Well to get Dragic it would cost either Lin or Hill + Rockets first. Couldn't get it done any other way. So we'd be half way there.
Lin would make more sense for Suns, a PG to hold team over and still try to make playoffs.
Then just have to figure out how to get Hill up out of here.
Then it'd all balance itself out.

This is what I mean. It‘s not about LA, it‘s about the competition. It makes no sense trying to buy guys and then fall short of contention. They‘ll probably try to find corner stone guys and hopefully a big that can help contend. Been saying it all along, IMHO, LA and any successful franchise have won with Big Men.
With that said, it would be good to lock in some talented wing players as well.
I would prefer a franchise enter playoffs year on year out, even if it means an early exit. The experience is somethinf you can‘t necessarily buy.

^ No one wants to play if there‘s no meaning. This is the mind set of the teams and players in this day and age.
Just my opinion.

So now the rumor is we will try to trade for dragic before the deadline.
Who would we have that the suns want? And damn why would the suns deal with us knowing that we are tanking to keep that pic...
Giving us Dragic now gives us a chance to drop out of the top 5, and give that pick to the Suns for sure.
Then we have to spend the 80 mil on a 29 year old, instead of paying a top 3 pick 4-5 mil a year for 4 years.
Mitch, no.
he can sit in a suit for the next 2 months. youre welcome.

Well, let‘s see what happens then. All you folks thinking signing a guy or two means something and will catapult us. Guys talking like Randle n Clarkson are future Laker HOFers. lol
It‘s just my opinion, but LA will either buy up guys or start from scratch. The latter makes more sense, because the franchise had no impact on Melo, LBJ, D12 and many others. It further substantiates the ordeal that guys are playing to win tomorrow, not a few years later..

I went to bed real early last night, but my thoughts on Reggie Jackson:
- 24 (turning 25 in April) yet experienced
-Athletic, strong frame, above average height, long arms
-Quality defender, can defend PGs and some SGs
-Very good rebounder
-Solid playmaker for others
-Gets out in transition
-Able to get himself into the paint
-Finishes well at the basket
-Questionable shot selection
-Average efficiency scorer
Provided a big man is selected in the draft, I would take the gamble. I don't think he's on his way to being an All-Star, but he's a starting PG with his best years ahead of him. I would offer 4 years-$44M in the summer.
Frame of reference since last summer:
Isaiah Thomas got four years-$27M ($7.2M and declines)
Kemba Walker got four years-$48M ($12M throughout).
Kyle Lowry got four years-$48M ($12M throughout)
Ricky Rubio got four years-$55M ($12.7M and climbs).
Eric Bledsoe got five years-$70M ($13M and climbs).

New report from Kevin Helin/Marc Stein... Suns prefer to trade Isaiah Thomas over Goran Dragic...
Could be to try to get more for Dragic... But if it's at face value, they won't trade either.
Wouldn't include a the Rockets 1st..
But
Hill + Lakers 2nd for IT2
Or
Lin + Lakers 2nd & Clippers 2nd for IT2
Both fine with me.
Suns kind of screwed IT2 trade value by floating the idea of dealing Dragic and only asking for a first for Dragic.

Leemelone makes some good points. Reggie Jackson for $15 Mill a year is failure, no matter how u slice it. I'd rather rock with clarkson and draft Russell or Mudiay

What would be the Suns incentive to trade IT2 for hill and a 2nd?

Alex Kennedy was talking about Jimmy Butler, and discussed teams that would be interested in him. He said teams like Lakers & Knicks would show interest. Whether they make a Free Agent offer is a different story.
But discussed how you could TRY to get Jimmy Butler from Chicago. He said you make the deal very player friendly as opposed to just a standard max offer which would get easily matched. You give him a max offer with a huge trade kicker, and a series of player options in Year 2-4, or 3 & 4. Makes it a short term deal, better for the player, and makes it much riskier for the Bulls to match.
While they probably still match because Jimmy Butler is on his way to All-Star performance, it gives him frequent outs.
