    Will be funny to see how people will respond to this when it actually happens, after what everybody has said about Kyle lately :) Welcome back Lowry, never doubted you for a minute ;)

    I wouldn't mind of we don't have either player, sign that Machado kid and maybe see if Lamb can handle PG.

    This is a blessing in disguise because with all the hype Lowry's a better point guard. Don't let the clutch hype fool you

    Stupid, stupid, stupid. Dragic is going to go somewhere else and become an all-star point guard. Watch.

    Yes, but Llull won't come over until next summer (2013) at the earliest.

    I recently put together a highlights mix of his 2011/2012 season, if you're interested and missed it.

    lol at people comparing a point guard to a Center. Bigs get paid, deal with it.

    True, but there is more data on what Dragic can do with an increase in usage than what Asik can do.

    A lot of players are unable to sustain their advanced metrics when their workload increases.

    To be fair, I think Morey is betting that Asik can be a capable starter. If his body can't handle starter minutes, then he's an overpaid backup. At 5 mil the 1st 2 years, it's worth the risk.

    Morey finds undervalued asset not starting on another team and trades for him. He excels while here. Fans get mad that he won't pay big money to keep him.

    Morey offers money to another undervalued asset that is also not a starter on his current team. Fans get mad he offered that money.

    I kinda thought it was fishy in those post draft press conferences when Morey would say 'we're obviously going to try to get Camby back..' but no mention of Dragic. I would've thought Dragic would've been the bigger cog worth mentioning... even Lee.

    Perhaps Morey already had a good feeling Dragic wouldn't be back as early as mid last week.

    Anyways, I think Dragic walks and Lee will be renounced.. hoping Machado impresses and Lamb learns quick.
