    That may be the largest overstatement of a free agent's talent I've ever seen. He's barely been able to hold a starting job on a 30-win team, and he wants to be named the king of the entire generation?

    The Rockets could move DMO for Dragic, but it would mean a seperate move would be made for a 4.

    No joke.

    You get Dragic this year and will be able to resign him....

    Harden/Howard/Dragic/Smith etc.... that is A WHOLE LOT of talent.

    Yep with healthy Dwight and Goran, it'll be very hard to beat us 4 times.

    Except that Morey is the Val Venis of the NBA. Clutchfans are like the 1-2-3 Kid.

    the suns should have traded him during this offseason after he won 3rd team all nba. instead they let him play this year while driving his stats down playing with 2 other point guards.

    not very smart

    Is Motiejunas really that special?

    Dmo has been pulled out of all trade talks so rest assured that if we get Dragic , Dmo will not be included in the package. DM is very high on Dmo.

    Just rest assure knowing Dmo will be staying put. Unless for KD or Davis. :)

    You might not be drunk but you are losing your memory. We traded Brooks for Dragic AND a 1st round pick! That is the magic of the "idiot" Morey.

    We WILL NOT TRADE D-Mo he is our current insurance policy on DH12 and the future. Truth is he as good as offensive player as Howard (when healthy) right now. Howard when healthy is explosive but lacks the footwork and touch but is still an ultimate defensive stopper and elite rebounder . D-mo has footwork and touch down at this point in his young career and he'll only get better with age. Soon D-mo will be a good 3-point shooter and then his game will be at all-star level.

    And at the time Dragic was a backup to Nash. We gave up Brooks, the league's MIP at the time, for him. I did forget the pick, but my point in mentioning that trade is that Dragic's value has increased by leaps and bounds since then.

    An experienced poster like yourself knows Dwight is not likely to be able to come back to a peak level this season, and Jones is not playing well either.
    At least D-Mo will be back next year, whereas Goran can easily walk out.
    The Suns will undoubtedly ask for the Pelicans pick in addition to Motiejunas.

    It's a no brainer, I prefer to give up Jones over Capella with the pick and then Terry can be the matching salary. We will have his bird rights as well.

    Such a shame and Moreys biggest mistake not giving him that 4th year

    What's the chance that this actually happens? 30%? 50%?

    well he is certainly getting there

    the thing is, reliable post up players are so rare these days, anything is considered a commodity

    Plus he is very young, I feel like it will bite us in the ass if he flourishes elsewhere
