    First, the Suns (obviously) put Dragic on the block. Next, they vehemently deny any intention of trading him. In other words, yeah, they're willing to deal Dragic, but there's not going to be any fire sale.

    And it's so annoying what they are doing. Just give a logical straightforward answer! Honestly this week is going to put my curious nerves on the edge!

    funny, the kanter-to-phx thing is precisely what I suggested several days ago. great minds think alike.

    Or if he tells Phoenix he will accept the Lakers' max offer if Phoenix does not pony up the max. Which hopefully is the message relayed at the meeting tomorrow.

    Again...why do you think that everyone wants to play here? Durant, I could give you, because he and Harden are VERY close friends...they were Siamese Twins this week at the All Star festivities. Other than that fantasy, everything else is probably a pipe dream...and yes, Dragic forgoing his payday for a year would be nice, but injuries are a reality, and he owes Houston nothing....I'm guessing that if we trade for him, we'll sign him to the max available(they would have his bird rights, so they can pay him the full max).

    Dragic solves 85% of our problems!

    At this point, the best case scenario i could see him accepting is something that looks like 18, 17, 18, 19, 20. He simply hasn't earned enough money in his career to be playing cap shenanigans.

    Does anyone know what time? This whole process appears it will consume my life this week. Hope it works better than the last time I let Rockets transactions consume my life (waiting for Bosh to sign).

    Pap has All-Star Potential. Look at the playmaking and pacing ability he has to offer prior to the injury in Dec.. He's an All-Star in the making.

    This could work, only problem is Suns are stacked with PFs... They wan a Wing player 2/3. Pap fits more of the bill. Pap can literally play all 5 positions if he got his handles and shot right.

    Would anyone be against parting with both Papanikalaou and Jones as well as the pick? I'd be fine with it.
