Guys good morning. Someone can let me in what happened with a few words please? Dragic said he doesn't want to come here? Cyber , Doc gave any info?
Repped. So bored and tired of fans coming on here and tearing down (and often running off) our insiders. How easy is it to troll? These guys make the site fun by sharing stuff with us they have no obligation to share. I understand *asking* the board if a poster is credible but trying to tear insiders down because you haven't been around long enough to know what's up and who's who is lame.
I mean come on guys....look at how rediculous this is. NYK has nothing to trade. NOTHING. Lakers have two things to trade....Randle and the top 5 protection on their own pick, but why would they trade either??? The media is just playing their game.
The Dragon's fire has turned toward the Suns organization. Goran Dragic, the closest thing to a face of the franchise for the Suns, wants to be traded by Thursday's 1 p.m. deadline, according to multiple league sources after the parties met Tuesday. Dragic has lost trust in the Suns organization because they have brought in two other point guards, Eric Bledsoe and Isaiah Thomas, and reduced his playmaking role since he returned to Phoenix during free agency in 2012 to be Steve Nash's heir apparent. The Suns, who traded Dragic in 2011, traded for Bledsoe in 2013 when he was one of the most-sought trade commodities and created a dual-playmaker backcourt. Dragic thrived when Bledsoe missed half of the season and they ultimately found chemistry for a 48-win season. Dragic was content in that set-up but the addition of another starting-quality point guard in Thomas has put Dragic almost exclusively off the ball no matter if Thomas or Bledsoe are paired with him or if the Suns are in a three-point-guard lineup. Even if the Suns traded Thomas, Dragic's mind appears to be set on leaving Phoenix in July free agency. A change of heart has not been ruled out but is portrayed as doubtful because Dragic's camp considers the perceived breach of trust to be irrevocable. Dragic, who championed the Suns resigning 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. http://www.azcentral.com/story/spor...s-suns-he-wont-re-sign-after-season/23595011/
So can we say Dragic is officially out? Lets delete all the Dragic threads and move on. Knight, not on the table right? Jackson, not considered a big enough upgrade? Rubio, had his contract extended recently and I haven't seen even one article or tweet about him being available. Lawson, a couple of sources said he is unlikely to be moved, but at this point I think he's the only option that's semi left If Dragic is dealt else where, which would mean Thomas would also be staying with the Suns. No reason to trade him off if Dragic is bouncing. So is it Lawson (which is highly unlikely) or bust at this point? What a boner kill...
Maybe it is a deal for Rubio... it is going to be alley oop galore... JSmooth, Brewer, Harden will own the highlight reels...
Except it's not a story. It happened. You can't argue facts. And if you don't want to read them, just skip over the tweet when you see his name. It isn't difficult.
I would suspect Dragic doesn't care about the Suns' side of things. He just wants to go to either place..
Posted in the other thread Woj: quote: The Houston Rockets have interest in reacquiring him, but Dragic has privately indicated his fear of Houston trading him in the years after signing him to a deal makes him uneasy about a deal there.

IIRC, Cyber made the "chance Dwight goes to Houston growing" thread before Doc said anything of substance. Correct me if I'm wrong. I don't recall him calling Brewer, I remember Woj doing a story about how we were going to try to get him like a month before we did though.
That's what I'm saying--no one is going to trade for Thomas with the intention of making him a main part of their team. Is he on a favorable contract? Sure but if you gave Nate Robinson the same minutes and touches I'm sure he can replicate what Thomas gives you at a fraction of the cost. The Suns' management did a piss poor job and I even told ChrisinAZ or whatever the hell his name is that when he was posting here. You don't have a loyal wife (Dragic) and a piece on the side (Bledsoe) and then go find yourself a girl (Thomas) on Tinder. Then you shoot yourself in the foot again by getting your sidepiece that Range Rover while your loyal wife has been waiting for an upgrade from her Lexus RX.
Now this is 100% understandable. Imagine if Morey were to trade Ariza now. That would turn off so many FAs
