    Miami makes zero sense. Not buying it unless it’s a non-basketball decision.

    Why? Is Cuban trying to make an all white euro team? I thought they were after Horford. And then they said they were going to sign more cheaper FA.

    Cuban/Mavs #1 target was Kemba at PG.

    I would agree they shouldn't get Dragic if he was an FA looking for a long term deal, but as an expiring, it makes a lot of sense to me.

    Also maybe I'm just a geek, but the Slovenian connect with Luka and Dragic would be so cool.

    It’s not happening.

    Oh well if it’s not the Rockets, I guess the Heat would be the best option. They won’t be a threat at all.

    Dragic is a fine player on a 1 year deal. They’ll be able to him

    Here’s the problem: Kemba reported signing with Boston, Kyrie reported to sign with Brooklyn, and Kawhi reported to be teaming up with Durant with Clippers or Knicks. These were likely the Lakers’ top three targets. So who do you think they target now? I’d wager Heat and Rockets aren’t the only teams Butler will be meeting with and I don’t think it’s a coincidence that Rockets’ meeting is scheduled in L.A.

    Smells more like "he's not coming to Houston" to me.

    I’m prepared for that but Lakers and Nets popping up.... if he wants to come here or Miami then he just says “I’ll go sign there and you get nothing”
