Phoenix Suns making right decsion trying to move Dragic?

[Malta]

That run Jennings went on before he got hurt,do you think that had any effect on how Van Gundy feels about him,to where Gundy might want to see if he finally can be the PG he wants? I do agree tho Dragic>>>>Jennings.

I don't think that run really did anything, right now Augustin is putting up 20/8/3/1 on 46% since Jennings got hurt, think SVG is smart enough to realize Jennings isn't the answer at PG and his numbers were a bit inflated cause of the system which is now benefitting Augustin. If anything they need another PG now, Jennings isn't going to be the same player, he can't afford to lose a step and you know he will.

Is Exum a PG? I thought he would be better at SG.

They view him as a PG.

dragic and brandan wright for monroe and ?

I don't think the Pistons should give up anything else of value, get em to take Caron Butler and call it a day, cause the Suns are going to lose Dragic anyway so why should I have to give them anything beyond Monroe.

I don't really watch a lot of Piston games, but can Monroe run the floor, or knock down a J?

If he's one of those big, lumbering Ox type muthafukkas;Going to Phoenix is like relocating to the cemetary.

They go there to die.The Suns have been stuck on some small ball shyt since the KJ, Tom Chambers, Eddie Johnson days.

It's almost as if they can't unlearn that behavior

The Suns did a good job collecting assets the last few years hoping to trade for a star. The problem is they haven't found that star yet so they are stuck with a bunch of young players not getting playing time and a bunch of guards trying to get their own shot to prove their worth. The logjam is a mess. I would be shocked if there was no Suns trade before the deadline.

Nah Monroe is real mobile,can mix it up,good passer out the post,etc,he not just a bully type big,he a finesse big that can board and mix it up in a nutshell,really good footwork

Hope they do trade Dragic

I don't think Monroe is getting traded anywhere unless the Knicks or Lakers come through with something & neither of them really have anything outside of their picks. With him losing his Bird rights the only real teams that should trade for him are ones who are going to have a bunch of cap space this summer.

And these nikkas still in the playoffs,just goes to show how good they really could be if they get some structure and a balanced roster,I actually don't know why they didn't keep the same team from last year,they were a playoff team had Bledsoe not went down,Dragic would still be happy,could have used that money spent on Thomas elsewhere,just didn't get it,we shall see how it plays out tho.

Bledsoe is overrated and Thomas is just a gunner

Suns fukked up ever signing Thomas

Should have just rolled with Dragic & Bledsoe and looked to improve elsewhere

They have assets, but even those assets are a bit overrated.

They have TJ Warren, Tyler Ennis, Reggie Bullock, Archie Goodwin, and Alex Len.

The only decent asset in the group is Alex Len.The rest couldn't fetch you half a brick of ramen noodles right now.

What the Suns need to do is give them dudes some playing time in hopes of raising their value.OKC's coming for that 8th seed, so they might as well start playing the young guys.

They've been accumulating draft picks over the years, but they're all mid to late 1st round picks.I don't think they'll get the Lakers pick this year.The Suns are snake bitten when it comes to protected draft picks.Watch the Lakers get a top 3 pick, Julius Randle healthy, and a couple of FA's this summer.That pick could very easily end up another mediocre mid to late 1st rounder next year.

So they have a bunch of assets, but the value is kinda weak.They're like Pacers west, but they haven't got lucky and found a Paul George with one of their mediocre 1st round picks yet

Plus he is not a good shooter. I'm a Suns fan I would rather keep Dragic. If I was the GM I would trade IT and Plumlee for Enes Kanter. Then Bledsoe would be moved for a true SG or SF.

The funny thing about that trade is if Utah did it they'd have three point guards in dragic, burke and exum and have the same problem Phoenix did.

You guys are wild... Bledsoe is already under a long term concert so he must stay.. And he's the best of the 3 and the second youngest.. He's a elite defender and his game is clearly getting better yearly(I'm a clipper fan so I remember 2 seasons ago he was scared to shoot a fukkin wide open jumper) Thomas is most expendable but they wouldn't deal him and risk dragic going elsewhere via free agency.. U guys gotta stop thinkin like a 2k gm.. It's like on 2k you can offer bron for anything even on the last year of a deal.. In real life it doesn't work that way.. It's all about assets.. Dragic is 30.. He knows he won't see any of that tv money in 2 years and he knows the suns won't have playoff success the way there team is setup.. So he clearly gone get traded to a non contender and cash out or go somewhere and play that 6th man role.. Which he should honestly.. Don't be surprised to see him in Philly or with the Knicks or the lakers next year.. Truly doubt he gets moved this year.. He just gone suffer till exit

Call up the Lakers tell em you will give them Dragic and Thomas for there unprotected 1st round pick.
The Lakers are desperate and Kobe only got 1 year left and maybe a roster of Dragic, Tobe, (free Agent) , Randle, (free agent maybe LMA or Gasol) and Thomas, Swaggy P as there 6th and 7th man can have them believe they can compete for a tittle.

 

[tr2k]

other than dragic, the suns greatly overachieved. this isn't 2010 OKC with budding superstars on the come up.

unless they get melo or love, they're gonna be a lottery team next year.

Once again, you are basing that on absolutely nothing other than your hate and wishful thinking. You also wont find anyone that knows a thing about basketball agree with you. Every aspect that can contribute to a bright future is there for Phoenix. They are on the come up. Dallas and Memphis will be lottery teams again before Phoenix.
