FTs cost us this game that's sad.

I wonder depending on the way we finish if McD will sell high on dragic


I truly believe the potential longevity of Dragic's career is seriously being undervalued by some here. His biggest strenght right now is his basketball I.Q.


I honestly think that Dragic can keep playing at a high level past 35.

Unless he suffers a severe injury, it's completely logical to think that.

A's over Royals. Lester and experience will prove that he's worth the trade.

Tigers winning it all. Tigers are, imo, peaking at the right time.

Nothing would surprised me. McD learned from the original cutthroat GM in Ainge. Nobody is untouchable and he'll do what's best for the team.

Dragic isn't going anywhere. SMH.

He's developed into a top PG/SG in the league, and has only gotten better each season. He may continue to get better well into his 30s.

Who are you going to get in a trade ("selling high") that will bring back equal, or better, value? Dragic loves to play for the Suns, and will likely take a good deal to keep himself in Phoenix. You hold onto that. Bledsoe should realize that the Suns are the best spot for him and come to reasonable terms with them, unless another team gives him an outrageous contract. There's absolutely no reason to trade Dragic with the other assets the Suns will have for trades/FA moves. Dragic should be on the Suns for the rest of this contract and another long contract at the least.

I remember the Thunder game and watching Westbrook playing like an idiot during crunch time and you could see Dragic clearly outclassed him during those final minutes. That was the perfect example of how invaluable he really is. Taking the right amount of shots at the right time and nothing forcing anything. Even though Dragic only scored 22 points and Westbrook scored 36, it didn't really matter in the end. Now try to picture those final minutes if Westbrook was a Sun and Dragic was on the Thunder.

My dream is for Dragic to turn into Manu without the b*tchmade (as per BH).

and no premature balding either hopefully.

If they trade Goran, I'd probably stop watching for a while. That's saying a lot, as I've stuck around even during the worst times. Basically the only thing that made last season bearable as Dragic's development.
