    Too bad we let him go and are stuck with two mediocre PG's. One of which is the 3rd highest paid on the team

    I know we have all these dragic vs lin threads, but this season Goran Dragic is playing better than James Harden:

    Goran is playing at a star level.

    Not just that ...the eye test shows a confidence we never really saw before. He's good and he knows it. With Paul out he has been the best PG in the league over the last month or 2.

    He got more guaranteed money from the suns. He liked the team we had here too.

    Based on your posting history, I've gotta ask.......are you even a Rockets fan? Every post of yours oozes sarcasm and cynicism.

    Goran has really let the game come to him; really overall, Hornacek has done a fantastic job of getting the Suns players to buy into a system that has allowed them to play as a unit and successfully. They are one superstar player from being a real problem in the future. And they will have the assets to do so in the form of #1 picks...Congrats "Dragon"

    Of course I am,I became one mainly because of Dream and his supporting cast who won the first title,loved that team.

    But on topic, I am Mad that we let go off Dragic and brought in Lin who 1 is a worse player than him and 2 gets paid more

    Didn't Dragic demand a 4 year deal? Lin is cheaper, unfortunately not as good as Dragic.

    i was mad when goran left and i agree he looks to be the better player now (hindsight...) but Lin is not really paid that much more (25M/3yrs vs 30M/4yrs for Dragic, 4th yr player option), and our GM did not want to take salaries beyond 2015

    btw, if he continues to play this way, he will certainly opt out in summer 2015... ironic

    Not taking anything away from his career night but didn't do too much against The Rockets which we pretty much beat them pretty easily, lol. So do you guys bust a nut more at Dragic's career night or a Rockets win? Who has a better record? Rockets or Suns?? For those that complain about LOF and their stats, what's this I see here? With Lin attach to every response. Bunch of girls man, all of you.

    Two of the absolute worst posters on CF right now.

    And Harden?? Did you just leave him out of the line-up.

    Hate to credit Hornacek, but I think he's done a great job of getting the Suns to buy into the possibility of greatness. Very confident group of guys overall, and they seem to have a "why not us" mentality. Kudos.

    man. I knew we would regret losing Dragic from the moment it happened, but even then I didn't think his ceiling would be quite that high. Dragon is killing it.

    I didn't like the decision from day one, dislike it even more now.

    Seriously I love Morey but letting him go over a simple players option was possibly his worst move.

    Dragic is so much better than any PG we have on the team, and may be the most complete one in like 20 years that the Rox have had.
