GD is not a player who can always run without a ball. That is problem with melo's teammates, they become cold because they dont even receive a ball.
Knicks fans and FO would trade for Dragic---period.

The Rockets have honestly been the best in the league at developing PGs in the past 5 years. Kyle Lowry, Goran Dragic, Patrick Beverely have all turned into very solid players from the Rockets coaches.

A very nice interview with Goran.

We all liked the trade. Dragic was struggling that whole season. We would alllll complain when he checked in. It made sense.
Not me. I hated it from the beginning. One of the dumbest trades in Suns history. Up there with Kurt Thomas-for-nothing.

Didn't we get a conditional second rounder for KT and two firsts?
I didn't like the Goran trade either. What we gave up to get him in the first place, and then paid him better than Lopez. I didn't mind Brooks, but giving them a first, for what turned out to be a rental on Brooks was moronic.
The trade was an absolute stinker back then and the only positive that came out of it, was that Dragic got out of Nash's shadow and became the man. I don't recall everyone liking the trade. It was 50/50 at best in terms of positive reaction. What's worse is that, we all knew Brooks was up for a decent pay day and if we failed to pay him, we would've lost a young prospect and picks for a few months of Brooks.
The way it looks is his departure was the best thing to happen to him.

Someone on here was saying something about him doing something stupid when he cut his foot with some glass before he got traded. They declined to go into further details but at the time that incident seemed to have been part of the reason for trading him. Anyone remember who was posting about that?

I thought it was Traxxe.
