He's coMING. There is so much chaos going on right now. Things are probably fluid. Best not too read too much into any one report. With that said, Maybe Gogi is a drama queen and we just didnt know it.
This. Goran is going after money. This will be his last chance to get a big contract. If Morey promises Goran a max, I guarantee you he will be more than happy to come back. For a player of his caliber, money trumps winning, and nobody should blame him for that.
Hibbert at this point would be a great get for PHX for a player they are going to lose any ways. He's not a bad player at all and they are seriously lacking in size so he fills a need too. I'm not sure Indiana does that though, their only problem is missing Paul George.
Morey will never win a championship if he keeps star chasing. He has the leafue MVP on his team and if D12 gets healthy a top 3 center. We have a strong bench and young PF who is becoming really good. We are a decent PG away from becoming contenders
Has Cyber said anything? This is SUCH a mess. I don't think this thing has happened again. Dragic probably won't be traded at all now.
Way, way, way, waaaaaaay too late to request a separate thread for other insiders. Nearly 1400 pages? Hello and welcome to last summer. Now, a separate thread for trolls.....

I know he didn't have any say, but wasn't Harden told that Houston was one of the teams that was trying to trade for him and he agreed to it? Too much weed between then and now for me to remember tbh.

You know what's hilarious? cyberx hasn't given ANY info regarding Dragic that we didn't know from other sources. His last post said the Suns want to trade him to the Lakers (something that we already know now) to increase the likelihood of them getting the top 5 pick (speculation). As far as I know, DocRocket (whom I before doubted) , is the only one who called the fact that Dragic wouldn't want to stay with the Rockets.
Haha, this is the kind of thinking that makes Morey/Rockets unpopular around the league. Logical, but cold-hearted
This is either to drive the price up for other teams in on Dragic, lower the asking price on other targets, or both.

I doubt Phoenix will back track on their stance on not being interested in Hibbert only to trade their All-NBA player for him. Phoenix's front office is clueless but they're not totally inept.
I want to reiterate this. At this point, if Ty Lawson or Brandon Knight or even Isaiah Thomas are even options I would look into that. Dragic is the deadline's Melo. He either doesn't give a damn about winning, or he has no clue how winners win. Look at the 4 teams Amick listed. I don't begrudge him of it, but those are teams picked based on money and personal lifestyle. The Lakers for f's sake, after he's seen what Kobe does to teammates? If these reports are true about the teams he's listed, then I'm not mad at not getting him. We need a ring and we can't win rings with stars like that taking up max cap space IMO.
It's still worthwhile to trade for Dragic with a lowball offer, say kpap, jones and a second. That's probably worth the added chance of a ring this year. If he leaves, he leaves, we lost Jones for nothing, but not something we can't recover from.
You don't know what you're talking about. Doc Rocket has been a long-time insider and has broken a lot of stuff for us here. Give mommy back her Kindle and go to bed.
