    He's a cash cow. He'd put butts in seats and would give houston national media exposure.

    No he's not. Suns made a qualifying offer.

    6-8 is close to what he should he get, 10 is way to much. If someone is going to give him that, we have to let him walk.

    Is there a FA 6'9" point guard out there somewhere?

    Why don't we get in Twitter for Morey and tweet we want Dragic. He wouldn't care what we think but will use bag us for his job.

    I do too. I was joking, b/c of how much his stock has fallen. But I actually moved from Houston just b/f the year he got injured & eventually traded, so I just remember his good years. Hope he gets another good shot in the NBA when he's actually healthy.

    My guess is that Goran's side is likely thinking "Omer Asik just got $8.3 mil/year from these guys, Goran should get somewhat more than that, no?"

    Dragic value should be at a 5 year 7-8 mil/year range contract...any more..and he is smoking something else...

    Dragic's agent should realize that right now people are not really spending...this offseason...very few are splurging...contracts for players like deron and nash are justified...they have had a long string of success...and can be consider elite level players...Goran just proved his worth towards the end of te season...and he did fantastic...but if you think your more...go to a team that will pay that...the Rockets will not overspend for Dragic.

    IMO...i think Dragic should be looking at getting a 3 year deal at like around 23-28 mil...That is reasonable...this will give him time to establish his value as a starter...and then he will get his big contract if his numbers stick...over a period of time...

    Let's put this in prespective:

    Rajon Rondo signed for $10 million per.

    Is Dragic better than Rajon Rondo?


    No.
