We'll take Brandan Wright for Dorsey and the Knicks second rounder to help Dallas and Boston get that deal done. Merge this with the Brewer acquisition. Dorsey/Jones/Johnson for Wright/Favereni/Brewer.
I think we have all been trained to expect nothing to happen. My guess is that we get Brewer and call it a day. If we get Dragic, can we please add Gerald Green as well. Kid lights it UP!!!
How about Brewer and Rondo now then flip Rondo at the deadline to Dallas for picks and Wright and send picks/Capella/Jones to PHX for Goran? Wind up with all Wright/Goran/Brewer....and still have the Pels pick and DMo. Works for me.
How about this?? (Granted, we would probably have to give Cash considerations or draft picks or a combination...) http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=qhzbed3
Lakers/Rockets/Celtics Trade Machine Round 234092384 1. Complete above trade 2. Use TPE and 2nd Rounder to get Brewer 3. Trade Swaggy P, Kpap, Pelicans' 1st Rounder to Phoenix for Dragic in February Dragic/Bev/Canaan Harden/Terry/Brewer Ariza/Green/Brewer Dmo/Green Howard/Dmo Spoiler
Well the Suns have pretty much no choice but to flip Dragic before the deadline or they lose him for nothing. I think the closer we get to the deadline, the less their leverage is going to be and the lower offers are going to get. How often do teams get legit quality when they are trading a player they are desperate to get rid of for something before they lose him for nothing? Also since he can walk at the end of the year, he'll have some say as to where he goes because teams won't want to be like LA giving up pieces for a rental of Howard. That lesson is probably well learned.
