4 picks? Lakers draft picks will be low. Nothing to get excited over. Especially 2 2nd rounders.

$8.5mil over 4yrs for Dragic isnt back breaking. Thought dude was seeking $10mil per? Lost why Houston didnt keep him unless he wanted to be with Phx.

it's really $30 million with all-star incentives that can go up to $34 million. that's no easy task with a heavy guard-centric western conference. so ya, great deal. i've been a big fan of dragic (think i even argued with you about it once )

it sounds like houston just didn't feel they got good return for lowry or they just feel lowry's contract has good value (which is also true imo). one thing players might be overlooking: escrow tax. these deals aren't as big as they seem on paper. lots of it will be taken back for the team down the line. gonna have to look up larry coon for the details but he thinks it could be a big deal. another thing about this CBA is all the teams trying to backload and nail the original teams on luxury tax. sort of a loophole but i guess they knew it was coming, lol

houston still really needs to make a move. scola, martin or a couple of their forwards need to go. they're deep but they need to get a perennial all-star

In: Dragic, Beasley, 4 picks
Out: Nash

Good day. Very excited.

this

Dont forget Kendall Marshall and possibly Eric Gordon!

Im so happy for the Suns and Nashy. We're finally moving on and immediately transiting into one of the brighter young teams

Baby-Nash showed some flashes of a young Manu in his first go round with the Suns.

He'll always be a favorite from what he did to the Sterns in the playoffs the year they swept... Almost as good as a title.

Now with Dragic and Marshall do we move Aaron Brooks to SG?

The exciting thing about them is they can be used in a sign n trade with new orleans for gordon

and yet PHX still traded him PLUS a 1st round pick for brooks

i'll never understand that but congrats on getting him back i guess. that said, i think brooks is a bench guy - sort of an undersized louis williams or a young jason terry. he can help a good team out. hell, NY, boston, LA, etc would all get a big boost.

Now with Dragic and Marshall do we move Aaron Brooks to SG?

brooks is way too small to play SG. he needs to be a PG off the bench which is why i think he's on the way out. kind of awkward overall. PHX needs to move on/ignore brooks

I don't mind seeing him go, he didn't even play one game for us last year he was too busy in China. Send him to New Orleans as part of the S&T for Gordon.

Bingo.

Brooks is a fine trade asset.

[wagexslave]

Bingo.

Brooks is a fine trade asset.

And getting rid of his salary would only give us even more room to make moves. Any PF's out there we can sign for cheap? Humphries maybe?

Yup that would do more to help the suns than he has done since we got him. I dont care if he ever comes back

I think Morris has a good chance of being a solid starter.
He has shown that much to me.
