The official countdown til Dragic thread.

This year nothing will happen... I do hope we are aggressive in free agency though with the main targets being a veteran PG and a wing shooter. There are some options in the less than max players that I think could be had. I think Dragic will have so many suitors that we won't have a shot... I'll bet Phoenix has to max him, in which case either Bledsoe or Thomas would be available. I'd prefer Thomas because of his contract and Bledsoe seems to always be hurt.

Looking at trends, the odds of Jazz finishing below the Lakers are vanishingly small. I doubt this would factor into their decision logic at all.

Phoenix are getting the Lakers pick if it is outside of the top 5. Handing us Dragic would make us much better and the chances that we finish below LA would be very low. Not only would Phoenix be giving up their best player, they would also make it less likely that they`ll get the Lakers pick.

One injury could change everything. When you have a chance to get a pick in that range, you don't make moves that could cause that pick to drop significantly in value the next year. This is an almost perfect scenario for a lightly protected pick. You want the other team to be right on the edge of keeping it. You never know where that pick might be the next year, as we Jazz fans know all too well. It might be different if the suns were contending, but they'll be lucky to sneak in. If there's any chance at all, they want that pick to be conveyed this year.

I'm sure letting Dragic walk for nothing is not what they want. I think thta he will be moved somewhere.

Maybe, but it's not likely he'll be moved to one of the few teams that could bump that pick back to them. Also, his unrestricted status would limit his value considerably. If they feel they have any chance to re-sign him, that's worth betting on compared to what he'd bring back in a rental.
 
I haven't been able to watch much NBA this season but it seems like Goran's value has dropped a ton? His assists are in the toilet. Is that a product of the system and not him?
 
He's not handling the ball, Bledsoe is. So, the Suns are not using his skills to best advantage. They should make Bledsoe the off guard, but you know Horny is the coach, and I think Horny knows what he is doing, and I'd be reluctant to second guess him.

I would laugh so hard if the Jazz DID make a trade for Dragic...and then we found out it was for Zoran.

You're a downer. If this entire forum can go Wiggins crazy for an entire year. I can hope to trade for a PG for a few weeks. Believe brother.

Thanks. Kinda wishing I hadn't asked now. Got anything against photos of hot girls with the #8 painted on their body? Might give me more hope. . .
 
Hearing Suns want a first-rounder for Goran Dragic and, rest assured, they'll get it. Rockets got to be tempted.

Kanter is better than a late first round pick.
