What's the going price for Dragic by the trade deadline?

For Dragic, I'd say NOP pick + Terry is fair value.

I'm not really on the Dragic bandwagon; rather I'd like a good backup C/PF.

Jones seems to be out for a looooong time, and DMo is great starting, but we don't have a decent backup.

 

If Morey some how works his magic and acquires Dragic, I will act like a hyper little school girl. He is the perfect pg for this team. Harden/Dragic backcourt could make a case for best backcourt in the league.

Excellent post, thanks.

I could see the Lakers going in harder. The thing is, our biggest competitors here, Sacto and Lakers, have not done his job at collecting proper assets, draft picks. For instance, Boston it would be a big rival for us, but since they traded Rondo I guess it means they are trusting in Smart/Bradley for PG position long term and are not ready to spend big money in another PG this offseason.

Why did you discard Miami as "teams Dragic is likely to resign with from that list". I mean, why could not happen?

 

TJones + Capela + Black

 

Can someone quickly summarize the benefits of adding Dragic for our offense? And will he hurt us on defense?


I definitely feel more comfortable adding him than Rondo. and I'm so glad Cuban didn't decide to go after Gogi

 

Basically, he's a very complete player and a team oriented "star". He doesn't have important weaknesses. Good ball handler, good passer, good shooter, solid defender, good basket IQ, team guy.

 

GREAT fast break finisher... Something the Rockets are sorely lacking besides Harden.

 

Mmmm, not convinced at all. Wade as old as he is is having a hell of a season; Bosh is still in his theorical prime years... I could see them doing a good run and making the playoffs. The thing is.... they don't have nothing to give to Phoenix neither. Not even their own draft picks, nothing.

 

I see Dragic wanting to test the market, to think about different options like NY, LAL, whatever. Being the third guy on a championship contender could be not enough for him, we don't know. I think the Rockets will have to go for him with his continuity unguaranteed and a chance of losing him in the summer. From that scenario, let's see what Morey is willing to give....

 

I wouldnt say Dragic is a good defender but I dont think he is a liability either... he is one of those players that gets under the skin of his opponents because he is always going full speed.

There was a game on March 13, 2012 against the Thunder where Dragic got into Westbrook's head so bad that we came back from down 11 with 3 minutes remaining because Goran just kept outplaying Russel it was a beautiful thing and thats when I knew Dragic was going to be a star in this league.

This is the only video i could find of the game

bledsoe and thomas need to make him expendable. depends on the market though obviously.

 

LOL, no

 

read it as Pap included too but even without him, it's still too much.

 

That's too much. Pels 1st/Terry/filler can get it done.

 

I mean that's 10 million dollars in expiring contracts... a 1st round pick that is probably in the lottery and a player that was 1st round pick in this years draft.

where are they going to get a better offer?

 

Dragic is a one year rental.
