Thanks for keeping us updated, still hoping for dragon, I like Ricky as a consultation prize he's like watching poetry when he passes.
I'd rank the priorities like this: 1. Dragic 2. Rondo 3. Bledsoe 4. Rubio Dragic is not an injury or fit risk, and I don't see him walking next year since we have Bird rights. With Dragic we're not betting on potential like Bledsoe and Rubio because we want to win now. Otherwise we could wait a year, sign Dragic/Rondo as FA and keep TJones and the NO 1st.
How would you define 'the right trade'? With a guy like Harden are you looking for a Kuenn - Colovito -esque trade? (For those less ancient than I the two were MLB ALers traded for each other right after one won the batting title and the other the homer crown.)
If by 'bad enough' you refer to your earlier statement about what Flip is demanding then oh, my no way; NO WAY. However, if that's an opening parry by his Smugness with a more reasonable outcome a real possibility then that's a whole 'nother issue. BTW - - despite the slings and arrows (that you appear to be smiling off) it's grand to see you around here!
What was the offer? DMO, NO pick, Johnson? That's a no way, but from the opposite end than you're positing.
Not sticking up for him but I didn't see any other person calling Mallet to the Texans or any team as long as drew did. He knew something. Does he know whats up with us? That's the question
Somewhere buried in this morass er thread, Plowman laid out His Smugness' demands for Rubio. It may have exceeded Love's.

Thanks, xiki .....back in the saddle. Yeah, I was talking about Rondo when I said that. He's not really going to cost much. Now, Ricky, of course IS a different story.
