    I mean I'd be quite happy if they were willing to part with Isiah Thomas

    I think they would be for the right deal. In fact Suns fans were kind hoping that IT would have been traded to the Bobcats before the Mo Williams deal.

    I think Suns fans would rather trade IT than Dragic.

    I am not sure what the market is for IT.

    I think the Rockets liked IT when he was an RFA last year with the Kings, but not sure they like his current value now.

    IT has been heavilly shopped from the start of the trade deadline. Not sure what is the price but noone's buying. Even Detroit and Charlotte who were in a bad place with their hurt PGs and close to the POs didn't buy. So it probably involves a first.

    IT and Harden are a bad bad fit imo.

    Hard to believe anything that comes out of any GMs mouth this close to the trade deadline. Liar's poker. LOL

    It's hard to get value back for an overpaid backup pg, especially when you need to get rid of him.

    We know this from experience

    IT has the wrong contract. They wont be able to move him except for long-term money player thats not a difference-maker. Stuck.

    It's like 5 per right? his contract is not that bad. IT is a great scorer and one of the fastest guards.
    They also will try to combine him with Plumplee. I bet their problem is they ask too much. They even asked a first for Plumplee who is a white stiff warm body at this point.

    Little under 7, but it's also because if they don't get rid of him, they have literally zero chance of re-signing Goran and everyone and their dog knows it (they're not going to trade Bledsoe, he's been pretty clearly their best player this year and he's young).

    Am I the only one reading the second tweet regarding Babby as saying, he is more sure that there will not be three pgs and he is sure he doesn't want to lose dragic? Very poorly worded tweet.

    Well if you speak highly of Bledsoe that either means A) IT must go or B) he needs to take the electrocution and let Gogi Soar.

    We are not interested in Isaiah Thomas even if he was free for the taking.

    oh under 7 lol..if they just salary dump there will be takers for sure. They must be asking for a first.
    The 7 is the new 5. Now roleplayers will be paid 8-10 per.

    I don't see Morrey going to IT. It would be the backcourt with the worst defence in the league .No matter how better Harden has gotten he CAN'T cover for IT as well.

    Welp. Looks like the only way we get DragiƧ is if Morey can work some magic in the summer.

    If Dragic walks and wants to sign here I'm sure Phoenix would be more then willing to do a sign and trade. Better then getting nothing

    Maybe we can sign Will Bynum for some PG help. He's good friends with Beverley as well maybe it will help Bev's play.

    I could see the Suns trading IT if it's a three or 4 team deal but straight up will be difficult unless a team needing PG gets desperate and they are willing to accept pennies on the dollar. Dragic only gets dealt if they are floored by an offer and/or he tells them they have no chance of retaining him.

    The prospect of Thomas being our 6th man off the bench is intriguing. It's not necessarily about who starts but about who finishes. Yes, his defense is a liability but if you can get him cheap, then other assets could be use to further shore up rim protection. What good defenders are there at the PG position not on a playoff team, who can shoot, and are playmakers?
