Potential Zoran signing

[Ronin]

Zoran Dragic appears headed to Phoneix on two-year guaranteed deal, I'm told, to join brother Goran. No options. @HCanPelister reported 1st.

Marc Stein ‏@ESPNSteinLine 2m ESPN sources say Zoran Dragic's forthcoming deal w/Phoenix will be two-year guaranteed pact believed to be in excess of $2 mil. No options

Too many guards. And I don't see the Suns doing this just to get in good favor with Goran. Goran has already stated that he wants to remain a Sun.

There HAS to be a trade coming.

 

[Griffin]

It's not a significant amount of money even with the second year guaranteed. Goran might have re-signed either way, but why not help out a bit if it doesn't really cost anything but the 15th roster spot. But I do hope both of them realize that there really won't be any playing time for Zoran on this team given its current makeup.

This is what I expect.

Blasphemy! This is the Phoenix Suns! Right, BC?

Per Marc Stein:

Marc Stein@ESPNSteinLine
One source familiar w/deal says Zoran Dragic gets two-year pact worth $3.5 million from Suns, which helps cover Malaga buyout comfortably

Ok Nostradamus who's going out?

Can't be Bledsoe or Dragic and there really isn't another guard that would get anything worthwhile in return.

Assets come in all sizes. The Suns just happen to be better at collecting guards.

I'm certainly no Nostradamus. Just guessing, but Ennis and Green are certainly good candidates. I do not want Goodwin to be a throw-in.

We're quite solid at the 1-2-3 positions. I can only hope McDonough is working down the line.

Yeah, they have value but even together the Suns would be lucky to get a marginal big for Ennis and Green. Does trading Green for another Tolliver level player really make the Suns a better team?

Now if they're willing to throw in the Lakers pick they might get something better but not an All Star.

I think they're done for now.

I think the Suns would be happy to get a first round draft pick for Ennis. With the Suns collecting all these guards I can't help but think that McDonough has something in mind. I think trading Green for a mediocre big is the wrong way to go. The Suns may be wanting to collect draft picks so they can go after bigs in the next draft.

Ennis for a pick makes sense. I don't see how him riding the bench doing nothing all year helps anybody.

More on Zoran Dragic from Paul Coro. It looks like he may be here for the start of Suns training camp.

After this summer, the rights to Bogdan also have value. There are alot of assets the Suns could throw around. Honestly the best trade piece the Suns have will not be available for a few months. That is IT. I would think that Houston and the Lakers would be very interested.

Bledsoe probably wouldn't mind being traded to the Lakers either. I am sure the Lakers were hoping they would be able to pick up Eric next summer. Now they actually have to give up something of value for him if they want him.

There do not look like many trade opportunities available that provide us much better prospects than we have now. Its probably better to focus on who we want than who we want to trade away.

I really can't see the Suns flipping Thomas after he signed a GREAT contract and seems to really want to be here. That's just bad PR.

My inside sources say Plumlee, Len and Ennis in a three way trade with the Bucks and Raptors. We get Lou Williams and Brandon Knight, Raptors get Ennis, and the Bucks get Len/Plumlee plus a Raptors pick. My sources are cats.

Agreed. I could see us moving some combination of Tucker (when it's allowed), Goodwin, Ennis and Green but I think the rest of the roster likely lasts through the year.

Interesting, my sources are saying that the Suns plan on upgrading the Roster to all guards through various trades. They insist that guards sitting on guards shoulders can match up with any center in the league.

Excuse me.....my sources are giving me an update.....it's kind of crowded in my head with all these voices.

You can't stop the signal. They can never stop the signal. But maybe you can get Mr Universe to re-route it.

I get my best advice from cats. I suggest you find some better informed cats.

Mine are planning to become player agents.

Three words:

Tin foil hat.

 

[JCSunsfan]

You don't make trades because you have assets. You make trades because you have an opportunity to get a difference maker.

I don't see any difference makers available for trade or otherwise anywhere in the league right now.
