The One And Only Offseason Thread 5: Dinnertime!

Did u guys see this?

Goran Dragic - G - Suns
The Pacers reportedly offered Roy Hibbert, Chris Copeland, and some cash for Goran Dragic.
The move makes sense for Indiana after likely losing Paul George for the entire 2014-15 season. However, according to Dragic, Phoenix is not interested in taking the deal. As of right now, it appears that nothing is imminent.

Yeah I think Traxxe poured cold water on this as soon as it came up.

That trade sounds sketch.
Is that offer made before or after paul George went down?

Losing George and trading Hibbert for dragic (who will opt out next year)
Seems foolish by Indiana. If they trade Hibbert they are going to want some type of asset or assets.

From phx side of it no thanks.

There was a simliar deal before PG went down but Traxxe made it clear we put down the phone as soon as Dragic's name was uttered

I don't think Indy offering Hibbert was so far fetched. Even if Dragic left, they would be out of the remainder of Hibbert's deal at least.

It's completely realistic Indy had offered Hibbert after his no-show Post-January 2014. I think they would've tried to sell him high while he's still technically an All-star and All-NBA defensive 2nd teamer.

I'm getting a serious Semi-Pro vibe from the Suns ones. I'm not sure if I like it though.

Not crazy about the unis but the court and logos are pretty nice. I agree we need to go back to purple instead of blue-purple

JTrain · Post #251 » by **JTrain** » Mon Aug 11, 2014 2:24 am

The current color is technically more blue than purple.

They aren't going to change the purple guys. I like the current stuff.

It's funny that I was thinking the exact opposite. I like the uniforms more than the court and the logos. I really am not a huge fan of our new uniforms and I do agree with you on needing to go back to purple. We need more purple all around in my opinion.

free agents or trades, I should have said. rigged trades like Gasol, and almost CP3.

So do owners of the other teams love Lakers so much that they are making trades favoring them? Or mayby the league forces them to do that? Even though NBA blocked that CP3 trade.
Suns got Bledsoe for Dudley. Is that rigged? Or trading Hedo's horrible contract for Gortat and Carter's massive expiring.
Market size affects free agency to some extent but anyway players usually go where they can get the biggest money.

And where they can win the most.

Whatever the reason, Phoenix isn't attracting these bigger guys unfortunately. The last trade deadline and now this offseason have been pretty underwhelming really.

And now the Bledsoe thing on top of it. Although he would be overpaid, the Suns might as well give him a little more money because it looks doubtful that the Suns are going to attract the top notch players in the league.

New court and unis are terrible. I have yet to buy attire with the look. I wonder how the sales are going. I would think bad. Home jerseys are so ugly. No purple whatsoever

I really came around to the unis. Still think they should do away with the random butt stripe though. Other than that, I think they're nice.

At the minimum, they're much better than the last generation.

I really like the look. Know what's weird? No one complained about the lack of orange on the last uniform design.

I agree. Outside of the nostalgia, I really don't care about the purple. Orange and black is fine by me.
