http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/bk/bkn/7444440.html Flynn for Brooks was worse than Dragic and a lottery-protected 1st?? There might have been a pick involved with the T-Wolves trade as well.. Someone please stupify me on why we went for Dragic over Flynn??
Other than that Flynn sucks, I think you already stated it with the pick being involved in the Phoenix deal. I don't think Minny have a good pick to give us?
If we're looking for upside then Flynn is exactly what i would think we want. The guy has freakish athleticism and is looked at as an all round point with high potential...

Flynn has played just one year. He hasn't played much at all this year. I don't know the ages of both players, but i know both are young. Goran has played for a couple years and is taller. He was behind a two time MVP and blew up that Spurs and Suns series. I think that is better then a still unproven Johnny Flynn (and to add in that he had hip surgery? is not good worth the risk)
Jonny Flynn: 2010-11: $3,192,000 2011-12: $3,414,720 2012-13: $4,329,865 (team option, but must be exercised by October 2011) Goran Dragic: 2010-11: $1,972,000 2011-12: $2,108,000 (team option) Does that answer your question?
Dragic is taller Dragic plays better defense Dragic is a better shooter Dragic is a better rebounder Dragic has fewer turnovers
Nice move, traveled.......but i dont kno how often that'll get called. Imagen he took off that foot he used to fake with... i think he'll be solid, i just thought Flynn was the bigger upside player..
Dragic is one of those crafty players who can score and create in spurts. He plays well in an uptempo style offense. He has been learning under one of the best for the past couple of years so he should be ready to contribute right away for us. A motion offense should suit him just fine. He is a team guy. Should be interesting to watch him play.
I agree.....and..... Dragic is a better dribbler Dragic is TALLER Dragic has better command of the game Dragic has better feel for being a PG Dragic played behind, under, after, and WITH Steve Nash....AND... Dragic is LEFT-HANDED! Those guys are crafty and sneaky and cheating bastards...but they're left-handed! Dragic is a better basketball player than Aaron Brooks...and like Bima said, he makes less money and is under team control. So, isnt the better question, "Why would we NOT Aaron Brooks for Dragic?"
