Who knows what evil loopholes lurk in the heart of the CBA? Shadow Morey knows! I hate this part of the off-season, but I love how so many have come to debate Houston's team/player options. Feels great being in position to have so many impressive options/scenarios at hand. A lot of people have come together and worked incredibly hard to get us to this point. Rest assured Dork Elvis is going to pull off something truly mind-blowing no matter how this all plays out. Saying 3 in 15! Some GMs operate in the dark. Daryl Morey is the dark.

^^i wonder if that tweet means they're willing to give up those assets or if he's just listing what they have to offer... I can't believe they'd trade Dragic after he picked them, but if they do, I wonder if Morey will go after him?
Dragic is FA like Love in 2015. MIN wont want him unless he is assured to return. That said, the bidding is getting hot. This can only mean one thing for Morley.
Yeah, he's just stating their interest and listing their best assets. I don't think they'd give either of the guards up. Bledsoe would have to agree with the s&t and he can't be traded with any other assets in that case. Dragic is in the last year of his contract, and minny would be essentially in the same situation as it is with Love - Dragic wants to compete and would bolt at the end of the year.
The suns would be too weak to compete for a chip if they gut the team and trade all the picks for Love.
If they can pair Love with Bledsoe and Dragic, giving up all of their picks, they're a good defesive center away from competing. It's certainly a good starting point.
How odd. Bucher has his strongest connections in GS and CHI and magically he thinks they will go there. He hates the Lakers and Rockets because they will give him NO information.
The tweet says they're prepared to give up Bledsoe & Dragic & picks. Talk about the dumbest thing I've ever seen. That would be a worse team than Love had in Minny.
After what happened with Dwight I doubt a trade happens unless some team out there is desperate for quite possibly a one year rental.

No surprise here. I was sure of that when I became aware of the number of picks that the Celtics have to offer. Add in that the Suns can offer Bledsoe and we're toast. Looks like it's all in for Melo or Chris Bosh (if we're lucky).
