Thunder/TSC
Presti might have reached Clippers status at this deadline (being interested in everybody) because I saw a tweet that the Thunder weren't interested in Dragic. Like we ain't trying to figure out the whole Reggie Jackson thing already, & we just going to bring in another guy who doesn't want that role at all:pachaha:

Him ragging on the laker, heat, and knick fan bases for their projected offers is hilarious too

Those teams truly have no assets

Dragic is going to the Rockets
The Suns wanted Deng in the offseason, he's a better asset than either the Knicks or Lakers have, and the Suns don't have much leverage now. If the Rockets were on that short list, then they'd have better assets. But Sam Amick said they aren't.

I also haven't read anything about Boston being one of those teams.

Idc.

Reggie might be gone at the end of the season anyway, might as well take a gamble on Dragic.
Since we don't have a structured offense or a 2, it would work perfectly if Dragic and Westbrook work together.

They could take turns doing whatever they want, while KD is playing off both of them.

The suns could take PJ3 and Lamb along with reggie too.

Uncertain grounds

I also havent read anything about Miami being one of those teams and Boston has many more assets than Miami. PHX would be insane to take Deng. Deng has a player option for next year at 10+ AND a trade kicker in his contract. Theyd be better off just keeping Dragic and hoping for the playoffs while getting Tucker run and trading Thomas or hoping for a Dragic change of heart

I'm just reacting to what Alex Kennedy is tweeting. He mentioned Deng and that's the first time I considered it.

And it would help if we knew the other teams on the short list. I read Dragic would consider Indy too. So that leaves 3 more.

The 479
Goran
McLemore
Gay
Carl Landry/Derrick Williams:leostare:
Cousins

That ain't a terrible starting lineup. Dragic would probably leave though and that PF spot is atrocious.
