The Rockets have made two trades with MINN since Morey came to HOU...does the "3X" possibly mean that he's going for a third go-around?
Why does everyone think docs emoji wolf means minni, he is always way harder to figure out. Wolf = DMo
I'm still betting on Dragic going to Houston. In this situation, neither the Suns nor Dragic himself has full control over where he ends up. The Suns, on one hand, can't keep Dragic beyond July without Dragic's consent. Dragic, on the other hand, can't get traded anywhere without the Suns' cooperation. The Suns don't have to to trade Dragic to one of his preferred destination, instead, they will look for their own best interest and trade him to the place that offers the Suns the best assets. Dragic's preference has an effect on what teams offer the most for him, but only tangentially. If Houston is willing to take the risk of Dragic leaving this summer despite Houston making an offer as good as, or better than any other team's offer (with the 5 year Bird Right and all), Houston may still end up making a trade offer that beat out that of all other teams. Some of Dragic's reported "preferred teams" have no asset to trade for him, others (like LAL and NYK) may be unwilling to give up any important assets that they have to trade for him now because they can just offer him a deal in July. For LAL and NYK, their current season is ****ed anyway, so why pay a ton extra for just these next couple months plus the Bird Rights?
If he wants to be the guy on his own team why did he pick teams with Kobe, Wade/Bosh, and Melo, it doesn't add up looks like a smokescreen to me.

I dont think Dragic cares and cant really blame him on that account. Who wouldn't feel disrespected for being passed on for a scrub like Lin? lol
If the reports are true regarding who's on Dragic's short list of teams he's willing to go to, then I wouldn't want him here anyway. It's pretty obvious winning isn't his primary concern. One very good season and this guy thinks he should be the man? Good luck with that Gogi.
Slight of hand, magician Rubio out of the cold. I don't want Rubio on the Rockets. He can't shoot or finish around the rim.
