Official Trade Thread: How to Trade Your Dragon

[Blackification]

Im interested in seeing how the players react to this. Do they rally and fight their hardest to make the playoffs and prove that they don't need him or do they start making demands of their own.

Isaiah not only got **** over in the off season after Bledsoe got signed, now they reported he was the one to be traded to try and make Dragic stay, what happens when Dragic gets traded and Green takes his starting spot?

I've saved the best for last, my unrealistic yet feasible 3 teamer steamer.

Phx in: Nash, Randle, Ross, Nogueira, Hansbrough, LAL 1st unprotected '16, TOR 1st

LAL in: Goran, Zoran, Amir Johnson, Vasquez, Stiesma

Tor in: Hill, Lin, Tucker, Green

LAL is looking for a 3rd team to get involved. Toronto goes win now. LAL improves this year and the Dragii, PHX gets Randle and Ross and another 1st.

Dude, if we swap Dragic for Whiteside I'd be over the moon.

If they throw in a pick and or Deng, I will seriously **** myself in happiness.

Whiteside can't be traded until the 23rd I believe. So it would have to be an offseason deal.

I like the trade a lot for us even without the pick so someone must be getting screwed. I guess it's probably the Lakers.

But according to a league official, not authorized to speak publicly on the matter, "no deal appears likely" between the Lakers and Suns for Dragic.

The Lakers are eager to maintain the top-five 2015 protected draft pick they owe the Suns for the Steve Nash trade and the Lakers are hesitant to trade rookie point guard Jordan Clarkson, two NBA officials said. The Lakers also have Houston's first-round draft pick for the Jeremy Lin deal, but that won't be a high draft choice.

McD is a gangsta, no leverage and he is out there asking for the Lakers to remove their draft protection

[Grots]

Best we'd get from MIA is probably Deng and their 2017 1st. IMO, I think we should deal Dragic elsewhere then try to offload IT for that pick. Deng is essentially an expiring (he has a player option next year) and I doubt he re-signs anyway.

So I ended up listening to the podcast. Really good listen, too much to summarize tonight. I'd say it's almost mandatory listening for an understanding of how we got to this point.

All I'll say is that the FO comes out looking worse than Goran.

Going to bed feeling pretty down, to be honest.

I'm gonna listen to it right now.

In any deal with Boston can they use the trade exception they received from the Rondo trade?

Goran+Zoran+Plumlee

for

Sullinger+Trade exception+1st rd pick

Unbelievable. The Suns want yet another point guard (Jordan Clarkson)?

Wow.

Dude, when do u sleep? When I am online in AZ, night or day, you are posting, I am 8 hours out of the time, you're posting. Jeez.

So two days in a row now I have to catch up on 40-some pages, just boarded my flight back to the US, hence I'll be offline for 9 hours missing the deadline or just making it in time. Dreading having to catch up on 40 pages a 3rd consecutive time.
And I am bummed I can't partake in the puke go orgy that has a 66% chance of happening
Dragic gets traded and we like it -50 pages to catch up on
Dragic gets traded and we hate it -65 pages to catch up, roughly 13 puke gifs
Nothing happens -43 pages to catch up on, 19 pages puke gifs

Haha I usually have work to finish up at night so I just listen or post stuff while trying to get things done.

I don't sleep much anyway, only about 6 hrs a night.

[BurningHeart]

I wish I was on that podcast. Maybe I should make a podcast of my own.

let me go ahead and break the seal on those

The most likely scenarios for Thursday IMO:

1) No trades at all
2) Thomas/Green or Plumlee are traded
3) Dragic is traded

[tgtm_24]

Still can't work out why Dragic wouldn't want to play with Cousins

4) Regardless of outcome posters be mad
