Trade for Goran Dragic?

Sexual Favors said:
They'd want Favors. Dragic is all-star caliber, and they like him the most of all ther PG's. They do, however, need rim protection.

I'd considerFavors and Trey for Dragic, Green, and/or Warren.

We have Rudy, and lineups with he and Favors would require Klay Thompson, Kyle Korver, and Steph Curry on our team to be effectively spaced on offense. Fat chance we get shooters like that. We can draft a one dimesonl shot blocker to handle bench minutes. They don't have to have Favors' game. Might be a little early to trade Derrick, though, he is still improving. Dragic is real nice, though. Would be a great mentor for Dante.

I am in the camp that we still don't know enough about Enes, and no other team is high enough on him, to give us something in return that comes close to his potential. Definitely wouldn't fetch us Dragic.

Hmm. Interesting with trading Favors. I wouldn't want to do it, but I wouldn't be mad with the deal. I think we need to get some proven players that still of potential for our assets soon.
 
Don't think Phoenix would do it for Enes and never trade big for small. Case in point, I think Utah is winning the DWill-Favors trade.

Intrigued with the Favors and Trey for Dragic and Green. Would need to have Dragic to sign an extension though!
 
Enes and Jeremy dont fit into Hornaceks system. You would have to include a draft pick plus a win now piece as well.

When a team trades for a UFA they usually get an agreement for the player to sign at the end of the season. Like Love and Rondo.

What agreement? Those guys just said they would be "open" to re-signing. There is no legal agreement to re-sign.

Generally happens. But there is always risk. Cavs thought they had an "understanding" with Boozer and his agent. Carlos bolted once he discovered he could earn a lot more on the open market. I think with Love and Rondo there is less risk because they're going to supposed contenders, which they had a hand in selecting. In Love's case, he probably gets a max contract, which will be larger than any other team can offer. With Rondo, there's more risk. He's not worth max money. And as a result, Boston didn't get as much back for him. Really, what was the cornerstone of that deal? Wright and a conditional 1st-rounder (which likely falls in the late 20's)?

I agree with those who say we shouldn't trade for an UFA. Even IF a player WANTS/DEMANDS a trade to Utah, it would be like the Carmelo situation. Wouldn't a player who truly wants to be a team-first guy be willing to accept a max contract with slightly lower increases which ensures the team he's going to is STRONGER because they haven't given up key players to get him?

And especially in this case, with the cap going up in 2016, FA's may want much shorter contracts this summer so they can opt out and sign a much higher deal later. I could even see some of the FA's this summer asking for 1-yr deals.
