    This isn't true at all though. If people are bashing him because of that then they're either ignorant, morons or both. The goal has always been to get enough assets to trade for a superstar, as far as value is concerned a guaranteed lottery pick held more value than Lowry, who was disgruntled and demanding a trade. In Dragic's case, he asked for a 4rth option, which in Morey's mind devalued him so much he wasn't worth getting.

    If you look at the sequence of events DM let Lowry and Dragic go first and then decided to work on Linsanity. Not only that prior to the 2nd offer NYC had always said they would match up to a Billion dollars. So the reality is if Lin wasn't signed we would be starting Toney Douglas, with Machado and Livingston as backup.

    Having Douglas right now instead of Livingston is hard, because I think Livingston would have made a better backup to Lin, but I get the reason (even though it's not the best move player-wise). It makes me wonder who our trade target is, because he will not be with the team come trade deadline

    This is exactly what people should be looking at. Morey pursued Lin AFTER he couldn't sign Dragic. If Lin wasn't here, we would be having Douglas Machado and Livingston as our PGs. I hope those who bash Lin because of Lowry and Dragic would enjoy watching that trio manning our PG spot.

    This guy was a possibility up until they went all in for Lin and Asik.

    Sheved is nothing special.

    The guy was personally causing the Russian coach to have the a nervous breakdown during the Olympics.

    He throws the dumbest passes and turns over the ball when he was the lead PG.

    Don't think he has a good shot either, not very athletic.....tall though...

    Russian market is not as interesting as China or Turkey.

    I don't get your point. So now we should regret not getting this guy who's shooting as bad as Lin?

    Where are you getting the idea that Morey couldn't sign Dragic? He chose not to sign him.

    Trade target was DH, when that fell through I think Morey finally convinced Les to tank so we would not have any decent pg on the squad.
