Probably just landed in TO. Goran likes to hang out too.

I don't see Goran buying real estate in the burbs if he's intent on moving at the trade deadline, so he's probably got a rental condo on the waterfront just like the young guys. He has a wife and 8-year old son. Do they come to Toronto for 6 months or stay in Miami and figure out where he's going to be in February / March? It's likely that they stay in Miami for now and someone does the commute.


Stay in the DeSantis dystopia or come to Toronto?

Hmm.

$19M this year will help him figure that out :D

The video made me think how, if it wasn't for stupid pandemic, this should be the vibrant clean kind of big city that players love. But somehow it isn't, as far as a destination anyways.
There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes.

A lot of players are shallow and ignorant. They think that unless you're living in LA or NY, you can't make it as a marketable star. The media doesn't help by deliberately avoiding coverage of any teams not in those two markets. And some guys just want to live that Kardashian lifestyle because at the end of the day, they're just dumb jocks.

Do tell me about all the players that have signed with/forced trades to non-LA and NY teams in the past 20 years (Miami doesn't count).

You missed my point. How old do you have to be to call them "shallow and ignorant" or "they're just dumb jocks". Back under the rock.

It's true. If your priorities in life are to hang out with socialites and pad your Instagram follower count, you are shallow and ignorant. Athletes spend their entire lives training for the sport. They don't have time to become cultured. Guys like Giannis are a rarity. Most players will flock to LA or NY at the first opportunity (again, the media helps herd them there as well).

I always said Goran Dragic is going to absolutely love Toronto and will play some super ball here. Trading him for scraps right now would be a huge mistake.
