Marc Stein: Indiana Pacers have tried to engage Phoenix in trade talks for Dragic

[D-FENS]

Suns and Pacers are discussing swapping Dragic and Stephenson.
Only link out there right now is through Marc Stein's Twitter feed:

I have a contact who works with one of the Sun's player agents.

Suns looking to role out a Bledsoe/ Stephenson backcourt, very dynamic.
Pacers looking to move Hill to 6th man and to play Dragic with Miles and George

I'd rather have Dragic...

Suns aren't parting with Dragic

What the **** dude? Can you please change the bloody title. How ****ing misleading.

Doesn't seem close to happening, why the thread title?

It would be a great trade for Indiana since they seem to be losing Lance for nothing but would Phoneix be happy with this?

A Bledsoe-Stephenson backcourt would be wild

This isnt official so it isn't BREAKING, its a REPORT
So thirsty

I'm telling you what I'm hearing from someone in the know. Stein knows the same as do others, but they can't report it until they get conformation. The hold-up is Lance's contract. The Suns want him, they want a hard-nosed defensive and dynamic back-court. They like Lance's pace and style, but don;t want to pay him $10m a year - that's what he wants

Oh for ****'s sake. Nobody cares about your inside source. Unless you have a link to it, change the title to "rumor".

Yeah I kinda do want Sir Lance

[OmniStrife]

Yeah let's toss away our best playes whom we're paying 7.5 per to produce 20/6 at 50%+

Yeah I kinda do want Sir Lance

Someone would have to record those intense and deep conversations between Rose and Lance for future study.

[MiseryCityTexas]

Suns would be stupid as shit if they did this deal.

[D-FENS]

I think you're over-valuing Dragic.
He is better than Lance now, and more stable, but Lance is a better fit with Bledsoe and he's younger (23 vs 28).

I think both teams benefit from this, the Pacers are looking to reboot. They want to compete now. Suns think they are just a couple of pieces away and can compete for the next 10 years

I'll update when I get more info

Are they insane?
