    Scares me to know that another team, and more notably a team he's already played for, is hosting him tomorrow...we CANNOT let this guy get away!

    They dumped him off with a 1st for brooks. Shows how much they previously wanted him gone.

    And we had him as a throw in for the botched Gasol trade. Things change.

    And if he re-signs with them he'll have Brooks as his backup (Suns made qualifying offer to Brooks). Can someone say "Akward"

    We traded Goran for an elite big man. Phoenix traded him and a 1st round pick for Aaron Brooks.

    Dragic is just biding his time to see if houston trades lowry. He really wants to be a starter. But he knows Houston can pay him the most, unless Nash spurns Toronto.

    It will all be over July 14th. I believe that by then all will be done with regards with the roster for the upcoming season. I can't wait to see the team down here in RGV for the open practice and the first preseason against OKC.

    Maybe Morey was hosting a goodbye party for him at TC?

    haha. To be honest, I complete forgot about that he was apart of the botch trade. But at least he was moved for one of the better players at his position in Gasol as opposed to being moved for a whiny brooks at the time.

    I really don't see any reason Dragic would want to go there with Phoenix drafting a first round point guard. Like someone else said, he is likely bidding his time until Lowery is traded.

    Don't think PHX is the lead threat. He likes the city apparently, but that team is likely gonna be crap-- even Nash couldn't carry them into the playoffs. I heard they are also pursuing Gordon, though... so if they pair the two of them, it'll be a better team..

    Not a good sign for the Rockets that he is visiting other teams after meeting with them imo

    They just tried to low ball Steve Nash. Offered him 2 years 12 mil. LOL.
