From Slovenian news source quoting Dragic.

Pacers offered a package of Hibbert, Copeland, and cash considerations.

They would have been better off offering them a steak dinner and a baseball cap. Better chance of getting Dragic that way than the junk that the Pacers offered.

Bright Side's own Jogi translated most of the video for us and decided that it seems to be a new offer made after Paul George's injury.

"Indiana offered Roy Hibbert, Chris Copeland and some cash," Dragic told the reporter from Ekipa. "But according to my sources, the Suns rejected the offer."

Jogi says he recalls another report out of Slovenia that Dragic actually got on the phone with the Suns front office when hearing about the offer through the media.

He did go on to say he feels flattered by the attention, Jogi says of the Ekipa interview, but would not want to change his environment as he feels great in Phoenix and has a lot of friends here.

He did say after the season is over, anything is possible, but he's not the caliber of player that has any say in trades.

"It's the NBA," Dragic said. "You're here today, and there tomorrow. It's business".

The Phoenix Suns are always going to be in "listen" mode when it comes to any of their players, but it's clear that in rejecting an offer of Roy Hibbert - a worthy candidate for 2013 Defensive Player of the Year as the league's best rim protector, as well as second team All-Defense in 2014 - the Suns value Goran Dragic quite highly.

The Suns have also, reportedly, rejected any and all trade offers for Eric Bledsoe as well. This sends a message that, quite possibly, the Suns are being honest about wanting to play all three point guards, along with Isaiah Thomas, heavy minutes in 2013-14 in an experiment to run other teams off the court.
