    Are you comfortable paying Dragic 15+ million for four years? That is what it will take to keep him.

    I thought he was taking a shot at the Phoenix home crowd, because that place looked empty halfway into the 3rd.

    Interesting. Since you say that, I did notice McHale joking around with Dragic at the beginning of the game. Don't know what they were saying, but Dragic was smiling.

    Yes.


    We are all in right now.


    Howard is already falling off, Harden has played 6 seasons and 10 seasons is about where players start to deteriorate. The next 2-3 years is our window, if we plan on winning it all then we need to put together a better team and quick.

    15 mil would be surprising seeing as how guys like Lowry/Bledsoe got much less than that, unless that is factoring in the rising cap.

    Either way...I'd still lean towards giving him that. He's really exactly what the Rockets are missing.

    Dragic is an ideal player for us.

    Absolutely, and I'd throw in the 5th year as a gesture that we don't care about the "extra year" anymore.

    Harden and DMo obviously know that we need him, and I think Dragic wants to be here. It's interesting that DMo was part of the recruiting effort....maybe that's a signal that he's not in a trade for Dragic (not that I really thought he would be anyway).

    The cap is expected to jump to upwards of $8590mil range. $15mil is the new $11mil. Besides, Dragic's game will age fairly well. His decline will be more of a smooth one rather than a sharp dropoff.

    Come to Houston Dragic. Not much competition at the PG spot here.

    Goran can not be happy with that stupid tech rule. I don't care if you think that's a good rule for a coach to have or not, it's pretty damn dumb to sit a player like Dragic the rest of the game over one tech

    That's why Goran probably did it.

    He's just showing the Rockets that he can be a good 'teammate.' ;)

    Terence jones is going to Phoenix. Dwight goes down to give enough time for Tjones to showcase.

    These kind of conversations are nothing but cheap newspaper headliners.

    There is nothing to be gained when asking an upcoming FA what hey will be doing.

    It is not up to them. It is up to the market.

    Parsons 15M or Dragic 15M? Dragic in a heart beat.

    Go for it! Be it a promise in Feb or directly signing July.

    Doesn't mean anything to me either, Goran.

    Are you a perennial allstar or superstar?
