    IT has a max contract right? And if he does would it be a problem for the rockets?

    If Beverly didn't regress so much this season, I would've thought we would be fine with this roster for a championship run.

    And that's the Suns' problem, I'd rather they be stuck paying for him rather than the Rockets be stuck with him.

    Kind of like how we'll pay Harden his max but we won't overpay Parsons. Same thing.

    I see but I don't agree, hell most of the time I watch suns IT is balling more than tragic and his + - backs it up, but I guess he doesn't have the BIG NAME

    No.

    He was a terrible GM and killed the Knicks.

    He's a miniature one way SG that pretends to be a PG. I get that he's exciting to watch, but how would that fit on this team? We're looking for a PG, which is why we want Gogi.

    Isaiah Thomas isn't a big name?

    Just not a big fan of IT. He will provide as many problems as he solves. Can score, penetrate and shoot, but he is not a good passer, he's known as a ballstopper and at his size I can't imagine him being a good defender or rebounder.

    solid 6man is what I see him being here, even if we go out and get a starting PG later us paying $18-19mill for a starting PG with HARDEN is just a waste of money if you ask me with many other players coming up needing to be signed again.

    He's like a Monta Ellis or Damon Stoudemire. Gotta pair him next to a defensive SG.

    They won't be offering Dragic that much and neither will the Lakers. Lakers were bluffing to get other teams to offer more in trade or scare them away.

    IT is a very good passer. I am quite familiar with his game (from Kings days) and unless you have watched several of his games, that comment you and others have made is blatently false. His only weakness is that he is not a great defender, but he is quick and can guard smaller guards like that one from Detroit who tore us up a couple of weeks ago.

    Is he a willing passer? Scouting reports mention he holds the ball too long

    Where the hell do these guys keep coming from?

    Canaan is a d leaguer.

    Thomas averaged 20, 6 and 3 last season as a starter, his stats where identical to Dragics. If you think Canaan = Thomas, then Canaan also = Dragic.

    Quit comparing the two, they are planets apart.
