Suns News: Week 17 2/16-2/22

I like the Celts assets too. I don't think they'd give up sullinger, but I'd take Olynyk, Crowder, and Bass for Dragic and Plumlee.

[Sunsfan4life]

I don't think Crowder can be packaged. Celtics have to include a 1st...even if its not a 2016 1st, if they don't give up Sully.

We've asked Zoran to go to the D League and he refuses utterly.

What. The. Fuck.

That is true. We should have an internal policy. No more brothers combos on the same roster. Its just too easy to end up with drama. For many, they more easily take offense for their brother than they will for themselves.

Trade Mook while we are at it.

A couple of things I wanted to clarify about my position, which I think looked a little too anti-Dragic last night:

- I like Goran a lot
- I think he's a really good basketball player
- I'd like the Suns to move IT and work it out with Dragic
- I think he has every right to be very frustrated with the personnel moves from this summer
- I don't think he should have emotionally let it get to the point of no return
- If every member of the Spurs, the LeBron era Heat, the current Cavs, etc. can sacrifice a little personal glory and adjust their games for the good of the team, I don't think it's unreasonable to wonder why Dragic can't do the same if he's in a successful situation (with EB, but no IT).

Much better take.

Same take as last night. Worded differently.

[Sunsfan4life]

I think we should just have a "dragic" thread. Because right now there are 3 different threads "Suns News" "Trade deadline" and "possible places goran may go" that has info on Goran in all 3 threads.

Bad stuff coming out of practice today.

There must be quite a bit we (the fans, the media) don't know about this situation. It's no surprise that Dragic is unhappy with playing off the ball, but this sudden cornered-animal routine is shocking.

[Xylus]

It's comical to me that Goran would want to go play for the Laker shitshow. I never had him pegged for a me-me-me type of guy.

[TOO]

This is what it took for the team to say it'll go back to what worked? Incredible. McD/Babby need to get their heads outta their asses.

Green light to comment where others cannot.

I mentioned an altercation before. It may help shed some light on things on who was at the other end of it.

Also to note:

We told Goran we won't start his brother unless he deserves it. Goran is mad as I mentioned earlier we won't play his brother and tried to convince him to D League. He takes it personal.

We told him he splits PG duties at best with Bledsoe. He takes it personal.

Further:
Kings are in the mix. Celtics are in the mix. Lakers with the right package may part with their pick but it would be more than Goran going to them.

Still haven't heard anything on the Rockets about being close at all.

Further Further:
He wants LA or the Knicks because of the market. He thinks both will be PO teams soon. And lets face it they may well be with Dragic. Think of the $$$ he gets being an International player on a big market team. This is a busness. It's all about the money. Sure he wants a ring but when the difference is millions. You take the money. He's not a fan. He's a worker. It's hard for us to distinguish between the two.

[Xylus]

So basically this is all Zoran's fault.

Prima Dranna.

Jeepers...

Still don't care much for Bledsoe - this is going to be a tough transition for me (and other fans like me, I guess).

as is also said in the South, time for management to shit or get off the point re: stockpiling redundant assets ....

[specialsauce]

At least Bledsoe kept his mouth shut throughout the whole offseason

This entire situation is bizarre.

"I don't trust them anymore," Dragic said following Wednesday's practice session. "It happens too many times. Two, three times.

"They give promises, OK. It's hard. But at the same time, I wish them all the best. They were great to me the past five years. I'm always going to have a good memory about Phoenix fans and the city. I just hit that point of my career that it's better for me and my family to move on."
