The 29-year-old center from Minnesota certainly gets the job done in the paint. He lacks a perimeter shot but the Suns don’t need another perimeter shooter. Pekovic’s speciality is paint domination where he can defend and score as well as center in the league.
The Timberwolves are in rebuilding mode and they may be willing to trade Pekovic’s monster $12 million contract for the Dragic who has a play option for 2015. That is some serious cap space to use on the free agent market.
Here is a trade proposal that might bring the Minnesota center to Phoenix
Suns Get:
- Nikola Pekovic
Timberwolves Get:
- Goran Dragic
- Miles Plumlee
