    Well I am sure he'll really be upset now. First he aired his grievances about McHale. Now, they tried to replace him with two PGs to no avail. I'am okay with Lowry not being here though, his attitude seemed to have changed and he's become more selfish. Now I just wish we had a coach who could put our players and team in a better position to succeed with better offensive schemes.

    What bums me about this is, you know Morey and everyone wanted him back. They spent time with this guy it seems like even off the court and after the season has ended. He was there when they were with D-Mo wasn't he? And all the dinner chats and everything. They invested a lot of time to Dragic hoping he would stay. He didn't. What's next? Imagine Lowry receiving a text message saying "Hey Kyle, wanna have dinner with me and coach?". His reply would probably be, "**** you, go back to Gogi. Oh wait! He's gone! HA HA!".

    Lin is OK, I just have this concern that he's injury prone. But overall I believe he can be a championship PG in the long run. It's only a matter of the Knicks matching, which I believe they will.

    I really loved Goran, but the more I think about it, why be saddled with a rich long-term contract when we aren't going anywhere for a while? We should find out what we have, develop our players, and then use our massive cap-room to sign all-star free agents that can vult us into contention. Dragic was worth $7 mil and it looks like Morey stuck to his guns. Now we can truly start rebuilding. I've made my peace with it

    Rockets are going to regret this for many years.

    They could.

    We could be like Dallas. Watch Dragic be the MVP twice, get high regular season wins for his team, but always fall to a big-time team like the Lakers.

    We could also win one ring before Dragic does.

    No kidding. Just really depressing. Someday a player with some balls will take a chance and become the next big Rockets superstar. It just pisses me off how long it's taking.

    Goran Dragic contract tweak: it's a 4-year, $30M deal with potential to be $34M from annual $1M All-Star bonuses. 4th year is player option.

    I think by all these multiple attempts at free agent signings is a message for us for once just to play our young guys and throw them in the fire. We probably will get our butts handed to us every night, but it will definitely be a good test to our coaching staff and our young guys. It will only help them grow as players.

    WHY ARE YOU ASSUMING THAT THE ROCKETS OFFER WAS LESS?!!? MAYBE DRAGIC JUST PREFERRED PHOENIX, WHERE HE'S PLAYED MOST OF HIS CAREER AND WHERE THERE WOULD BE NO STARTING PG CONTROVERSY!!?

    And people still still don't believe that Maury's personality and the way he is open about things matters to the players. Assets have souls!

    Maury getting iso'd by his own like someone with leprosy in biblical times.

    MAAAAAUUUURRRY! WTF?

    It's been widely reported that the rockets' offer was less. In fact, there's a report that the organization thought his deal was "too rich". Hey, bro I'm no Morey hater, but someone needs to explain to me why we couldnt find $7.5 mil to match, and likely retain, our best player from last year.

    Stein and Wojnarowski's reports seem to suggest it.
