I will just leave this here for anybody interested in any news about the team at all..Mori Chu wrote: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 like the MoBros, but not enough to go out of my way to keep them together.Superbone wrote:Here's an idea that excites INF: Have the Morris Bros retire as Suns.

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.Shabazz wrote:I like Markieff (somewhat at least), but I'm not a Marcus fan. Completely replaceable player, IMO.

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.INFORMER wrote:Dragic interview:
