    Maybe he doesn't care. Maybe he wants to get dat money while he can.

    For me, I would rather get Brandon Knight over other PGs thrown around in the trade rumors. Does anyone else feel this way?

    Why wasn't knight mentioned in the woj article? Strange that he even dropped a possible draymond green to Detroit in the off season bomb but nothing about knight...

    Makes you wonder if Morey has enough assets to make it happen.

    Harden and Dwight were opportunities. you can be prepared to take advantage of a situation. but just cause you can, you cant create the situation all the time.

    as i said soething like a lottery pick and a young prospect. Problem is Jones is completely redudant since both franchice baby pebbles are forwards. Oh and will have to take back some kind of PG. Maybe Cannaan.

    BUT I don't think it will happen. I have not seen any leaks from our side for Houston askig for Knight. QUestions about Ilyasova and about Henson yes. Not Knight.
    Also Cyber said he had heard nothing about that.

    The sense that I get is that he's prioritizing maximizing his next contract over being motivated by winning a championship. Why else would he be considering the Lakers?

    And I don't mean that as a criticism. I think he'll play hard no matter where he is and what contract he has.

    I think we have to look to Holiday also.

    Seriously, Woj keep repeating himself, he's clearly trying to help up the ante in return for goods in the future, Woj has become more transparent in the past few years, he makes deals with teams to get stuff out if they give him dibs on the inside information, it used to be harder to tell which was which but it's clear he's being used to up Goran's offers.

    Did we know prior that suns would only trade dragic to a team he would re-sign with? Sounds like the meeting happened and we shouldnt necessarily consider this potential move a "rental" any longer...

    Waj has reported several times within the last few hours the same thing in different words over and over and over again. Lol I really do think Dragic is staying.

    Meeting won't really matter one way or the other.

    Would love Dragic or Brandon Knight. Keep this in mind though, Knight is 23 and Dragic is about to turn 29. Knight would cost around 12-14M/per and Dragic would be around 15-18M/per.

    I think he'd prefer to get both. Phoenix is really rolling the dice if they don't deal him. Even if they do manage to get rid of Thomas before July, Dragic could still walk. Does he wanna spend nearly his entire career in the lottery?

    BTW, I liked that part of the article about Draymond Green bolting for Detroit. I figured he was unlikely to stay with the Warriors since he'd cost too much, but that'll be a big hit on that team going into next season if he does in fact wind up elsewhere.

    If we get Lawson or Thomas or Knight not getting Dragic really wouldn't bother me. We just need a player that's better than Beverley to start.

    If DMo/Pels pick plus other assets isn't enough the Suns are really out there. I think the real issue is how many assets is Morey willing to give up.
