Unleash the Dragon

Would be cool to get McRoberts and Cole for Dragic and Plumlee.  Miami probably wouldnt part with McRoberts but is expendable with Whiteside coming on

With two days left before deadline it was nice for him to come out with this demand.

I used to really like Dragic but have now lost respect for him.  Look at what teams he has listed – big city attention seeker and not really interested in joining a contending team.  Miami are getting older and older with more miles, LA and Knicks both are the worst teams in the league with crippling contracts of melo and kobe.

The Suns were willing to ship out Thomas to lock up Dragic and this is how he repays them.  Those teams have barely any decent trade assets besides draft picks. The Lakers and Knicks are not going to give away a top5 lotto pick from this years draft and Miami don’t have a first rounder.

 Would love to see him go to LA.. But the Knicks may have the better package with Hardway, Early and maybe Wear.

It is a shame, but Phoenix have done it to themselves and I don’t usually side with players who say they want out I do in this case.

Getting Bledsoe was one thing, but I think Dragic showed what he could do as the lead PG when Bledsoe was out and I never understood adding Thomas who IMO is a starting PG as well.

Phoenix is by no means out of the play-off race with trading Dragic as I think Bledsoe will benefit as much as Dragic will from him moving on. They need to get a good return for Dragic and I think they should till look for a big man who can be a rim protector.

They have a lot of guys on the wing in Green, Tucker, Marcus Morris, Warren, Goodwin and Thomas/Bledsoe at certain points. I am not sure that either Lakers, Heat or Knicks have that to offer so it’ll be interesting to see what they come up with. Knicks and Lakers will not part with their lottery picks and Heat could be convinced for top 10 protected, but what else.

The best teams IMO would be looking at Detroit for Monroe (if they think they’ll lose him), Roy HIbbert (not an amazing athlete, but can change shots) and Derrick Favors (Kanter and Gobert front court, could sort each others short coming and Utah get a guy to immediately put them in play-off contention)

It doesn’t matter where he WANTS to go, it’s who has the best trade package.

Knicks can offer a few pieces, Celtics some draft picks.  Miami and Lakers can offer f all, so keep dreaming.

 He was fantastic last year and the Suns made some questionable moves.  He is overall a smarter player than Bledsoe (may not be as athletic), because the systems works with him as a cog.  Why would you sign other PGs?  Didn’t they also draft Ennis?  Doesn’t make much sense to me.

I’d trade MCW for him.  I think he’s that good.  I think he’d love playing in Philly directing traffic with all these young guys.  I think Brett Brown would love having him as a floor general because the guy knows how to play.

I’d to MCW for Dragic.  MCW may have more years ahead of him, but I don’t think he’ll ever reach Dragic potential.

 Suns can offer interesting packages.  They could offer both Dragic bros for someone better in return. i would be knocking on all doors.  Offer them to Bulls for Jimmy Butler.  Even a crazy trade would be Dragic Bros and Lakers owed pick for Jose Calderon and unprotected Knicks pick this year.

Suns should trade Dragic to the Lakers. Lakers will accquire Dragic then start winning some games, giving Phoneix the Lakers pick outside of the Top 5

 Ennis better get in the gym now!!

 It is hard to work out trades with Knicks and Lakers, and Heat don’t have the right contracts.

But Dragic has shown people can go back home again, and maybe he will do it again.  Phoenix, Houston, Phoenix, Houston.  The Rockets have the assets to trade.

To Phoenix, the Pelicans first rounder the Rockets own plus ending deals of Terry and K Papa.

To Houston, Dragic and the Dragic brother and M Plumlee too.

Rockets get their starting point guard and can move Beverley to the bench, and Rockets can size and defense to use behind Howard.

Phoenix get a first round pick for Dragic who could go for nothing soon, and they have talked about moving Plumlee as well.  The Suns don’t add salary, just a good draft pick, and don’t have to worry about too many point guards again.

Houston have incentive to trade as Knicks and Lakers don’t.  They want Dragic for the future, and also as an upgrade now to try to win everything this season.  Dragic, Harden, Ariza, DoMo and Howard starting plus Beverly, Smith, Jones, Brewer, Plumlee, Shved, Dorsey off the bench would be a contender.

Pretty clear he wants to be the starting point guard. To me Isiah Thomas is not a guy that helps you win,he gives you an illusion of being good but he’s not. Just referring to the DeMarcus Cousins comments on Darren Collison where he said something close to “wow it’s cool to have a point guard who passes the ball”. I understand Dragic’s frustration and I don’t know how asking for a trade so your team gets something in return is worse than leaving for nothing in FA. Like .Love in Minny instead of playing the season while still putting up his stats,he “gave” his former team that Andrew Wiggins guy,while leaving one year sooner to a contender,and his former team starting the rebuilding process one year earlier. What’s wrong with that?
