Speaking early this afternoon at US Airways Center, Dragic indicated the bond between himself and team that drafted him is irretrievably broken. "I don't trust them anymore," Dragic said following Wednesday's practice session. "It happens too many times. Two, three times. "They give promises, OK. It's hard. But at the same time, I wish them all the best. They were great to me the past five years. I'm always going to have a good memory about Phoenix fans and the city. I just hit that point of my career that it's better for me and my family to move on." Dragic has lost trust in the Suns organization because they have brought in two other point guards, On Wednesday, Dragic underscored the importance of that role change. "I don't feel comfortable with my situation," he said, adding, "It's just different. Standing in the corner, it's not my game. I see that we're not going the right direction. That's why I take action and try to put myself in a better position." Even if the Suns traded Thomas, Dragic's mind is set on leaving Phoenix in July free agency. Dragic, who championed the Suns re-signing Bledsoe last April, wants to be able to run his own team. As many as eight teams have expressed interest in trading for Dragic, who has expressed his own interest in going to Indiana, Miami, New York or the Los Angeles Lakers. The Suns' ability to make a deal will not be helped by Dragic's stance or contract situation. Dragic will opt out of his current deal after this season and be an unrestricted free agent.
I'm not outright calling Drew fake, but if tomorrow is the deadline and Stein, Woj, Amick and every reporter under the sun says Houston is actively trying to make a trade, saying things like "Things are heating up" doesn't validate you in any way. No offense.
im so glad that i'm not a suns fan right now... things are straight up falling apart over there. dragons trade value is in the pooper
Morey's not dealing for any significant player until Shved happens and Shved doesn't happen until the 19th when his trade restriction expires.
i dont understand why the celtics are in the mix.. they literally just traded rondo cuz he was too old and they didnt want to give him a max deal.......... dragon and rondo are the same age.............................
Dragic would be a good fit in Boston. However I don't know if Boston has young talent Phoenix wants that they are willing to make available (maybe Sullinger but they looooove Olynyk).

Thanks. I was trying to remember the date the Russian can be traded. I was thinking today or tomorrow, and you cleared that up. Of course, Morey could make a deal today that would leave Shved out it, but we'll see how that all plays out. So at midnight, the Russian can be moved. Hell, I'll be up until 3am anyway. I usually am.
