Trade talks & rumors

[Mainstreet]

OKC getting Brook Lopez, just in case there was any doubt that OKC would pass us in the standings regardless.

The rich getting richer.

At this point I would deal everyone but Len, Warren & Ennis and start from scratch. I would check to see if DEN would be willing to trade Faried for the Morris twins straight up. I would check if CLE was willing to trade Irving for Bledsoe (hopefully Lebron can help us with that). If we can't get either Faried or Irving I would still ship everyone out to improve our chances at Okafor or Johnson in the draft. Maybe deal Bledsoe to LA instead of Dragic. This current team is beyond saving as the players are all toxic.

There is no shot at a title for this season.

Wait, that needed to be stated explicitly?

ESPN reporting Heat's pitch for Goran Dragic is Norris Cole, Josh McRoberts, Birdman and two first-round picks.

Hmmmm....

 

[95pro]

Wish deng was in that group. Miami getting rid of junk while getting our best pg.

 

[Mainstreet]

Hmmmm....

How about we get Whiteside in that deal.

 

[Mainstreet]

Sam Amick keeps talking about Andre Miller on twitter. It's starting to drive me crazy.

 

[AzStevenCal]

How about we get Whiteside in that deal.

He can't be traded yet.

[sunsfan88]

Both Birdman and McRoberts have bad contracts.

 

[Mainstreet]

He can't be traded yet.

Of course. It's the Suns luck.

 

[slinslin]

Well the first round picks are merely making up for taking those contracts in return so no way I do that deal.

1. Picks would have to be completely unprotected
2. 3rd team would have to take McRoberts and Birdman for an expiring contract
3. 4th team would have to take Cole for something..

Miami's offer for Dragic via @IraHeatBeat very strong. Heat's two No. 1s would be in '17 and '19 if they lose this year's pick to Philly.

 

[CardsFan88]

FWIW, ESPN will be having a NBA draft deadline program on in 1/2 an hour, for the last hour leading up to the deadline.

Kevin Garnett is going back home.

Kevin Garnett agrees to waive his no-trade and will move to Minnesota for Thad Young, league source tells Yahoo Sports. @daldridgetnt 1st.

Lakers remain engaged with Suns on Dragic, but doesn't sound promising. They've discussed the 1st they got from Houston & other assets

Sounding like it's down to Miami for Dragic.

 

[Covert Rain]

Ramona Shelburne ‏@ramonashelburne 12s12 seconds ago

Sounds like teams definitely want Goran but someone please step up with a great offer. There has to be a 3 way trade or something out there that can be done.

There will be no great offers. Teams can sign him outright next summer and pay him less. If they can get a pick and an expiring contract for Dragic, they need to do it now.

Phoenix is finalizing a deal to send Goran Dragic to the Miami Heat, league source tells Yahoo Sports.

 

[Phrazbit]

NBAtv reporting Goran to Miami.

 

[CardsFan88]

The Lakers don't really have anything. Just the removal of top 5 protection, which for me, isn't enough considering we already own a pick of theirs. Any other pick would have to after an off year.

So if we end up getting say Lakers pick in 2016, any first round pick included for the Dragic deal, wouldn't be until 2018.

edit: nvm.

Phoenix is trading Goran Dragic to Miami, two sources confirm. Multiple picks, players coming back.

 

[StreetTruckinTitan]

Sucks that goran hamstringed the Suns during this process. Lost alot of respect for him over the last two days.
