Goran Dragic plans to test free agency; blames struggles on 3 PG system

[slinslin]

I wonder what sort of problems Dragic fascinados have that they are constantly looking for others to blame for Dragic's problems (Bledsoe, Hornacek, Thomas).

 

[sunsfan88]

Dragic and Bledsoe have both sucked.

Hypothetically, can we trade both?

 

[JCSunsfan]

The roster is just too crowded. I also think that potentially, the best pure pg on the roster is Ennis.

As much as I hate to say it, I think Goran is the most expendable, and maybe the most tradeable.

I think who gets traded depends upon which player has the most trade value.

The ONLY way Goran gets traded is if HE ask's Saver to trade him.

i think we're stuck with Bledsoe after that contract and my issue with Goran and giving him a big deal now is that he's 30 years old. By the time this team is good, he's going to be past his prime and having two big contracts for two guys that really don't compliment each other makes very little sense.

Goran's got the most value of the two and since he's going to be a FA, better now to get as much as we can for him then lose him for nothing.

pretty crappy situation overall.

If I only could I surely would although I'm not sure how we went from Bob Dylan to Peter, Paul & Mary and then Simon & Garfunkel. But regardless, it's time to Light One Candle for the Suns.

Love that song too, but it isn't Peter Paul and Mary, is it? I'm thinking Paul Simon, El Condor Pasa

This is all much more interesting than how the Suns are playing right now

 

[JCSunsfan]

About Len, How Many Roads Must a Man Walk Down, before he proves he should start? The answer, my friend is in all the blown wins.

Oh no, it's Simon. I'm just wanting the Suns to quite losing and start dishing it out.

Right now we have too many nails.

 

[devilalum]

McD needs to trade for a few more hammers.

Yep, we also have a real hazy shade of Winter hanging over this team, a bit of a funk, hopefully they can get their chemistry back soon. I actually thought Dragic and Bledsoe were good together last year

Huh, Steve? You know that Bob Dylan wrote "Blowin' In The Wind" and PP&M recorded it. That is as far as I went after watching them on a PBS 50th anniversary special, instead of watching the whole Suns game.

Then was turned into "If I had a hammer." Which was turned into "I'd rather be a hammer than a ..." It somehow lost its effect at that point.

I can see this happening although my gut feeling is the Suns would rather trade Bledsoe than Goran. Bledsoe's contract may be a problem unless the Suns know a team that really wants him.

Of course I knew that but I also knew that Pete Seeger wrote If I Had a Hammer which was also a huge hit by Trini Lopez and then we were talking Simon and Garfunkel.

I thought it was Bob Dylan?

 

[AzStevenCal]

I thought it was Bob Dylan?

The conversation bounced from Blowing in the Wind to If I Had a Hammer to El Condor Pasa. So it was Dylan, Seeger and than Simon.

"We've looked at things. But it's not like we're bad at any of the spots, we're just not great at it. But that's a possibility. As of today, we're keeping the same group in there. We'll continue to discuss that. It's all going to be if we need more energy off the bench, or if we need more energy starting, we're always looking at that stuff

OK Hornacek is really starting to piss me off.

Um yea coach we actually are pretty bad at defending and rebounding. Only thing we are "great" at is ball hogging.

Kobe Bryant is jealous of the Suns, that's how selfish this team is.

 

[WildBB]

I'm curious, what did you learn from it that you didn't already know? I think we already knew we were not a contender and that our lack of balance would be a problem in the playoffs and playoff race. I'm not really sure there was another lesson there but maybe I missed something.

Cousins is talented and he's got some talent around him too. Right now, they are reaching for lofty heights. We're struggling by all measures. And yet, we have roughly the same record as the Kings. I know I'm in the minority but I still think it's too early to bury this team. Bledsoe, despite his turnover struggles and a bad game in Denver has actually been playing pretty well for the past few weeks. If Goran can find his shot this team will start looking a lot better.

Steve

Well I've had my eyes on the centers mainly. If the Suns want to do any damage IF they make the playoffs (which is viable for this team) the area that needs the obvious MOST improvment is that position. The other areas are fairly deep in talent, WITH two talented rookies AND A. Goodwin trying to crack the lineup somehow.

With the bevy of depth that we have I was in the mindset that we possibly don't have to wait on the further development of Len and Plumlee and the inconsistency of the rebounding and inside D. THAT would go a long way in the teams development, imo.

But your looking at giving up Len, Green or Bledsoe and mtl a 1 or another role player.

You have to give to get.

Barring a miracle (Len quickly becomes superstar), I figure we're at least a few years away from contending so I wouldn't be shocked to see most of the roster turned by then.

I wanna congragulate the Suns on pissing off their best player since Nash left, the All NBA Third Team Goran Dragic. You know, the player who actually likes this team and wanted to come to PHX not just for the money, but for the city itself.

Mike Gavin @MikeGavin7
Dragic:"Every team that is going to be available is going to be an option. NY has great fan base, great bball organizations"

Ian Begley @IanBegley
Goran Dragic said before the game that he'd consider the #Knicks - and all other potential suitors - "an option" in free agency this summer.

 

[Sci Fi]

Lol at the Suns management.

I predict with Bledsoe running the show by himself the Suns will be almost last in the West next year. Going to be some ugly ISO ball.
