Id say the suitors rank like this- 1. Rockets (yes, still, limited to current low offer. Prob MLE) 2. Suns($ to burn.) 3. Mavs (can offer 5 to 8 mil) 4. Toronto ($ to burn) 5. Lakers (S&T only) 6. Hornets (?)
Goran might as well just start unpacking his Dynex in his nicer Memorial home. I say deal is done by Sunday

Cuban will pay big to get a stud like Goran. With both Kidd and Terry leaving, they are in a dire need of a PG who can play the 2 in spurts like the Dragon can.
" A source close to Dragic claimed he was offered a five-year, $40 million deal by the Rockets before telling them he wanted to continue testing the market, but a source with knowledge of the situation disputed that financial figure" -from Sam Amick... http://si.com/news/sp/wr_nba_sports/detail/5065223
That is fair, and he knows Lowry is still here, so it would not get done until Kyle is traded anyway, but not Dallas, that would be the worst to watch him blow up there.
I have a feeling NO will match Gordon's contract. Phx, still having cash burning a hole in their pocket, will sign Goran to a 4 year 50 million dollar contract. I don't think Lin will sign here which then leaves us a disgruntled Lowry as our starting PG. But starting will help heal the wounds.
