Yes, Darren Collison would be the perfect stop-gap point guard that we desperately need on this team. I would even throw in the MIL pick.
I think collison would be great, but he’d only be here half a season. I wouldn’t give up a pick for that. An Ariza-Collison swap straight up should be plenty fair.

Dragic? Days of Future Past. No thank you. He would be injured most of his time here.
What happened to our vaunted training staff? TJ Warren is missing like 20 games a year with mystery ailments. Booker is good to miss a chunk of time too. I guess the mystique has worn off.

I still think goran dragic is the only thing that can right this ship.
Not Lonzo?
And lets stop with the Dragic suggestions. He’s not good anymore, he’s old, always hurt, and gets paid 19 million next year. Hard pass. Unless miami is taking Anderson back.

They were always better at rehabbing chronic issues. Helped Shaq get his butt muscles working, helped hill overcome his ankle issues, Michael redd I think? Booker and warren just keep getting little acute issues.

Plus, it's assuming he would want to come back to this mess, especially after he got crapped on twice.

I too think that this is not our x-factor anymore. Lately, injuries have hit our squad by storm and I guess our training staff got used to tanking too.

I mean, they ain't dipping these dudes in the River Styx. No matter how great your training staff is, injuries are still going to happen. That's just... part of sports. And life!

Would have to include a 4th team. No chance we want knight back. Is Atlanta hoping for cap space next season? Something like Ariza to LA, KCP to Houston, Knight to Atlanta and Lin to Phoenix. Houston and LA also send out draft picks. Maybe we get the LA 1st, Atlanta gets Houston 1st and our 2nd.

Sure, the more teams you add the more complicated it gets. However the trade I mentioned would work. Ariza at 15 million, Knight at 14.6 million, Lin at 13.8 million, and KCP at 12 million. Salaries are all really close and can be traded for each other.

I'm just saying I would throw in the pick if I had to. It would be worth it if it helps keep Booker from wanting out and/or some free agents to look at us more seriously, if we can stop the bleeding this season and start winning a few games.

If this wasn't a LA reporter , I would believe this was just a report to make it seem like Suns actually trying to get good players

If we end up trading for KCP, so help me, I'm out for the season.

Ingram, Kuzma, Lonzo or Hart no available for Ariza? No shit. Just give me expiring crap and a lotto protected 1stR and be done with it. Again, so I can trade that pick or MIL's for Dinwiddie in peace.

KCP can veto his trades and he'd probably veto the shit out of a trade that sends him to the Suns.
