    Interesting.... McHale helped him get better and is a guy you have to like.

    Happy where the teams at, but you gotta miss how Dragic played for us.

    Still miss the Dragon. I'd feel much more confident of a deep playoff run with him here.

    He mentioned Parsons in the same sentence as Durant!!

    No surprise that Daryl is not mentioned when cherishing old times lol. McHale is the good cop/players' coach where as Morey is a bad cop/asset shuffling GM.

    these interviews are so awesome.

    00rocketgirl asked Goran the same question in Las Vegas.

    So, Coach Kevin gets a recommendation from Goran!

    Such a chill dude. I miss his goofy accented post game trash talking.

    What a class act and what a terrific interview. I hated to see him go to the Suns.

    "Coach Kevin."

    Is this a Slovenian thing or do all of the players call him "Coach Kevin"?

    We know why he chose Phoenix. They gave him a better contract with the player option.

    As good as Goran was, Morey made the right call. Cap flexibility for 2015 was worth more than Goran. Superstars win championships, something Goran was not at the time, and nobody knew for sure Dwight would come over. Worst came to worst, gear up to be a player for 2015, as opposed to having Goran's number on the books.

    Of course Dragic loves McHale. McHale was the first coach to believe in him. When he was in Phoenix, they traded him and a 1st for Aaron Brooks. In Houston, McHale stuck with him over Lowry despite Lowry being the incumbent starter.

    I like how someone probably blocked a part of the light as Dragic started to talk about the Houston situation.

    Makes the mood suddenly change lol

    Exactly. But I do feel that had he known we would get Harden and Howard he might have stayed. It's like a girl breaking up with you but then seeing how much better you are now and having a bit of remorse.
