Death of a Dragon

or

Maybe we'll get to see this 'youth movement' some time soon.

I don't see how thats doing him dirty. They asked him as a member of the team to change his role because he was most suited for it. Like Hornacek did with KJ. He gave a half assed effort all season and now is bouncing at the first opportunity so he can cash out.


Congrats Goran on making the All-NBA 3rd team. As a reward we're going to change your role and you're going to regress into the shadows. Sounds good? Good, thanks for taking one for the team.


Actually, more like FO--Congrats Goran on making the All-NBA 3rd team. As a reward, we're going to attempt to make our team better by signing an undervalued player instead of overpaying for crap at a position of more need. It may impact your role temporarily, but we'll trade him if need be should you be bothered by it.

Goran--How dare you try to improve the team while taking away some of my touches! Trade me to the 2 most helpless teams in basketball where I will make $20 million a year while getting as many touches as I want. #StatsOverWins. Oh, and if you take too long to trade me, I'll leak this to twitter so you can't get as much in return. Later B****es.

If this is true, his behavior proves that he cares more about the payday than winning or this team. If that's the case, then I won't lose sleep over losing him. I never thought he do that to us, but alas, he has.

We f*cked him royally before he f*cked us. In a contract year no less.

The propaganda machine cannot pin this on Dragic - we've got a sh*tty ball club; Blanks / Beasley / weird Bledsoe negotiation / weird IT signing / total mismanagement of Dragic. Pretty sure that's how it is.

I wish i knew if the "invisible salt shaker gif" was appropriate here. The amount of saltiness thrown around is amazing right now.

Then explain his list, the reports that trading IT wouldn't matter, and that he wants to be on teams where only he would have the ball, even though many of those teams have no more than 1 good player, no future picks for a couple years, and little hope of contending in the next half a decade?


I think the released info on teams increases his trade value and if 7 or 8 teams think he will re-sign since now he has such a list probably increases trade value since they feel they are all teams he wants to play for and those teams will have a greater feeling he may re-sign and therefore increase trade value. I think the list helps, quite a bit actually.
