    Afflalo could be a replacement for Wes in the small chance that he bolts in the offseason if we could get Afflalo to opt in.

    Afflalo. He is the more dynamic scorer. And as others have mentioned, you can use him at the two or three.

    Plus, his douchebag quotient is WAY lower.

    Wtf? Are you stereotyping? Everything I've read about chandler is positive locker room/character wise.

    I wouldn't make a move with this year in mind. I would make it for next year and the year after. Not sure what the answer is, just that I don't think any of them are the last piece.

    So your saying the Blazers aren't really a championship contender just yet?

    This I would want to get in on. I love Blake but long term having Dragic in a three guard rotation with Dame and Wes would be sweet. But once again we would be facing a player option at the end of the season. I would pay him though

    Gery Woelfel: Hearing Suns want a first-rounder for Goran Dragic and, rest assured, they'll get it. Rockets got to be tempted. Twitter @GeryWoelfel

    Exactly. Wookee has these preconceived notions of players that are just baffling. I'm pretty sure he'd take Martell over Lebron

    I'm going to be really pissed if the Rockets or one of our playoff competitors pick up Dragic on the cheap. The Rockets having him would give them two herky-jerky, hard to guard left-handers.

    I would be PISSED

    we could grab a Dragic and he would be exactly the scoring wing we need! And if we used T. Rob, Barton, our pick and maybe Claver; it wouldn't be much!

    Get er done Olshey!

    Dragic would be a rental and he isn't a wing. He is a 6'3 guard.

    A wing is a player able to play the corners. Dragic can definitely play the perimeter and corners. He's also very good around the paint as well

    And why would he only be a rental? If he pans out, we would hold his bird rights and able to go over cap to sign him

    Somebody with a lot of cap space and a lot of picks is going to get Dragic, that's not us. We'd get outbid so fast for a pt guard that the Laker, Rockets, Knicks and Celtics need that I don't think if we were interested that we'd be where they'd send him. He'll probably end up in the east I'm thinking

    How many 6'3 combo guards do we need? We need a wing with length if we need anything. CJ is 6'3

    Leonard yes keep, if we get what we want than I have no problem letting CK go - lots of tweener/combo guards in this league
