But right now, not so much.

Just passing by...
I sure hope so, but I have lowered my expectations (or trying to). I wouldn't mind giving up McBob as well, too bad he is hurt this year. McBob would fit very well with the Suns, he is a white Diaw who hustles and was easily our 2nd best play maker (our guards suck that much). Can shoot the 3, hustle, nice hair. Whats funny is his injury occurred during the end of the Suns game when Heat were in Phoenix. He was clutch too... Ugh he was just finding his way into our team.
Also I figured teams may be reluctant to even get the other Dragic... Then I remembered http://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/23 ... icks-Magic
Miami makes sense only its our assets that are the issue.
Our only young assets are James Ennis (lol), and Napier (PG tho). Doubt that entices Suns.
The Phoenix Suns are operating under the belief that guard Goran Dragic could be persuaded to accept a five-year contract elsewhere, thus are pursuing trades with asset-rich teams outside of his preferred list of destinations, league sources told Yahoo Sports.
For Dragic, the Suns are pursuing packages that include a young player with significant potential and a first-round draft pick or two first-round picks, league sources told Yahoo Sports.
The Suns signed Goran's brother, Zoran, to a two-year contract last summer, largely as a way to make the Suns star more comfortable with re-signing with the organization. With Goran wanting out, the Suns are trying to attach Zoran to trade packages with him, league sources told Yahoo Sports.

Dragic has been smart with his money, it seems, and the allure of the extra guaranteed year is not expected to have any sway on his free agency decision. The person spoke to USA TODAY Sports on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation.
Dragic appears far more concerned with the fit with his future team, about being on a playoff contender or — in the cases of the Lakers and Knicks — about helping one of the league's flagship franchises get back on its feet. The tricky part, of course, is that the teams on Dragic's list don't appear to have the kinds of assets (promising young player and a first-round pick) that the Suns want, while some teams that are not on his list clearly do.
