The Phoenix Suns and Los Angeles Lakers have clearly engaged on Goran Dragic trade discussions. But this. This is something:
Phoenix also asked if Lakers would remove protection on the pick they owe them (currently top 5) protected. No traction on either discussion

We're talking about Goran Dragic heading into unrestricted free agency while losing a shot at a top-five player this summer. There's no world the Lakers should ever even entertain that thought, but here's a list of things Mitch could have countered with.
- Throw in a time machine.
- Eric Bledsoe too, while you're at it.
- Training staff? Yep, clean out your lockers everyone, you're moving to Los Angeles.
- Also, we're taking our pick back, that'll cover our counter demands.
- The gorilla too. We'll take the gorilla.
