    Phoenix won't have a big market. There are a number of high quality point guards in the league. Dragic also can tell a team he won't resign, much like Kevin Love. If he wants top dollar from a contender, we are one of the few that can do it. Won't be much competition. Not for a possible season rental at least.

    So only a trade with a Draft pick and the TPE is allowed?

    but you can complete the trade by dividing it into two separate trades

    I guess the Phoenix point guard we were all anticipating really was Ish Smith :(

    Salary cap question. Do the Rockets have the ability to sign Hamilton to a contract and trade him to a team like the Suns to help match salary for another player they want?

    We don't even have to use our TPE. TJones, Gee and Powell are more than enough to trade for Dragic.

    Yes. Would need Hamilton's consent though.

    Just means there's no pending activity using cap space. That was always an unlikely scenario.

    A trade is our best route right now.

    So with the official signings of Adrien, Dorsey, and Smith we would have to rule out any chance we get Bledsoe.

    A signing yes....but if it is indeed Bledsoe...it really would not matter, correct? Phoenix could sign and trade Bledsoe here, while we use our trade exception in the deal.

    If the Suns are smart they would trade Dragic. Dragic is older and may bolt next year.
