Jeff Teague, Etan Thomas (filler), and our 2011 first round pick

for

Goran Dragic - has a team option for $2.1 million this off-season.

Thoughts?

Isn't Dragic the guy who they see as being the heir apparent to Nash when he is gone? I'm not sure they would do that deal.

I'd do that deal, but I don't think Phoenix would. BTW, if what I've read is accurate, Phoenix needs to be careful about losing Dragic back to Europe.

^If true, that'd help to force PHO's hand in trading Nash.

Yes, but they have no other options at the moment. They continue with Dragic or they get a young talent in Teague and the draft pick. Selling all the draft picks in the past has really hurt the future of the organization.
