I shit you not, 2K15 did that exact play on me in the playoffs...
It was like that game was spitting in my face.
Haven't played it since.

He could get paid more by staying in Phoenix. He wants to be famous and/or play in a big market.
Edit:
Marc Stein just pointed out that if he gets traded before the deadline his new team would inherit his bird rights and be able to offer him the full five year max. I guess I forgot about that.
Thomas will get sent to the Celtics for a sack of potatoes.

Dragic trade happening seems like he hates playing off the ball with Bledsoe running the point.
That award will always belong to the 2007 Mavericks.

Suns really to blame here. They chose Bledsoe coming off injury over Dragic who was playing like an all star candidate without any decent centers.
Not if the Dubs lose to the Thunder!

The Knicks should give up this years first round pick for Dragic.
As a Mavs fan, I have to disagree. We had no business losing to GS in the first round. OKC beating GS isn't really an upset to the same degree.
lol hell no. Dragic holds all the cards here. They can just wait for him.
But trading away all of your assets worked with Carmelo!
It doesn't matter what they do. Knicks with Melo on the roster ain't winning shit.

Pacers, Heat, and the Kings are teams that lack an all star caliber PG that can use him to get over. Said before Dragic and PG backcourt would rule the East. Heat need some quality point guard play and with him they can lock up the playoff spot and be a legit contender. Dragic-Wade-Bosh-Deng-Whiteside. Heat fans should be excited have legit chance at winning East. Kings could use him, but I think they could get Ty Lawson if they wanted for cheaper trade assets and he knows Karl's system inside and out. Dragic can truly shift the power of the East, if he lands in Miami no way Hawks beat the Heat if they are 8th. My raps as well. This is truly a scary thought.
Fuck going to the Lakers or Knicks. Dude hasn't seen playoff action since riding Nash's Suns run.

I don't honestly think they should give up this years first for him but I also don't think they can expect to get him next year. They'll have plenty of competition and whoever ends up trading for him will have the ability to offer him an extra year and $20 million. Even Phoenix could just keep him, call his bluff and offer him the full max.
The Lakers would be in a pretty good place if they got Dragic. They would have the cap space to get another good player and then have the ability to go after a player like Durant in 2016.

Fuck this all star break is long.
Dragic overshadowed by an injured point guard. Where have I heard this before.. You'd think GMs would learn from history.
He'd have to commit to a long term contract. He wants top dollars and is willing to play for a scrub team like the Knicks. That shows were his head is at. I'd rather trade for Lawson who would be under their control for the next few years at reasonable money.

I've always said I liked Lee as a player just hated his contract. But in this case, it seems like he's the only piece worth moving. Speights has made him redundant and they just don't play well together (nor has he really ever played well with Bogut). Lee for KG straight would be my wishlist move at this point (The money works. Lee is an expiring trade chip at this season and still a productive player when given minutes). KG of course would mesh better with our bigs, bring some defensive presence, high IQ ball movement and hit the occasional wing jumper. Of course I doubt the Nyets would make that trade. Honestly, the best thing that can happen to the dubbs would be for Iggy to start hitting 3's and be more of a scoring threat or if Barnes somehow emerges. The team needs a consistent 3rd scorer either from deep or near the basket. I feel like we have players on the roster that could step into that role easily...

yea but isnt Dragic an expiring? I mean, we really don't have much in the way of players to trade but they might take a bit of garbage to not walk away having nothing to show for Dragic.
at least that's what i hope
He's an expiring and yet these are the teams who are in pursuit of him:
Lakers
New York
Miami
Boston
Sacramento
Houston
The latter three weren't even mentioned as being on 'the list'. McD has been incompetent in constructing Phoenix's guard lineup, but there are teams willing to give him non-garbage for Dragic's Bird rights.

The heck is wrong with Larry Sanders?
He doesn't care about basketball and now can achieve his dream of opening a weed dispensary.

Leaving 21 million?! damn.. He's definitely not being blunt about his intentions of gtfo of Milwaukee.

Would be a formidable team offensively. Kings with any backcourt help would be dangerous.
Danny is not going to make a deal *just* for Dragic, either he has a plan for 2-3 big swoops or he will continue gaining assets. But just getting Dragic and going for that elusive 7-8th eastern playoff spot is not really his interest
It could all just be a ruse to drive the price for Dragic up, with no interest from them

Agreed. Just a bit more consistent scoring from our wings other than Klay would be nice.

If Miami comes out of the other end of this trade deadline without so much as a minor upgrade in PG then Riley done fucked up.

fuck me, if all those players are healthy and have some games together under their belt before the playoffs that team could make it out of the first round, maybe even to the ECF.
nothing, not even decent picks. just let me dream about having an average-to-above-average PG on this team dont ruin this for me
