    That is your opinion, but I am the one who called the whole situation out in the first place, so my opinion has more clout. :grin:

    Once again, if Dragic does not re-sign, both Lowry and McHale will be with the Rockets next season.

    You hold them accountable by stop giving them your attention span. Bill Ingram does the same thing you do but on a much more massive scale.

    While he thinks he's fighting the good fight to put Morey out of a job, he's instead giving them more attention in the process, ruining his credibility, and making himself look like a fool.

    You have an agenda just like he does that makes you look like a jackass as well when your agenda serves no common ground with logic. You aren't holding anyone accountable dude. Your a joke, and nobody takes you serious anymore.

    hahaha… sunshine pumpers make me laugh… Lowry has been on the trading table like 9 times since May, pretty sure he isn't gonna "get over it".. Morey effed himself when he puts his best players under contract on the table every other month.. this franchise is in shambles and most of you homers are seriously blind.. when October rolls around and nothing has been done except more asset trading for more assets maybe you will open your eyes..

    ok since it's made up drivel by DD, then explain to me HOW everything is just peachy with Lowry and McHale? i mean you want proof how it isn't.. which i would think Lowry saying it in public that he's not happy in houston would be enough, so you show me WITH PROOF how everything will be ok with mchale and lowry? oh that's right it's an assumption.. Lowry showed he is pissed, haven't seen where he's retracted his statement yet.. until then i will continue to believe that lowry will not be happy as along as he is a rocket..

    sunshine pumpers? How is this franchise in shambles?

    Stop being so emotional bro, it is what causes your mind to make irrational decisions.

    You want $10m?"

    "Did you look up that price on the Internet. Yeah, if you were a center I'd pay you that right now. But you're a PG. I mean no disrespect, but I have a business to run, and need room to trade any assets I buy. PGs like you top out at $10m. There jusrt aren't that many collectors in this market. So you'd sit on my shelf for a long time increasing in cost before I could find a buyer."

    "I was thinking more like $5m"

    then they settle on $7.5m

    Watch how unhappy Lowry becomes if Dragic signs elsewhere. Lowry never wanted to be traded to a team like Sacramento or Toronto, he wanted the front office to make a choice. Him or me. He thought he was the odd man out at the time, and didn't want to go out without a fight. He's secretly going to be thrilled if Dragic walks.

    As for how much he likes McHale... its a basketball team. Ive played on too many to count, and I couldn't stand any of my coaches. I hated my dad the most when he was my coach. McHale is oldschool, and kind of a jackass, but that doesn't mean Lowry and him wont be able to coexist on a basketball team next year.

    Just how many NBA point guards make ten million per?

    Pretty exclusive company, isn't it?

    well news flash the front office didn't pick him, Dragic walked away from morey's low ball offer… choosing him would be telling dragic we don't care to meet with you because our starter is Lowry, but we will sign u as our backup.. they wanted Dragic, hence the reason they have tried to offer up Lowry like 10 times already.. pretty sure he knows he is not wanted.. but hey u guys are right, i'm sure he will cheer up quick after more trades fall apart in the last minute and everyone else signs elsewhere and we are stuck with disgruntled lowry, scola and kmart..

    Fire Mchale and join the youth movement in the NBA in hiring younger coaches. See Eric Spolestra, Thibeado and Scott Brooks, and the Blazers coach

    These players of today dont respond to the old-school way of coaching anymore

    Wish Morey would have hired Tom Thibeado or kept Rick Adelman

    Judging by the money they have been said to offer him to be that far apart I say good riddance to him. Get Jeremy Lin in here. Just not sure the Knicks wouldnt match.

    nba teams pony up on potential. If dragic gets 18pts a game w/ 7 assts and 1.5 steals, you mean to tell me he isn't worth 10 million? He is worth it... Just not to the rockets when they have a similarly awesome pg in lowry.

    So you think they should go for a young coach or Adelman.

    Not sure if you realize that Adelman is in his 70's?

    Not sure if you realize that one of the biggest fueds displayed in the NBA between player and coach was Spoelstra and Wade. Do you not remember last season when half the players in Miami threw Spo under the bus when they lost a few games in a row?

    The Blazer's coach??? really. They hired that kid to purposefully tank the second half of the season. He really proved himself worthy.

    Look, Im not saying McHale is a perfect coach or if he's the guy that I really prefer if there were better options available.

    What Im saying is if you have ever played the game of basketball you will know what Im talking about. Its not old school or new school. Its basketball. Its a heated, emotional game, and its NOTHING that one or two players on the team dont get along with the coach.

    Im not sure what everyone expects to have if heaven forbid Lowry and McHale end up on the same team, but history shows that Lowry will play, and McHale will coach, and the world will spin in the earth will continue to spin on its axis.

    Pgs that make ten million? It really isn't that exclusive. I think you're thinking of pgs who make over ten mill.

    Goran's pay , at 10mil, would be similar to Devin Harris, Calderon, with Terry and Monta a little further out... you may be thinking of Rondo's salary(10 mill), but he's severely underpaid.
