lol Just wait till the season is over and let him come here with no loss of assets. Or at the very least appear to seem to wait. Suns have to make a big decision soon.
This team is poised to win THIS season. If Dragic is available at a reasonable price, you take him. The additions of Brewer, Smith, and Dragic would vault us to title contenders.
lol This. I said to appear to wait. Dragic pushes the team toward us. We make a sweet deal. It is the Morey way. Screw Phoenix. Why we want to help them anyway?
If we all know that Houston won't have the space to afford Dragic then you don't think that Phoenix also knows it?
They do most certainly know this which is why they're playing a game of chicken until the deadline. The biggest threat is the ability for dragic to leave to NYK who happens to have the cap space.....which he has coincidentally mentioned as a team of interest for him in FA.
Advantages of 76ers: 1. Become best player on team 2. Showcase for free agency 3. All 76er players will get bonus at year end since they will be below minimum salary.
But from a 76ers standpoint: 1. Don't want to win any more games than necessary. 2. Steals developmental minutes from younger players. 3. Why not just claim off waivers then and be over minimum cap?
After Josh Smith clears the waiver, the Sixers can offer Josh Smith 5M/year for 2 years and then ships him to a contender to get a late 1st round pick in return. This way, Josh will get paid more. At 5M, a lot of good teams will still want him.
