One of those isn’t like the other... Dragic isn’t yet a year removed from being an all star/Eurobasket MVP. He’s got 2 years left of productive ball.

Dragic relies on his speed and athleticism a lot. We've seen time and time again players fall off a cliff when they turn 31-32. For every Steve Nash, we have tens and hundreds of Tony Parkers, Deron Williams', Monta Ellis' and Jameer Nelsons who become borderline unplayable in their early thirties. Not to mention that Dragic's a **** quiter who quit on this team twice.

Are we counting him being traded to the Houston Rockets at the deadline as him quitting on us? Did he have a hand in his trade? I thought that was us who **** up?

Interesting that Aldridge mentions PG-13 -- first option and than Smart to the Suns

http://www.nba.com/article/2018/06/11/morning-tip-mailbag-june-11-2018?collection=news

Aldridge is not like Woj or Charnia breaking news but he seems more credible than Kyler, Schultz, Amico, Amick, Broussard

If Lebron doesn't go to the Lakers -- George would be excellent next to Ayton and Booker that's for sure

Smart does make a lot of sense but going to need some shooters with him.

Suns / Clippers
Harris, Pick 12, Pick 13, 2019 Pick for Pick 1

Suns / Hawks
Pick 12, Pick 13 and Pick 16 and rights to swap picks in 2019.... for Pick 3

Suns draft Ayton still at Pick 3.... gets Harris.

Sign
A PG

Blanks made a bad trade, but make no mistake, Dragic played himself into that trade. He was terrible to the point that the Suns signed Zabian Dowdell to improve our PG rotation. The Suns were losing double-digit leads every time Dragic touched the floor. His body language was awful and then shortly before getting traded he had some mysterious foot injury or something.

Rockets can really only hope for a LeBron opt in and they can move Anderson or they will not have Paul Capela next year. I just don't see Anderson going anywhere with the lack of assets to trade him. Maybe they can move two picks like GSW did to get Iggy but one would have to know those picks won't be good unless you made one for 2022 or something like that.

Dragic would be fine. Kemba would be a good move. Pass on Smart.

Maybe we should aim higher? I know that might be tough during a rebuild.

Wiz fan here, I come in peace. Just curious what the organization's plans are with Alex Len with what seems like picking Ayton. If memory serves me right he took a qualifying offer and is a UFA right? Has he expressed any desire to stay with the organization? Thanks for any info.

He wants to leave. We'd help him if a S&T were appropriate. He's become a solid center - I'd certainly take him over Gortat/Mahinmi. Not all here will agree.

Cheers, friend!

Now, I started following Karim as he said the Padres were going to get Ohtani, as to that point, he had gotten a few things Dodgers related correctly

He got Ohtani wrong
He than tweeted Hosmer to the Padres a few weeks before it happened - eventually it did

He tweeted over the week end - LeBron enrolled his kids ina Brentwood school

If true - prediction: Love for Warren, Chandler

Lots of potential, needs coaching ,system and stability, I think he has had a different coach, system and teammates each year in the league. HIS HANDS ARE TRASH THO

KOC mentions the suns as a possible out of no where make a trade and contend possibility. No big prediction or anything but wanted to post because he's by far the highest on the future suns of any national media.

Good at rebounding, pretty good at d because of his sheer size and decent movement. Plays like he learned to play basketball by reading a book with almost 0 natural feel for the game.

0% chance he comes back.
