    Granted that the Suns got Thomas because they weren't sure they could keep Bledsoe. But Bledsoe was retained. They should have kept Thomas on the bench. They wanted to keep Goran; heck they even signed his brother Zoran.

    Suns' coach Hornacek committed a huge blunder by playing Goran out of position at the 3 when he uses that 3-guard rotation, thereby lowering all his stats and pissing him off. He's for sure gone by next year. Might as well trade him to us since we're former trading partners.

    Beauty is in the eye if the beholder lol, but there are only 2 rocket players that I know won't get traded at the deadline and both there last names start worth an H. Saying DMO is untradable is a stretch.

    How do you not know what to say?

    DMo is averaging 12 and 6 as a starter, 52% from the field, 30.7% from downtown.

    It's not like we have anyone else on the roster who could better those numbers in their first year as a starting PF....
    [[12.7ppg 7.3rpg, 54.5% from the field, 30.7% from downtown, less TOs, more agile, 2 years younger]]

    Motiejunas brings size which Jones will never be able to do, he also brings solid D and a skilled post game which Jones is also currently lacking. Jones is more agile and explosive for sure bur what Dmo brings is just a completely different feel even though there #'s are identical.

    I think Suns fans are really overrating how much they would get for Dragic.

    Certainly would get more than what Celts got for Rondo, but Dragic is a FA at the end of the season which will affect the offers they get

    If we are trading for Dragic, it's time to go "all in" and load this team up with snipers from deep. I'd like to see us trade for Ryan Anderson and move Canaan to backup PG. That would finally give us the quality shooters we need to keep the floor properly spaced for Harden, Dragic, and Howard to do damage.

    That said, we may be more concerned with protecting the paint if we have to keep Howard's minutes down.

    I wouldn't be overpaying for 3-4 months of Dragic. Not unless we get a guarantee he is resigning at a reasonable rate. Let's see what Morey will do.

    Suns are desperate for some size. If you think those chumps are going to try to ask for a great player like tjones morey will laugh in their face. Were helping them out more in this trade and they will be forced to take anything.
    Papa + Shved + NOP pick for Dragic.

    Without a doubt thats going to be the trade, 100%. Quote me.

    It does make sense. Do we unload one of our best players with loads of potential for a player we can "get for free"?

    The pels pick plus a 2nd and a salary Dump should be good enough

    Again doesn't make any sense. So getting an all nba guard doesn't require Atleast a solid nba player? Like I said you're basically asking for dragic for free
