5

    He should just unfollow and follow the Rockets every day from now on.

    Dragic became an All-NBA player running a fast break offense. Could be why Morey is seemingly so interested in acquiring Brewer making a second unit consisting of Canaan/Dragic/Brewer/Pap/DMo that can simulate what Dragic had in Phoenix last season.

    Not a single player from that song is still a Rocket. Morey is a wizard.
