This is coming from a die hard Suns fan, Goran Dragic is not worth 15-20 mil a year. He is insane. Best choice for Suns is to trade him. I would be pissed if Dragic got that kind of money.
Eric Bledsoe is about to shine now. 20 pts, 9 asts, 5 rebs average as main guy.

"The Dragon's fire has turned toward the Suns organization.
Goran Dragic, the closest thing to a face of the franchise for the Suns, wants to be traded by Thursday's 1 p.m. deadline, according to multiple league sources after the parties met Tuesday.
Dragic has lost trust in the Suns organization because they have brought in two other point guards, Eric Bledsoe and Isaiah Thomas, and reduced his playmaking role since he returned to Phoenix during free agency in 2012 to be Steve Nash's heir apparent.
The Suns, who traded Dragic in 2011, traded for Bledsoe in 2013 when he was one of the most-sought trade commodities and created a dual-playmaker backcourt. Dragic thrived when Bledsoe missed half of the season and they ultimately found chemistry for a 48-win season.
Dragic was content in that set-up but the addition of another starting-quality point guard in Thomas has put Dragic almost exclusively off the ball no matter if Thomas or Bledsoe are paired with him or if the Suns are in a three-point-guard lineup.
Even if the Suns traded Thomas, Dragic's mind appears to be set on leaving Phoenix in July free agency. A change of heart has not been ruled out but is portrayed as doubtful because Dragic's camp considers the perceived breach of trust to be irrevocable.
Dragic, who championed the Suns resigning Bledsoe last April, wants to be able to run his own team.
As many as eight teams have expressed interest in trading for Dragic, who has expressed his own interest in going to Indiana, Miami, New York or the Los Angeles Lakers. The Suns' ability to make a deal will not be helped by Dragic's stance or contract situation. Dragic will opt out of his current deal after this season and be an unrestricted free agent."

It wouldn't be that bad though, he could get paid still without working
I really wanted to see both of them flourish together along with the Morris twins. Sibling overload

All of these "overpaid" arguments aren't going to mean much when the max contracts blow up in 2016. Having an near All-Star PG for around 15 mil will be a bargain.

Well the Knicks and Lakers both need pieces, he would be a great piece assuming you can land a star next to him (KD, Russ) in the next couple years. The length of the deals being shorterm than in the past minimizes some of the risk as well. There aren't many all star caliber PGs that will hit the market this summer as everyone is saving space for the summer of KD and the summer of Russ the following season.
I wouldn't mind it as a Laker fan seeing as Kobe of off the books after next year. They'll have plenty of money to go after both KD and Russ even with a max Dragic and assuming Kobe goes through his career rebirth at a lower price.
The Knicks would be more tricky because with Melo on the books for 25+ mil, it restricts what they could put around Melo, Dragic, top 5 pick and let's say KD. That's 85+ million even with the higher protected cap. KD's max should start between 25-27 mil I believe.

If you guys think you could land another player with KD then go for it if not you are stuck with an aging Pg who's prime doesn't match the prime of your would be core.

Age doesn't really matter if he's still am effective player for the length of the deal. He's not a PG that relies on his athleticism so he should be fine. And you need vets on any team that can contribute to win there hasn't been a team of young bucks that's even sniffed the finals outside of OKC.

Stauskas+Thompson for Dragic+Plumlee
Dragic leaves in the offseason for nothing.

As a Lakers fan I want and don't want Dragic. I want him, because he's a solid fringe All-Star PG and a great potential 3rd star, however I don't want him, because if we trade for him, we may win games and fall behind in tanking for the top pick this year

You could have just said what's Turquoise and quit. I didn't mark out your post because it sucked. Your post was correctness at the PER of 101%.
I think I've recognized the "KD soft" and "Russ be wilding" talk as, people who are mad they play together and for OKC, instead of their City.
