Thanks Chris, you build a very good case and I appreciate your level-headed thinking. If Dragic gets to free agency and receives offers from other teams, what's the max per year that you think Sarver would pay?
It's r****ded. Drew was the first one to lay down the Dragic/Bledsoe and rockets looking for an upgrade at the point rumor, plowman followed up, and then cyber came in later. Yet, Drew is a total fraud, plowman is a maybe, and everyone trust cyber.

It's really hard to say from this "distance". As great as Gogi played last year, it's just one year of "all-star" performance. If he does it again, he'll get max offers. Not sure what that'll be? 4/72?...18 per? My wild guess would be the Suns counter with a 5/80 ...less per, more years. Even if Goran has a lesser year. I think he'll receive at least 15m per Suns offer. Lot of variables of course, but you diffinately get the feeling around here that the Suns REALLY want to keep Goran for a long time. To be our Manu Ginobili. Now! If the Suns can EVER find their Tim Duncan we might have something. Not holding my breath though.
He said we were in talks about Bledsoe, which means we are searching for an upgrade at the point as well.
Suns blinked. Between IT2 and Bledsoe alone next year Suns will have $20MM in guaranteed salary. There is no way they give Dragic a max deal.
