    I don't get it. Dragic said in that article that he would be open to all teams.

    Why you lie dragic!?

    No way the Suns get that kind of value in a trade. More like Stauskas, Jones and NYK 2nd... they lost all of their leverage.

    I understand being dissapointed by why make fun of Dragic?
    What would you do if you were him? He hasn't won that much in his carreer ( compared to NBA players) and now it's his chance to finally get paid. There are teams in the biggest markets willing to give him the max .
    Most people would go there and noone can blame him!

    Okay, so the Lakers can start to rebuild a little over a year from now....still won't be a championship contender in the next 3 or 4 years which is likely the rest of Gogi's prime.

    As to the Heat, sure they aren't the only team without Lebron, but they were entirely built around Lebron and they'll need to start their complete rebuild in a few years....meaning no chance of serious contention in the next 3 or 4 years.

    Basically Gogi is picking playing in NY, LA, or Miami over a shot to contend. Good for him, but I don't respect players like that. He can have fun being the next Nick Van Exel.

    he is open to all team
    whoever paid him the most money
    but prefer NY, Lakers
    because he can get max money and be the primary ball handler as well
    don't understand why Miami
    they don't have cap space

    Collison will be traded only with another good pg coming back. The Kings are very very happy with him. So unless Dragic is getting traded now, Collison will stay until the summer.

    Rockets give a lotto pick and talent to get nothing

    that is total overpay for a guy who wants out and is possibly only a 2 month rental... also, never trade big for small..

    we aren't improving much by trading dmo for dragic
    unless howard is healthy and tjones return to his season opening form
    after trading dmo we are extremely undersized
    tallest guy will be scoreless capela

    It would do the exact opposite though....If he's unlikely to re-sign, why trade anything of value for him?

    Adorable that the Suns think they still have that much leverage.
