http://morningjournal.com/articles/2012/06/02/sports/doc4fcadb9098032996388308.txt?viewmode=4 Given Lowry's displeasure and Dragic's rise in Houston, what are Phoenix's chances?
Did Dragic enjoy Phoenix? Perhaps we could trade Lowry there? Probably for Gortat (although I don't know if I'd be happy with that deal).
There will be plenty of teams after Dragic, including the Rockets. Hornets(?), Jazz(?), Kings(?), Knicks, Mavs, Nets, Raptors, Suns, Blazers
What point guard will be on the market? Assuming Lin stays with the Knicks there's Dragic and Nash. Then maybe three or four starters will be taken in the draft. Which means there will be about four teams that need a point guard and may want Lowry.
What other PGs are on the market? I'm not sure. If not with the Rockets, neither Lowry or Dragic will have trouble finding a home.
Only one of those teams is going to get Dragic in free agency. I bet plenty of GM's would prefer to trade for Lowry and have him under contract for two more years than take a chance on losing out on Dragic in free agency.
I think it is best to keep Lowry. Dragic will get maybe close to 9 million dollars. Kyle is a very good PG and I think you can get more bang for the buck with him
You might can put the Magic down as a (?). Nelson maybe out the door. You may even keep an eye on the Warriors. The Prizes. Deron Williams, Steve Nash Jeremy Lin, Goran Dragic (on the block), Kyle Lowry, Jameer Nelson (?), Lou Williams (?), and Jose Calderon (on the block). Damian Lilliard and Kendall Marshall. I honestly don't think Lowry is going to get traded before the draft, especially if Houston is asking for a super high pick.
Damian Lillard Kendall Marshall Marquis Teague Tony Wroten Plus, Austin Rivers and Tyshawn Taylor may be drafted to play PG/SG. But agree that only Lillard and Marshall project as starting rookies; and even they may come off the bench as rookies.
Sounds like the writer is just guessing and got his facts wrong. Dragic is unrestricted. Also, I wonder what they think of Aaron Brooks, their own restricted FA.
That deal alone would have made us a playoff team this past year. Gortat is becoming a consistent double-double averaging center who also plays terrific defense.
Ya..... would have could have ..... done that... We did not make the playoffs.... moot borderline playoff contender
Well, looks like the suns want to try their best to mess us up. I say let them have Dragic if the price is too high for him. Rebuild, hello.
