    Since Dragic not a FA right now, i don't care who's on the list or not. I even doubt if such a list ever exists.

    Sheeeeeeeeet....like Clyde Davis would say.

    And here I thought my insomnia would actually pay off today. 20 or so more pages since I went to bed and not a damn thing of value.

    Seems like I get suckered by the trade deadline every year. I turn into a giant ball of wasted potential.

    If Goran wants out now (seemingly obvious that he does) then it would be pretty smart to not mention a team he really wants to go to now so they don't have to lose more in this trade than necessary.

    I have limited hope here, but his options are open here regardless.

    I'll feel good about his outcome now or next year.

    Dragic ain't about this (winning) life. He's the Slovenian Melo.

    What's sort of depressing here is that I sort of though if we couldn't swing a deal for him at the deadline, we could still possibly finagle the roster this summer to make room to sign him. Turns out he wouldn't have even given us a sniff.

    the winning argument is a lot of rubbish and fans use it way too often when a player doesn't join their team

    I agree but Knicks, Lakers and he wants the offense running through him. He is crazy if he truly believes it. :grin:

    Dragic and his agents may be going about it wrong, burning bridges with PHX. The team that's going to get him may think twice about offering him the max. He also may have overestimated the market for his services, esp. if his brother Zoran has to be included.

    It also seemed to have shaken up the tree of PGs so to speak, and teams start to think other PGs are just as good or better, younger, and could be had for less than the max. It could end up that no one will offer him the max this summer.

    Kobe will most likely retire at the end of next year. And having Dragic will help both Knicks and Lakers to sign star FA.
    Half the league will be RFA or FA in 2016. A lot of things will get turned upside down.

    Lol tell me about it. Woke up at 4 and haven't been able to fall asleep yet, so I decided to check the trade news. Not a damn thing.

    yeah but these big market teams will pursuit other ball dominant stars this summer and next etc. I don't rate Dragic so highly like many here, as a secondary playmaker in a good playoff team is ok.

    the younger pgs will be RFA. Their teams will have the upper hand.
    Dragic will be the only top pg UFA. He will get offered the max for sure.

    You are fine if Dragic is your 3d star. You might be fine, if you have 3 stars and Dragic is the second best of the group. You are screwed if Dragic is your best player, unless you have a real good balanced team around him like Atlanta has right now.

    If he goes to NY or LA he will make that team better - and they will get better players in the future. But he would have to be patient. They probably won't be a contender in the next 2 years - and they'd have to be lucky to be a contender in 3 years.

    If we get him, we'd have to show him, that his role here is bigger than it was in Pheonix. Not just when Harden is on the bench. I am not saying giving him the key to our offense, but let him share the burden on offense. I think if we make him feel good and wanted and offer a max contract, it would be hard for him to turn it down. And I think adding him without losing a major rotational piece makes us a real contender for the title this year.

    So in the end: just make it happen already...

    By the way, Shved is now cleared to be traded, right?
