Both the Heat and Knicks trade offers are terrible. Miami's first rd picks are gonna be so far in the future, will McD, Babby, and Hornacek all even still be around then? Hell is Sarver gonna still be around then?

Plus it will be terrible picks. Even after Wade & Bosh retire, Pat Riley is gonna find ways to keep that team afloat. Assuming he's still their GM then.

KNICKS offer is laughable. I'd rather watch Goodwin than Tim Hardaway Jr play.

I dunno. All 3 free up more PT for Dragic and Green, which we saw last year were key for us...

I think Suns could get more back from Boston. Adding IT would give them 7 guards on the roster, and Bass is really their only backup C. I'd think you could grab an Avery Bradley or an Evan Turner.

Turner on the Suns would be interesting.

Let him spend some time with Horny on his shot, and he could be very servicable

Well if Dragic doesn't get traded, we are f'd. Suns will give him a max and our future is done.

I think we should trade Dragic to Celtics for Sullinger and Evan Turner!

If we do stand pat, maybe this is what the FO's thinking.

Maybe not. Sarver is supposedly really pissed.

It has been 1 1/2 years and Bledsoe, Goodwin, Tucker, Plumlee have all shown no improvement on their jumpshots whatsoever. Hornacek is/was a really good shooter but his ability to teach players how to shoot is a myth.

Evan Turner is a dirty word. Please don't use it on this PG forum.

Sarver's been winning my trust back. If his stubbornness sets us back here, I will again hope he sells the team. Do not interfere with McD. That is the guy in the FO whom people trust.

They need to get rid of someone. My guess is IT if Sarver is ticked.

If that's the case, I suspect Dragic isn't going anywhere today. He'll try to deal Thomas and maybe Green/Plumlee and wait until the offseason to do anything with Dragic. He's not going to be bullied into making a bad deal and that's all he's going to get if he trades Dragic today.

F what McDuh said a couple months ago. He better 'un-stubborn' his knowitall ass and soon. I'm beginning think this guy and his stat-book-look at players is the problem. They are all pawns in his mind. He never played the game, he doesn't relate. I am going to assume (really you say?) the players view him in a nerdish baldly geek way. Babby has some cred... but McDuh ? What really has he done to garner respect from the locker room? He's a flesh peddler.

GMs are not supposed to be players' buddies. Their job is to assemble a winning team. His track record is excellent so far taking a 25-win team and producing what looks to be back-to-back winning seasons with a surplus of young, talented players going forward. But whatever.

Frank is just hating on everything lately. Do what I did and add the fellow to your block list till he gets his **** together.

Could be. Could also be that Suns aren't interested in the crap that is being offered now, and feel like they can get Goran his extra $20m in a sign and trade......but at a price. Draft picks+ a HUGE TPE from whichever team he decides to go to.
