"Dragic would strongly prefer to play for a playoff contender."

"The main issue, according to one of the people, is that Dragic wants to run his own team with the kind of freedom and support given to someone like Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors."

How many teams can even entertain this notion? Do we fit the bill? He'll get the offensive green light obviously, but he won't be 'the man'.

On the one hand, he will have a lot of freedom in our wide open offense.

On the other, he'll be second fiddle to Harden.

Harden-Smith-Dmo-Bev-Brwer-Ariza-Dragic-dwight = championship

If I am the Knicks, or the Lakers, I would not give up any assets to get Dragic. They will have a boatload of cash to spend and can offer the lead role he wants. The Rockets should worry about the Sacramento Kings on the trade front.

The Bucks can!

The Rockets and Bucks could make a three team deal, where the rockets land Brandon Knight.

As it should be.

Come back to H-Town Gogi. Let's destroy the West.

It disappoints me if he values being the unquestioned main guy over going somewhere for a legit chance at a title.

Maybe he views the Rockets differently, but if he wants to "run a team", he won't find that here. He also won't find a contender if he's the best player, as good as he is.

Also, if he comes to Houston, what number does Dragic wear, if Ariza and Johnson stay?

I just take it as he wants to be the PG. Bledsoe is the 1 in Phoenix.

Morey has total power now. I don't think Morey would have given up DMo before but this ensures he 100% doesn't

Look, Dragic is 28, almost 29

if he wants a chance to win a championship, Phoenix would be the last team on the list, plain and simple

Phoenix has no chance, now or in summer, they need to trade him

Yup, what I said

Isn't set in stone that he is coming here.

But of all playoff contenders, we make the most sense.
