So with Dragic saying he doesn't want to stay here, we're going to offer Dmo and a lottery pick? Alright...
Agreed. Maybe this is all posturing by Dragic or the Suns, but I ain't giving away my only reliable post scorer for a player who's dropping big hints that he wants to go to a big market team next season, even ones that are years away from contending. I'd be willing to give up T-Jones from the big man rotation and that's it. If him, Papa, and the NOP pick ain't enough, then the Suns can have fun trading Dragic to LA or NY for all I care. It's not like there aren't other PGs out there.
Exactly, that wasn't going to happen even if he said he wanted to be here, now they'd be lucky to get an offer of Joey Dorsey and the NYK 2nd
Dragic's chances with us are -110% lets get some info for actual trades. How available is Ty Lawson right now?
If he's a rental, the Rockets will give up less than they would otherwise. It decrease Dragic's value to Houston.
It makes Houston think they can't get him. Maybe Houston offers more, and suddenly Dragic wanted Houston all along.
Well either Dragic is wanting a max deal, Clear and simple or he is making it so that the team that trades for him doesn't have to gut the roster. That way the team is still competitive.
That's bunk, it's not some guessing game. Morey will have access to Dragics agent. He doesn't need to rely on these media reports for information.
Well the Gasol trade was done then overturned. Dwight made clear he wouldn't resign here yet we kept making offers. That's all Phoenix is hoping for.
Say he is the worst of the 8. He's still the best WE have. Without him that disadvantage is even worse. Sure. But he's not stupid. He would obviously be willing to give up more if he got assurance from Dragic that he would resign. Him saying he won't resign does the opposite. It decreases what Morey will offer.
