[USA Today] Goran Dragic tells Suns he won't re-sign after season

He's deluding himself. If he's in LA and Kobe's on the floor, he'll have to share the ball. Same with Melo in NY. And Wade and Bosh in Miami.

Has Dragic watched the Rockets play this season? Harden is an extremely unselfish guy. He always looks to get other guys going in the 1st quarter. I'm sure he'd be more than happy to let Dragic handle the ball a lot when they're on the floor together. Same with Smith off the bench.

Dragic will get plenty of touches on this team. Not to mention an insane number of open looks thanks to the passing abilities of Harden and Smith.

 

I wouldn't begrudge any PG who didn't want to voluntarily come to a team who has a SG who is the best in the league at handling the ball. If you want to be John Stockton this isn't the team for you. I'd rather a guy who is OK with that going into it.

 

Dragic is averaging 18 points a game and he has the same FGA attempts as last year. The difference is, he's doing more catch and shoot rather than initiating the offense. With LA and NY, he will be initiating the offense. There is no way Harden lets Dragic run the offense. It wouldn't even make sense, since Harden is a better driver to the basket than Dragic.

 

This guy...he gets it

 

I would. I'm begrudging him so hard right now.

 

A yahoo sports article has stated that Goran doesn't want to be here for fear of being traded... no trade clause anyone?

 

But then we couldn't turn around and trade him like we really want to

 

Not eligible for one.

 

Hey quite... You will give away the end game...

 

That piece in the future Durant deal

 

Now it makes even less sense to trade for Dragic. We're going to trade away major pieces for a pg who doesn't want to be here. Dragic is a flight risk. Rockets trading Dmo for Dragic and having Dragic leave would be disastrous. I don't even like giving them New Orleans pick for a rental. Forget about Dragic.

 

I think Dragic would mesh fine with Harden and the rest of the team, but if the bit about the list is accurate, I'm not sure I want a guy who'd rather lose and get paid than a guy who wants to win now. I don't know, I was under the impression that he enjoyed his time in Houston?

 

I think it also has something to do with running his own team. Which he wouldn't have in Houston with Harden. He would fit well but wouldn't be maximizing his talents.

So why are going after a pg if Harden is superb at handling the ball?

Last I heard was we need a perimeter playmaker. Whatever the hell that is?
