You're a little late to the party, RW. Or as Carey would have said:
Well. I just keep checking in every once-in-a-while now to see if something has happened with Eric. The NBA is practically dead at this point. Everyone is on vacation. Suppose I should expect nothing until early October.
This is the one narrow window where the NBA is pretty quiet. And even now there is USA basketball and occasional FA news. It is truly a year round sport.

I will just leave this here for anybody interested in any news about the team at all..
And remember, "the final 3 minutes of games" isn't always clutch time. Sometimes it's garbage time.

The fact that they want to stay together should give the Suns a negotiating edge with contracts. It is much harder for a team to trade for, or sign two brothers as free agents.
RealGM: I heard about the restrictions from the Suns for you to play five international friendly games under 25 minutes in each. What is your opinion about some of NBA GMs intentions to prohibit their players to play for their national teams?
Dragic: I understand them. They pay me a lot of money and they are scared. Last year I had many troubles with my ankles. I twisted my left ankle six times. They are a little bit nervous but at the end, it is always nice to play for the national team. Every organization has a different opinion. Me and the Suns, we made an agreement and that was great.
RealGM: Is it difficult to negotiate with an NBA team on the terms of playing for the national team?
Dragic: It is difficult because on one side you have an organization that is paying you and on the other side, you have your people. I always like to play for my people, the national team and it is tough. But I think if you sit down and you talk with them, you can make an agreement. That’s why I’m really happy and grateful for the Phoenix Suns. They allowed me to play and I think I can gain more experience here. Also I can get in better shape for the next year.

We are so lucky to have this guy. Especially after we discarded him the first time.
