1.5 hours until IT gets shipped for garbage. A ford Pinto, a Chevy Suburban, and a GMC Jimmy.

Do you not know how negotiating works? The Suns can give Goran the most money, if they choose to. Caving to a trade demand and letting an asset go for cents on the dollar sends a MASSIVE message to the rest of the league on how Phoenix operates.

Someone PLEASE photoshop this, with Duffy as Palpatine in the background.

How pissed off is Sarver right now? I can picture him stomping around the office :lol:

Lol, this is asinine... The sooner Robert Sarver sells this team, the better. He may be an owner, so his interests are obviously put on display, but as a fan I have to say that it's an embarrassment to be a fan of the Phoenix Suns. Dragic has gone out of his way to hurt the franchise, sell him for peanuts and move along. Because at the end of the day, peanuts is far more than we'll get this summer when he walks for nothing.

When you make a decision rooted in emotion, like Robert Sarver is about to do, you send the message that you have the capacity to let your heart/emotions win out. Not good for business. Not good for anyone.

maybe we make the POs if he stays.

then in the offseason we trade him to the Lakers for two second round picks which McD uses to grease the wheels in a trade that rips of Doc Rivers or Vivek.

i'm a suns fan. i come from where hopeless hope gets made.

why would Lakers need make a trade? There's no more advantages for S&T for a player anymore.

Let's all form a mob at Sarvers house if Dragic doesn't get traded

I'm kinda serious too

We are all so quick to call people idiots, speculate about implied locker room cancer(s), etc.

We might as well start publishing a Phoenix Suns edition of "US Weekly" for chrissakes.....

I actually appreciate Sarver's position. It syncs with the long-term game plan and the Suns remain in a position of leverage come off-season as the only team to be able to offer that 5th year and 7.5% increases.

Dragic can position all he wants, if the Suns hold onto him, he'd be stupid not to consider a lucrative 5 year deal. It would mean an extra 15-18m.

Still, one would think he could have handled this process better. He said what he said.

Dragic is not worth that and HE DOESN'T WANT TO BE HERE. This is lunacy.

Ugh this is beyond stupid. Heir to Nash? What is going on. If that were true, why the hell did you get Eric Bledsoe in the first place? You think Steve Nash would ever want to play in a lineup with another point guard that wants to hold the ball just as much as he does. Imagine a team that would play Nash, Kidd, and Jason Williams all at the same time. Makes absolutely no sense. You only need one of them and then a real shooting guard next to him. This is absurd.

#lakerfans

its reality bro, we couldn't do a S&T with Howard either to Hou so it is what it is and if you're gona keep Dragic to spite his request, he wouldn't feel any obligations to do you guys any favors either.
