    Yeah well a third team must be found. A team that will give enough playing time to Bev and the possibility to resign him. Suns aren't it. Unless they get into shady deal with the agent and take the blow as their only chance to get back a good return. Still doubt they would resign him next year.

    http://mweb.cbssports.com/nba/write...uzz-uncertainty-reigns-as-deadline-approaches <<< mentions Bevs being involved in trade.

    I'm sure the Rockets could find someone to take him... I just don't know who.

    So I guess we're going to have to make another deal under the table with an agent, eh?

    Detroit Charlotte Washington Cavs Pelicans Milwaukee ...
    But this is based on need.
    At this point we should just look at the agents list to see who is interested..
    I.E Delly's agent is the same as Bev's so I guess that's out of the window.

    I'm not so sure trading Bev will appease BDA. Bev might not want to leave, and he might not be able to thrive in a new environment.

    The Bucks are interested in Kanter?
    Heat wanna swap Deng for Dragic (no way Suns give up Dragic for Deng right?)

    The deal was actually completed years ago but we could find out about it soon.

    Clippers are ready to part with Jamal Crawford, better go for someone like him alongside Terry and try to pry a big lose somewhere then waste our ass hats on Dragic.

    Im torn.

    I know that more than likely Dragic will be a rental. It will cost big, but this team as assembeled isnt championship material. Dragic is what this team needs THIS YEAR. Worry about next year after the season. Even after all the injuries the team is nicely positioned. Gotta swing for the fences.

    If Dragic wants to walk away from a championship team to get a maximum deal then so be it. Team will have that money freed up and shopping yet again. Anyone really doubt Morey will find yet another 'no name' PG and turn him into a known commodity? Cmon man.

    Now is the time, not next year.

    Morey will come out of nowhere, per usual, and get a underwhelming back-up PG and that's it.

    Makes sense for the Heat and the Suns, IMO.
    The Suns need help on the wing (SF spot) and Deng makes them a more balanced team.

    I guess Deng, fillers en picks will be enough for the Suns to pull the trigger.

    I understand you are 'le pessimistic man ;^)' and that's is your schtick, but do you really feel the need to open yourself to look very moronic all the while your supposed favorite team possibly becomes considerably more talented? No one knows what's going to happen with all these moving pieces.

    Realistic is more like it and I don't think we should go for a big name. Underwhelming in the sense that people now expect big things, but a Ridnour or Calderon is what you should expect and not be dissappointed.

    Suns have made it known they want another big. Deng may have too many miles on him from his Bulls days. I don't see Suns pullin the trigger on this trade. They want someone younger too.

    No they aren't. I refuse to believe any of this crap lol
    Err..I think Miami can get him in the offseason but if not and his agent is adamant then Miami could potentially trade a pupu platter of Deng McBob swap rights for lets say two years and maybe Nappier.

    Clippers want back a first to go after Afflalo. Crawford is not worth a first.
    Doc is stupid and so shortsighted. Crawford is pissed and rightfully so.
    No,whether Dragic leaves or not in the offseason the capspace of the Rockets will be minuscule and they won't be able to go after another big time FA unless they gutt the roster.
    And you can bet that even with a championship is won Dragic if he isn't given a 5 year max is out of the door asap. Probably his agent will be also pissed that he got traded in Houston

    calderon is out of the question. The lenght of his contract and his age makes it prohibitive for Morrey's flexibility. He won't be able to be flipped later.
    Now Ridnour sure.

    If Morey is still really going after Dragic then that's a great sign!!! It must mean he feels pretty confident about Howard coming back and being able to play at a high level. So Morey could be going all in on Dragic now...

    The Suns have to do their part. It's not only up to Morrey.
    Firstly a team for Bev has to be found with assurance to his agent that he will get plenty of playing time perhaps even starting minutes( starter bonus? ) and the possibility to resign.
    Then Morrey should leak that Houston will pay him the 5 year max and will make everythinggg possible to make him happy and trust him as their sole and only PG and other bullcrap.
    And if these jedi tricks work then Morrey can get him.
    If he doesn't agree to come I don't think it's very wise to piss him and his agent off. I mean I am sure that he will do his best on the court beause he is a professional but in the summer he will go away.

    Dragic's agent is obviously trying to get Morey to up his bid. Let the games begin! We want Dragic!
