I don't care what Dragic has said. As far as Im concerned he has every right.

If my boss hired not one, but TWO people to do my job for me, I'd quit too. In a heartbeat.
I don't mind paying Dragic this year either before the caps go up.

Dragic is way underrated by some people I think. I didn't like trading him to Houston several years ago. It is obvious in his demeaner that he is a winner. Numbers back it up.

If my boss did that I would think he is the greatest boss ever

Some of us take pride in our work and want to be great at our jobs and have full ownership of them.

I find people who enjoy working creepy and slightly disturbed. Like its one thing enjoying the lucrative perks of being corporate cubiclefeed, but to actually take pleasure in such banality perplexes me

If no trades are done by tomorrow... the last 30 games will be super-awkward for everyone on the team.

Especially Hornacek, the coach, the guy who has put Dragic off-the-ball and made Bledsoe main ball handler (cant blame him too much as he just plays the players given to him).

I'll also be super-pissed, because I got my blood pressure through the roof today reading all those "bad" mouthing Dragic has given the Suns FO. It'll also be one of the rarest moments someone has burnt a bridge only to have swam back to the other side where he started from, temporary or not.

Yeah, many of us saw it. Some didn't.

At the end of the day athletes are complaining about receiving an annual salary of 7 mil instead of the 20 mil they oh so deserve while people are barely making ends meet

Well where's the common sense in that? Common sense just changing all the time, flip-floppin' around...

Though i do agree with you.

Come on, its a totally different ball game than it was 48 hours ago. As its been leaked the suns were not going to trade Goran. Yes, I was right about that. Now when a dude straight up says his goodbyes and **** on our front office what did you think was going to happen? I mean even now we are hearing g reports of them NOT wanting to trade Goran.

This thread needs to be nuked from space. Just to be sure...

for

Removal of pick protection
Randle OR (Jordan Hill + 1 future pick top 12 protected)

This gives Lakers players to improve from finishing bottom 5 anyways, Suns consolidate players into 1 or 2

If I were them I'd say "How about we just sign him with our cap space this summer and keep all our players?"

Because he would sign for the team that traded for him and can give him more money and years would be the answer.
Depends how bad a team wants him.

You think the Lakers in any universe would remove the protection on the pick and possibly trade Jahlil Okafor and Julius Randle at a better chance to sign Dragic?

Don't...not worth it. I got home from work 3 1/2 hours ago and I had left off on page 27 and still haven't caught up, and you don't learn much....you just see a lot of bitching.

You sound like a cover letter :lol:

I'm sorry but If i can do a third of work for the same pay I would be the happiest guy in the world. Why would anyone want to work harder than they have too if they are going to get compensated the same...it makes no sense to me......

Hence why we feel trading IT and basically apologizing for royally screwing up trying to do 3 pg's will maybe convince Dragic to resign this offseason.

I'm not sure I want to sign DRagic to a max offer sheet though 20M a year for him is alot unless he morphs into a 23 and 9 guy overnight

So, since some people can't make ends meet... that sucks. Not sure what it has to do with being one of a handful of the most talented athletes on the planet and being compensated for it.

OK - I just want to say, I actually hold no ill-will, I'm in a funny mood tonight, I don't actually have any beef with you, you seem cool. But I'm just going to get this off my chest; it's a pet peeve of mine, so I'm just gonna say stuff...

I didn't appreciate being called unreasonable when I was trying to be forward-looking. You say you were right, that we were not trying to trade him? I don't think there's good reason to think that; after all, if you suppose the Suns weren't completed blindsided by everything, wouldn't not trying to trade him defy common sense?

You were seeing what you wanted to see and flamed a guy who, at that time, was going against the grain. Turned out I was ahead of the game. I was willing to take all sorts of deals for Dragic that others thought were pitiful. Now, we're wishing we had them. So it turned out that COMMON SENSE was actually code for STUPID.

:banghead:

Ok I'm done.
