Dragic GONE!!! Goran signs 4-year, $30M deal with Phoenix

damn, chandler. ungrateful much?

agree with him, but a 2nd round draft pick entering his 2nd year in the NBA, who was given more opportunity to succeed this early in his career by this team than he likely would have gotten anywhere else, really shouldn't be commenting (negatively) on the matter.

 

Chandler Parsons knows what time it is too

 

Who knows what he meant by that tweet. He could be disgusted with the FO. Or maybe he's just disappointed that he won't get to play with Dragic anymore.

Good for Dragic if that's where he really wanted to be, but he should be thanking Lowry for getting that infection lol.

 

Agreed. Not a good career move.

 

Were already better than last year.

 

:grin:

 

How are better than last year?

 

I agree with Clutch
This does not FEEL LIKE IT IS ON PURPOSE

but . . . you know what

Obviously money was a big factor, but i think Goran's first choice was going back to Phoenix. It's like that ex-gf you never stopped loving, he went back, even thought she originally dumped him.

 

I agree

 

A healthy Lowry and Martin are better than than Dragic and Lee, CP will be better in his second year, better rookies at the 4 spot and Asik shores up our defense.

 

I just hope this does not mean they sign Lin

Rocket River
I am just not sold on that guy . . .

 

Suns are reporting that it's actually a $30mil 4 yr deal with a $1mil option for all-star bonus. $7.5mil?

 

Same here. The team as constructed the past 3 years was not going anywhere. Now we have some young talent to build around, Donuts, Lamb, White, Jones, Parsons, Patterson, hopefully Asik, and a disgruntled PG who will hopefully shut his pie hole and play ball. Losing Dragic and Lee isn't a disaster. Lamb made Lee expendable. Dragic is harder to replace, but his heart was still in PHX. Hopefully we can trade Scola and Martin for a starter. Time to rebuild and let the new talent develop.

 

Hoping that a late lotto pick and two other non-lotto picks pan out as stars seems overly optimistic. Morey wanted to move up in the draft for a reason. Seriously, I'm beginning to think that any move we make will be good in your eyes. Build around second rounders? Sure, Morey knows how to pick em!

 

Yeah it's probably not on purpose but it is happening.

6 rookies in the last two drafts all on the team
Almost all of the players will be 26 or younger with the exceptions of KMart, Scola and Camby if they are on the team.

 

Greedy greedy b*stard, hope he gets sunburn in Phoenix.

 

Thanks for gettin' my back. I'v been a Rox fan since 1972, through thick and thin, and I hate fair-weather posers. I will always roll with my boys.

 

I'm not saying it will happen but pretty much everyone considers those three players as very high ceiling players. I think the last time the Rockets had even one high ceiling type of rookie on the roster, his name was Yao. Now we have three, yes I'm excited.

 

Damn...there goes my favorite Rocket...
