yeah we really screwed up thinking this 3 pg thing would mess up. IF no one in the history of the NBA has done it and all 3 guys are ball dominant guys IT DOESN'T WORK.

You need a PG like Bled/Drag and a 2 guard like Wade/Kobe/Pierce (in his prime) to win a title. Need a stellar 2 guard or 3 to win a title. All championship teams have stellar 2 guards or 3's. guys who are 6'6- 6'8 who can create a shot off the dribble, play D, hit clutch shots. Suns gotta get one Idk if it's Warren.

If Dragic was happier being the only point guard in 2012/2013 in an absolutely horrible season, and leading us to a .500 record with Bledsoe out last year...WTF

I've got to think multiple deals might happen. Our FO has been very quiet. Traxee is wishing us good luck. SH*** about to hit the fan.

Goran Dragic: "I had to stand in the corner and play. I made the sacrifice but the others didn't".

Are the "others" in reference to Bledsoe and IT?

It's an agent speaking through Dragic.

Dragic "Im unhappy I don't trust Phoenix"

Reality: GIVE ME A MAX DEAL I WANT 6M A YEAR MORE.

It's bluffing and posturing. Dragic was a really happy guy it seems. Screw thomas trade his butt and give Dragic maybe 15M a year and make him work his ass off.

If he hadn't demanded a trade we'd try to resign him for 12-13M a year. A few days of public whining is worth 2-6M a year more for him

Miami needs a point guard to pair with Bosh.
Portland needs playoff experience at the wing.
Phoenix needs a wing to grow with Bledsoe and Len

Dragic to Miami
Deng to Portland
Batum to Phoenix

I have no words...

What altercation is this referring to?

He said earlier the year that the MoBros were involved in a lockerroom alteraction. But it was never specified who was the other half, and why it happened.
Now it seems that it was Goran and IT, and MoBros stepped in on ITs side. IT is speculation on my part, could be Bled or Ennis, but Bled would defend himself just fine I think, and Ennis makes no sense as he is a rookie.
I'd still like to know what the alteraction was about... Who is not passing enough maybe?

Why do I have the feeling I'm going to hit 10,000 posts within the trade deadline?

Goodwin (Wade-lite) and Bogdanovic (Euro Kobe Bryant) are ready (well , ready to show what they got) 8-)

I guess that's why they rarely get fouls called for them, because they rarely drive and just like to shoot outside?

The very untalked part of this is maybe suns are high on Bogdanovic could be a Dragic lite replacement

Goodwin has the athletic ability it all comes down to can he learn to shoot

I am done with Dragic, and its not about hearsay. Its about direct quotes. It's obvious that he is not about winning as much as about his confort level. Move on already.

Hence the Dragic quote about him being the only one sacrifising... in a contract year, which he didn't add, but meant to say.
Can't really blame him, these last couple straws broke the camels back. Too bad it had to end this way.

Like Kerrsed said, he is classless to demand a trade, blast our FO in the midst of a playoff run. Those are the facts, no hearsay there.

The hearsay is that he tried to fight IT.
