Official Trade Thread: How to Trade Your Dragon

[bwgood77]

since all offers are most likely going to be bad, might as well the least bad of all of them, even if its a team not on dragic's list

Yes, I'd say taking the least bad offer is the best approach.

[WTFsunsFTW]

Karl wanted to speak with Dragic. He declined and his agent advised the Kings he would under no circumstance resign. After his public comments the Celtics pulled out. Dragic's agent is trying to force his way to the big markets so he can get a five year deal.

Wow, so what if we don't deal him? He's stuck with a 4 year deal?
And if he only wants NY or LA, there's really no incentive on our part to deal him there. We'd get nothing in return.
Instead, he'll remain a Sun and either get boo'ed hard every night, or cheered with the hope he'll change his mind.

Wow, Dragic has literally back stabbed the Suns and pissing in the wound.

Spoiler:

Won't even entertain potential trades.

if he cant be dealt for a fair value.. keep him.
McD should then do, assuming it is legal.
- Bench him for the rest of the year, "DNP".
- Ban him from practice, not use any of the Suns equipment to keep fit and in-shape, because he is not part of the team after the next 30 games anyways.

I want to see if someone offers a max contract, considering he will be out of shape and out of NBA form.

Do you know what literally means?

[Sunsdeuce]

Just curious,
at this point would you accept Tim hardaway and 2018 protected first for him if nothing else materializes or would you rather take your chance on retaining him

I would rather keep him and let him walk than take that offer. No disrespect but the knicks have NOTHING of value right now.

[In Len We Trust]

At least Steve Nash had enough class to not burn bridges and act like a total ****. This is coming from a former Nash fanboy that HATED him after he became a Laker.

[DaleyBlind]

Lets just say Dragic is not traded by the deadline.

What type of reception would be receive from the Suns crowd when he plays at home......will he get booed?

Has our crowd ever produced a good, solid chorus of boos?

Joe Johnson's first game back as a Sun he got booed

[Fo-Real]

driving home from picking up my daughter from bball practice and had an epiphany.... maybe you guys read through the lines on who the Morri protected in the locker room. Someone said pg, but the suns have said they think of Archie as a pg.... it was probably Archie and his beef could have been Zoran being treated better than him based on being the golden childs brother. If Archie ever refused to go down to the d league the Suns would have trashed his name and cut his ass, yet Zoran has a damn say. Not to mention those two play the same posistion and are both chomping at the bit to play..... now hearing Goran probably trying to leverage the team to play his bro more, should piss off a lot of people including ARCHIE.... Oru team chemistry has been off from the start and maybe its not the Morri... they have always cheered for and acted as big brother types for Archie... at all of the summerleague games supporting... Tucker too!!

Sigh - you've managed to cut Dragic off at the knees based on heresay. Bravo.

Show me 1, as ONE, example of Dragic showing any non-a$$hole statement or action towards the Suns, in the last 48 hours.

You can go follow him where ever he goes, its a free world.

But based on all the information coming out, there has been NO OUNCE of evidence Dragic has been fair to the Suns... this is business afterall and he has been unprofessional.

Never thought of that before... Could be? Interesting take!

[LukasBMW]

Not Monroe. Garbage. But a clean slate for Dragic.

[BowlRips]

No disrespect. completely aware that they have no assets.

Just curious how this turns out.
From the surface it does not seem that Dragic can remain a Sun past the trade deadline.

He's already chased the Kings and Celtics away. We dont know what Houston will offer based on the fact that hes expressed disinterest in playing there.
The Lakers have no incentive to make a deal with you guys since they would just be taking themselves out of position to keep their draft pick and give it up to you guys.
The Heat have no assets to offer as well.

When you keep ringing that bell and all that comes is Hardaway and a protected pick will that be sufficient to jettison Dragic from the Suns

Am I allowed to show you how many times the club f*cked him first or is that not allowed?

Do you know what literally means?

Do you know not to F$#k around when someone is pissed angry?

Seriously, other than nitpick on petty $hit, please move on and don't quote me unless you have a F$#KING point other than being F$#KING petty as $hit.

No fanboy here by the way, just someone who likes facts.

What he said there, doesnt change all the things he has said about the Suns FO in the last 48 hours.

[In Len We Trust]

Why not IT for Bass and the Clippers pick????

[starbosa10]

Broussard and his "multiple sources" say they want Lawson or Goran.
