Utah recieves Goran dragic and pachulia

Phoniex gives dragic to uta and dudley to hawks

phoniex gets josh smith and raja bell

atlanta sends josh smith to pho and zaza to uta

So.. you prefer pho not fries?

Me too.. I think it's a healthier option.

Not bad, I like it for us and ATL, but I'm not sure Phoenix would go for this. Aren't they pretty happy with Dragic? Unless they are looking to shed salary.

They would probably get a pick from someone. If the Jazz are giving a pick I would prefer 2 second rounders instead of a first.
 
It seems kind of weak for the Hawks unless the Suns throw in the Lakers' pick or something like that.
 
I think if a few picks were involved this could get done. Pho was looking to get gay at one point. I figure Smith would highly intrest them

ATL says no because they can get more than just Al & would probably rather take Brown over Dudley because he has a TO next season.

I saw this before but I just don't understand why the Suns would trade thier best player away?
Is it to get rid of his 4 years contract and cap space to blow the team up?

That makes sense, but then Goran is our PG for the next 4 years even if we get a youngster. Is he the type that's going to want to be a core member or is he just another Boozer type who gets his numbers and calls it?
I don't hate it...I think it's a do-able trade, but I don't know anything about Goran's personality and that's the only thing that doesn't make me say yes 100%.

Their fans would throw a conniption fit. They like Dragic and his good contract. They don't even want to give him up if it includes Beasley and Frye (stupid, yes, but they are about as smart as the last President/Owner).
 
Why does ATL do it? I don't think Horford and Jefferson would work well together, they have similar playing styles. Both are offensive focused, and not that great on defense.

If Phoenix wants to trade for Josh Smith, I think they'd want to build around him and dragic, they have no reason to give him up in this trade.
 
This trade would definantly have to be tweaked. Maybe add the Lakers and get pau there and gasol in Atlanta. Or just swap out al and add Paul for the hawks. Plus pick. I'm sure there is a way to get them a serviceable pg
