    LOL - at bringing up facts as some sort of hate.

    He did it, he owned up to it, and he is going to do the community service.

    It is what it is....

    Those inconvenient facts.

    And definitions:

    Hate - to dislike intensely or passionately; feel extreme aversion for or extreme hostility toward; detest.

    I don't think that applies to anyone with regards to Kyle, but people are going to be realistic and point out his flaws.

    That is just the way it works.

    No, teams that pay their best players below market rate move in the right direction. Teams that overpay for their players go down. This is what happens for good players that are not quite superstars. Unless Dragic becomes a true superstar, there's a serious danger that his price gets hyped up.

    According to your logic, if Portland offers Dragic an overpriced contract, we should FIND A WAY to keep him--which would mean offering an even more overpriced contract.

    Dallas could have paid Nash what Phx did, which was still below his true value. Their mistake was that they didn't hit the sweet spot of offering enough to sign him while less than his value.

    Maybe not hate

    Looks like its trying to slowly build up momemtum to "Trevor Ariza" him piling on the faults. Though Lowry is a more effective player of course

    (I hate favoritism)

    28 GAMES of Goran Dragic
    18 points
    8 assists
    3.4 rebounds
    2 steals
    49% FG
    38% from 3
    Record=13-15

    38 GAMES of Kyle Lowry
    16 points
    7 assists
    5 rebounds
    2 steals
    42% FG
    39% from 3
    Record=21-17

    Kyle Lowry is paid 5 million bucks a year.

    What do you think Goran will get?

    Trade Lowry to the Hornets for the 10th overall pick, Jason Smith and a Lottery protected pick in 2013 (top 5)

    Draft Perry Jones 10th overall

    Draft Jeremy Lamb 14th overall

    Draft Tony Wroten 16th overall


    ----

    We will then have the biggest and tallest team in the NBA

    PG- Goran Dragic( 6'3), Tony Wroten( 6'5)
    SG Kevin Martin (6'7), Jeremy Lamb( 6'6), Courtney Lee( 6'5)
    SF- Chandler Parsons (6'10), Perry Jones( 6'11), Marcus Morris( 6'8)
    PF- Luis Scola ( 6'9), Donatas Motiejunas( 7'0), Patrick Patterson( 6'9)
    C- Sam Dalembert ( 6'11), Jason Smith( 7'0), Greg Smith ( 6'10)


    We would be the tallest team in the league

    I love him. Want to have his children. Now trade him if the right deal comes around.

    Those numbers don't take into account the fact that Lowry was starting with Kevin Martin and Dragic didn't play with him much if it all when he was starting (can't remember when Martin stopped playing exactly).
