    The AZCentral blog states "As for Brooks, the Suns already have Sebastian Telfair returning and could be doing one or two of the following things at that position – re-signing Steve Nash, drafting Marshall or signing a free agent point guard like well-traveled Raymond Felton or former Suns favorite Goran Dragic. The Suns have the cap space to sign Deron Williams but he seems bound for Dallas, his hometown, or a return to the Nets for their move to Brooklyn. The Suns’ re-engaged interest in Dragic after trading him for Brooks comes from the top. Dragic loved Phoenix, Coach Alvin Gentry and the training staff and is the only player to become close to Lopez. But being traded while on a team flight to Toronto has not been forgotten, although it did occur when he was playing his worst.

    * Dragic told The Sporting News he wants to be a starter, as he was in finishing the season strongly in Houston. Dragic told The Sporting News, “I learned a lot in Phoenix. I had a very good time there. I don’t know what is going to happen but that is an organization I know, obviously, and they helped me a lot."

    Be a starter on a team built to contend immediately, or be a starter on a team that has completely fallen to **** under the most miserly owner in the league.

    Your choice, Goran!

    Yeah, I'm not concerned about getting Goran to stay in Houston. It's pretty clear to me that he does want to stay, badly, as long as he has the starting gig. What I'm concerned about is what it will cost, and if we can afford him.

    I think that advantage only works in max salary scenarios.

    And lol, he got traded while flying to Toronto? Awkward.
