    Morey would essentially have to convince the guy that they'd build around the core of Harden Howard and Him (Dragic). Lol I could totally see Morey dumping salary on his last year. Seems that's not what he wants. But who knows!!! Lol we are at the mercy of what these national guys tell us.

    Goran has refused to re-sign with the Suns. He doesn't want to join the Rockets. He is allegedly willing to sign a extension with 7 teams, but not with Houston.

    Let me clarify a few things in regards to "Dragic is Melo" and "he wants all this money" and "*** him I dont want him anymore" and all the other nonsense

    Dragic is Slovenian, naturally very down to earth people and not after money

    Dragic has shown that many times throughout his life...just go back and you'll find videos and interviews of him living/leading a simple life

    Forget what is being said about him wanting max

    If he signs with the Rockets it will be on fair terms

    Dragic ultimate goal is championship, he can play another 4-5 years on the same level he is today

    Dragic would have to be an idiot to not realize that he'd be a foundational piece here for the title team Morey hopes to build. The Rockets would have their backcourt set for years to come. Dwight's future here may be in doubt thanks to the knee issue, but barring injury, Dragic would be our PG for a very long time.

    As for the salary dumping concern, well guess what, Goran? EVERY FREAKING NBA TEAM looks to do that with an aging player in the last year of his deal. And like I said before, that wouldn't be an issue anyway til the summer of 2019. By then, Dragic will have banked 80+ mil more from the Rockets, either won a ring or two or realized he'll never get one here, and probably not really give a crap where he winds up for that final year of his deal.

    To find the other two look at teams most likely in the east without a star pg. I think detroit maybe can be one? Spurs? Oh yeah spurs lol. Maybe they will be leaked soon. Or cyber tells us.

    He put Sacramento on his list? I thought they basically said well we are interested in him and are willing to open up room. I didn't see anything about Sac town being on his short list

    problem with reading comprehension?

    I am saying that the amount of money that's been thrown out there, what people are thinking about Gogi is how he's just Melo and after money, is not the truth!

    It's not Dragic wanting the max (more or less). It's his agent. Agent's get more money the more they get for their clients. Am I saying that Dragic wouldn't take the money? Of course not. However, all I'm saying is we are dealing with Pat's agent who wants to make sure Pat doesn't lose his starting status, as starters are entitled to more money through the minimun (correct me if I'm wrong cap experts), which in turn makes the agent more money...so on and so forth. Its the agent who, I'm sure, wants him to go to these big market teams with tremendous amounts of cap room, so HE can make more money. These agents have GM's by the balls, we've seen this many a time via Dan Fegan.

    Just give him his fourth year option this time, already. Then he will feel less likely to be traded, and feel vindicated for the last contract offer we made. It's not like he is going to opt out of the fourth year, anyway, at the amount of $$$$ it will be.

    Exactly. Agents can convince players that whether they care about the money or not they need to be paid what they're worth. I don't care if he's Slovenian or not he likes money and he has common sense
