It's the coaches job to stay on the refs. Doc wants his players to move on to the next play, let him work the refs and not let "bad calls" affect their effort and focus on the floor.
Dragic is just happier with the organization that values him the most. I doubt he would be as good in Houston in an environment where everyone is an asset an in jeopardy to be traded. And he did not chose Houston as a free agent. Was his choice
At the time we had neither Harden or Howard. Even if we had the benefit of foresight, dragic's player option could interfere with our 2015 cap space. That said, still kinda wish we had him.
It's funny how forgetful people are. Morey wanted Drafic but what kept him from re-signing h is the same thing that helped us land Harden and Howard. Patience and resistance to bad contracts.
Options increase the value of a contract from the player's side, max players always get those because technically they're being underpaid relative to value, top 10 players live in a seller's market, they get the money and options they want. Garcia on the other hand, the offset of his option is he took a minimum contract. Morey expects if Dwight opts out, that he'll re-sign anyway for a longer deal, try and set up your flexibility on a 7.5m option that you have no idea whether it will be picked up and whether the player will stay and you'll see the issue at hand.
“Through postgame video review, we have determined that Minnesota’s Kevin Love was fouled on the right arm by Dallas’ Shawn Marion while attempting a two-point field goal. Love should have been awarded two free throws with one second left on the clock.”
