Official Trade Thread: How to Trade Your Dragon

[King4Day]

I'm surprised Gerald and Plum have not been dealt yet. I will be so disappointed if we don't air out that locker room a bit.

If not for this Dragic mess, I bet we'd be dealing both. That changed everything.

[Revived]

IT almost as many PPG and APG as dragic and a higher PIE % with 12 compared to his Dragic 10%

Empty? Werent we winning when he was back from injury?

NOT TOO MENTION THAT IT IS A BENCH PLAYER!!!!!!!!!!!

All that and yet teams would rather trade for a Goran Dragic that is on an expiring contract than an Isaiah Thomas that's on a locked and loaded contract.

Why is that?

Have you talked to the teams? Have they came out and said that?

As mentioned above IT is a 6th man bench player! Teams who are looking are looking for a starting PG

Dragic wanted out so thats why teams are interested and he is a starting PG!

20 mil Dragic as starting Guard or 7 mill (whatever IT is ) for IT as a bench and providing offense!

Keep Bledsoe get a 3 and D SG and Harris or free agent wing, fill the Void PF and develop Len!

Dude get with reality, IT wants to start and is not happy as the 6th man.

Afflalo to Portland. Woj bomb.

Perhaps not willing to pay market for Wes Matthews in the summer?

[pidi]

and nothing will happen

[STEV13]

It turns out it is no coincidence that Dragic looks quite similar to Hayden Christensen.

Damn I was just watching American Heist a while ago and thought of the exact same thing.

[Revived]

There's no reason to trade them at all.

We don't know what we don't know.

They both seem pretty vocal, Marcus could be the one bitching and dragging the locker room down.

It's pretty evident that it's Dragic.

It's been anything but "evident".

[pidi]

2 hours left?

[Heat_Fan_87]

Trade IT to Miami for two first round picks.

Then trade Goran to Houston for Motiejunas & Pelicans pick.

Morey should have the balls to roll the dice on Goran.

You think two will get it done? miami might have to make it 3 first rounders.

I don't think the Heat even have 3 first rd picks to trade.

wow. ok.

I am getting with reality! He isnt starting and playing an offense role!

[Barkley6]

yeah seems pretty simple to me. **** if the best deal is some picks a few years from now from from Miami take it. The only trade that would be worse than just keeping him is taking a bad contract back.

Or ship the other 2 PGs out for better deals and give the keys to Dragic. Bledsoe could bring a stud frontcourt player back and Thomas for his contract could also bring more than a Dragic rental.

You really want the Suns to cater to a 28 year old combo guard, who has never been an all-star, and needs certain players and complete control of the offense for him to average 20 and 6? You also want to see him on a 5 year max contract? Because from the sounds of it, that is what it will take to get him to stay in Phoenix.

I don't know about you, but I don't want the Suns to be known as a franchise that caves to its players when they decide to throw tantrums. If the Suns move Bledsoe and Thomas, what happens if Dragic bails in the offseason? We would be left with Tyler Ennis as the only point guard on the roster. I want Dragic and Thomas both gone.

People have this strange perception that the Suns will get a reputation as team that does blah blah blah. They won't, or they won't care. Did the fact that the Knicks and Nets have a reputation of spending tons of money to win nothing keep guys like DWill, Amare, Melo, Garnett, Pierce, Lopez, etc. from signing there? NOPE. Heck, even now Dragic is saying he wants to play for the **** that is the Knicks. The only reputation that can hurt your team is if you're cheap. No one wants to play for someone if they think they aren't going to get paid. Money talks.

[toucansma]

Here is an idea for the Suns. Trade IT, then move Dragic to Point, and Eric to SG. Everyone already thinks Eric is always mad/upset so no one will know the difference if he hates it and pouts. Win Win

[rottenbanana36]

The more I think about it the more I want this team blown up. It was always going to be a longer rebuild process.. we just got lucky and had an overachieving year last year. Pick your building blocks and grow with them which I think are Bledsoe, Len and Warren.. possibly Archie but I'm not sure.

You can understand there are going to be trades that don't make sense in the team forums. No need to get worked up unless it's in the NBA forum.

A reason getting another lottery pick isn't the worst thing.

Every draft, even the 2003, is a crapshoot from the 10th pick and up.

Last year was solid through the teens, I thought.

More 18-19 year old potential being hyped

Where's Vivek when you need him? C'mon, do something stupid.

[ImNotMcDiSwear]

I think about this. Not trading Dragic now would be similar to trading him directly to the Lakers for nothing.
