so do they keep dragic for now, letting him walk later, and deal it2, or deal dragic for fuck-it reasons? or stand pat

I mean no way they deal them both if they still think that 8th seed is get-able (which it is, in theory)

you know I don't know how much those two play together? seems like it's always Favors/Kanter or Favors/Gobert

thered be a spacing issue but kanter still has more range than favors

i defo wouldnt sign dragic to a long contract. hes got some injuries, hes 28, and his game relies on driving inside and getting calls. players of his type fade hard and early. and the % of his possesions that end with free throws has already delcined this season iirc

how did the kings become the most delusional team in sports
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 18 February 2015 05:49 (nine years ago) link
i assume dragic's motive here is that he figures the lakers and knicks are the only teams with enough cap space and desperation to offer him the max this offseason and if he can get to them now he can get even more money?
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 18 February 2015 05:51 (nine years ago) link
also it seems like dragic might just dislike the US outside of metropolises with sizable euro populations? it's understandable, there can't be tons of yugoslavians in phoenix

i also don't get the rockets angle here, if dragic doesn't like playing with bledsoe and thomas why the hell would he like playing with harden?
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 18 February 2015 14:34 (nine years ago) link
seems like there's a bit of redundancy in their games as well. dragic doesn't have the same command of the long ball but, as mentioned above, both draw a lot of fts charging the paint. not sure why you'd want to distribute that same kind of thing to two guys (except i guess if it meant halving injury exposure to both by diminishing their opportunities to get busted up drawing fouls)

would watch this miami (hassan, bosh, deng, wade) team w/ goranindiana is also nice w PG back. they dont have the assets tho

So bummed abt this dragic thing
I suppose it would be correct to trade him given the other pgs his age and expiring contract but I feel like if they do it they're one Bledsoe strained shoulder away from being the Isaiah and markieff show and going 37-49 every year
Basically I want last year's Suns back with this year's markieff dammit

By Adrian Wojnarowski13 minutes agoYahoo Sports
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.
The Boston Celtics, Houston Rockets and Sacramento Kings have been initially aggressive in talks to obtain Dragic, who will be a free agent in July. Suns general manager Ryan McDonough seems determined to find a team willing to gamble on the ability to offer Dragic the most years and guaranteed money in July free agency, league sources said.
