Official Trade Thread: How to Trade Your Dragon

I would hold on to Zoran and not include him in a deal just to spite Goran. Unless we're dealing with SAC or BOS cauz they are taking a risk by sacrificing assets and need to bolster their chances of re-signing him, even though idk if that would be a dealbreaker

Gambo is still suggesting that the Suns call Dragic' bluff and offer a max in the offseason. I can't think of a worse idea.

Such a change in the Dragic I am used to seeing/hearing, and the one who stood before me today. Have to wonder if agent is playing a role.

Dude is being coached by Bill Duffy. I hate that guy.

Listening to the comments, I feel that as well.

I would go Friday just to boo his ***.

Tell me when you are in town (Minny) I'll buy you a drink.

Haha. I was thinking Friday was a home game. Sorry man, I've gotten no sleep once this story broke. I can't think or do anything besides refreshing this damn thread and checking twitter. Reminds me of draft day last year.

Yeah Gambo going off now! Keeps saying to keep Dragic. Can always trade him in the offseason.

Burns hates it. Gambo likes it. I tend to hate that idea.

Dragic on if the #Suns can do something to change his mind, "I already made up my mind. It's 2 years, I played hard and every year is same."

Guys, we got IT last summer. When Dragic says "it's 2 years"...what the hell happened last season that pissed him off so much? Is it Eric?

Most likely.

thats exactly it... this season, if you read between the lines of what NotTraxxe has mentioned, it seems the Morris are now trying to be leaders of the entire team... the "be leaders" speech has gotten to their heads too much, and probably dictating even senior players and better players than them.... Marcus yelling at Hornacek is evidence that the Morris, atleast Marcus, thinks he is tough $hit.

Again, though...when Goran says "it's been 2 years" referring to issues, what is he referring to?

Paying Dragic 20M a year is not smart. The suns won't go severely over the tax limit. Dragic is worth 13M a year not 20. that 7M is needed to pay another star or a really good role player.

letsgosuns · Post #672 » by **letsgosuns** » Wed Feb 18, 2015 9:24 pm

Gambo has lost his mind. 100 million dollars for Dragic. That would equal 170 million dollars for Dragic and Bledsoe. 170 million dollars for two non all stars. Horrible business decision.

saintEscaton · Post #673 » by **saintEscaton** » Wed Feb 18, 2015 9:25 pm

Thing is I dont think we are going to lure in max caliber players in the FA anytime soon. So its really comes down to overvaluing your own if thats the best you got

boy oh boy Can we trade Gambo as well

Most likely.

When they traded for Bledsoe.... basically Dragic took it to heart. He actually felt that the Suns didnt think he was franchise material... hence why he wants to flourish like "Steph Curry".... well he needs to be as good as Steph Curry first.

Yep. That bridge has been burned. Team chemistry is shot.

I misspoke. Not starting. But playing. (re: Zoran)

Also, the altercation was initiated by Dragic. One of the Morri stepped in on another PG's behalf.

I don't think any team in will give up anything in a trade for Goran if Zoran isn't included. He is HUGE for free agency leverage
