CyberX thanks for being the only legit insider and sharing the info. You make me the insider amongst my friends.
I figured this to be the case, If we can't get a Dragic deal done it almost makes sense to try and get a future protected 1st for Nick Johnson or Canaan because I can't see us getting that for Dorsey or Black, maybe a 2nd for black would work.
Does your source happen to be Feigen's publicized tweets? <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>Rockets working on a deal to create a roster spot, according to a source.

Probably easier to deal Black than Dorsey, could maybe get a 2nd rounder for him. Perhaps Johnson could be a darkhorse trade candidate?
The "Trying to avoid release" is the telling part of cybers post. If it was for Dragic, I'm sure he would've said such.
