Goran should end this crap right now. If it wasnt for us, he would not be asking for 10 million right now It turns out that these claims of him wanting 10 million are true according to David Alridge and Wojo How can Dragic as a man look at Lowry( who is on his level or if not better than he is), and ask for double or to be paid like Rajon Rondo Its not fair to us as fans, or to the Rockets.
Sorry to burst your bubble buddy but he is and most rocket fans who are unbiased agree..and he doesn't b**** line Lowry and he has more upside than Lowry..better teammate...the list goes on Obama Fan....
Things just keep getting worse and worse. Not only did they lose out on Howard, they kept all 3 of their picks (we thought they would do at least something with those picks) and now are losing Gogi.
With the Suns drafting Kendall Marshall and having Sebastian Telfair *and* tendering an offer to Aaron Brooks, how likely would they be to spend $10 million a year on Dragic when they are after other free agents? Would the Raptors be a bigger threat if the Nash offer falls through?
A healthy Lowry averaged 19 ppg, 8.4 rpg( our team leader in rebounds), 8.8 assists with 2.2 steals for a about a 5 weeks strecth.. leading all PG's in PER ( all-star production).. and nobody ever questions Lowry heart, and toughness. The fact of the matter is that Dragic is not a better player than Lowry( when Lowry is healthy), so he shouldnt make twice as much People are forgetting that Dragic was in a CONTRACT YEAR, and these kind of efforts from players who want to be paid is not uncommon. Im not claiming that Gogi is trying to cash in on 2 months of production, but the fact remains, we have seen instances where players have played above their heads( and the league figuring them out in a couple of games).

So which is more ridiculous...that or paying Asik 24 million over 3 years??!!..correct me if I'm wrong but asik. just got paid from the rockets and he is not close to the impact player gogi is...if asik is making that coin, I think its fair for gogi to go for 8 million too....
It'd be ironic if he signs with Phoenix, and Nash returns, and he winds up backing up Nash for the next four years. Maybe money matters to him most, and I'm fine with that. I'd like to see him earn his fat paycheck here, but will wish him well if he can make more elsewhere. We fans are fickle. Welcome back, Kyle, and how 'bout that Machado kid!
LOL That list you came up with doesn't have a single "unbiased" opinion. And yeah, he's still not better than Lowry. If he is, it's not by much.
The only issue I have with Dragic is his consistency. At his very best Dragic is an elite pg, but he also fades away from time to time, which is why the Suns traded him for Brooks after he blew up in the playoffs. Last season he started out as a backup level pg, then blew up after Klow got injured. However when Lowry came back he became backup quality again, gotta wonder why that happens. I know most of the board thinks Dragic is better than Lowry, but the truth is both players are similar. Dragic will give you anywhere from 7-9, while Lowry will give you 8-8.5.
I'm pretty sure Morey gave them a very fair 8M a year contract, he already said he'd work out a deal ASAP so IMHO DM didn't try any lowball tactics. The issue here is they want 10M a year. Is Dragic 150% better than Lowry to deserve 150% of the money? Doubt it.
