If Dragic ends up here anyways he's going to have a legit chance at the championship. That's a pretty heavy incentive to play hard.
Lol. Of course the Suns prefer the team from Woj Tweets. They have the assets. If Dragic is requesting a trade, who cares if he agrees with it or not. Suns don't care about Dragic, he gave them the cold shoulder and they give it right back.
Things have changed. If the Suns want to deal they need to include Plumlee and either take on Dorsey or give up a second pick to package with Dorsey to a 3rd team. Rockets have other options besides Dragic.
Also... Even if Dragic is a rental. If we get him for a pick, then it elevates us into championship contenders. That simple. (Of course we need Howard healthy).
Honestly, considering Dragic does not want to be here and how much (and how long) he is about to get paid, I'd rather have Collison or Bradley. Smart is not going anywhere. That man is legit and the C's know it. I really hope he does -- I am tired of rooting against the Brow (except when he plays Houston of course).
That's actually not that bad of an idea. I wonder what his contract situation is? I know this much about the man: he knows how to score when things seem shut down defensively.
Wasn't there a lot of discussion about odds of the Pelicans staying healthy on this site during the offseason? (knock on wood)
Go look up player production in contract years. Its good news for the Rockets in this scenario especially with the world watching him on a playoff team that has a ton of scrutiny. Also go ask Clutch himself if he thinks Dragic has the type of toxic personality that would make this an issue? Maybe I'm wrong and the guy is the next Dennis Rodman dressed as Mark Zuckerberg, but I think history speaks for itself. Dragic will be play his butt off for the Rockets even as a rental.
You aren't the only one. I've been wanting him as a back up PG as well, hopefully behind either Lawson or Dragic. I don't think he can be combined in a trade package, but Terry for him works straight up and frees up salary for BKN.
True, and even if he is still pissed I doubt he would leave a potential 60 win team for a team like the Lakers or Knicks if the $ was the same.
So Morey jedi-mind tricked Dragic into announcing to the world Houston wasn't in his top 7 so that Morey could offer a low-ball deal but in reality Dragic has a wink wink deal to re-up with Houston. Brilliant! :grin:
It's likely he would get plucked off waivers. Everybody forgets Atlanta is still under the salary cap and another three point shooter and scorer like Martin only makes them that much stronger.
They wouldn't. If healthy KMart is a tradeable player on his mid-sized contract. There is literally ZERO chance he gets bought out. Not sure where that narrative started. More than likely I see him getting traded on draft night. SG is one of the weakest positions in the league. He is going to be sought after for sure.
