I mentioned an altercation before. It may help shed some light on things on who was at the other end of it.

Also to note:

We told Goran we won't start his brother unless he deserves it. Goran is mad as I mentioned earlier we won't play his brother and tried to convince him to D League. He takes it personal.

We told him he splits PG duties at best with Bledsoe. He takes it personal.

Further:
Kings are in the mix. Celtics are in the mix. Lakers with the right package may part with their pick but it would be more than Goran going to them.

Still haven't heard anything on the Rockets about being close at all.

Further Further:
He wants LA or the Knicks because of the market. He thinks both will be PO teams soon. And lets face it they may well be with Dragic. Think of the $$$ he gets being an International player on a big market team. This is a busness. It's all about the money. Sure he wants a ring but when the difference is millions. You take the money. He's not a fan. He's a worker. It's hard for us to distinguish between the two.

I think we can all understand the money part. But why say anything then? Just opt out, and then go to the team that gives you the best money with the biggest market. Right now, he just makes himself appear to be the cancer.

I'm so confused.

Didn't the Celtics JUST trade their 29 year old franchise PG FOR ALMOST NOTHING because he was "too old" and wanted a max contract? Why are they so intent on trading for a 29 year old PG who wants a max contract.

None of this makes sense.

As we say in the south he's a gone pecan.


Wow, coupled with what NotTraxxe said! I wonder if his quote "family" is also referring to his brother.

Ainge might just be trying to salvage a little bit of Goran's trade value for his buddy McD as a favor.

The Suns current preference is not to trade Dragic as I've stated earlier and took a little heat for via a funny bit of pictures (this is a change from their previous position) and they have not been willing to include him in offers at the moment.

There was a locker room altercation involving one the Twins. I don't know the details other than this is the second time it has happened (once during practice and one after a game). The team feels like Tucker and a few other players are feeding off their negativity. They were really happy when they got their extensions; we told them we wanted them to become leaders of the "youth movement" and that has backfired on us.

Anyway, we will trade them if we can get good value but we are not going to dump them for the sake of doing so. Bledsoe, Len, Dragic, and Tucker are pretty darn safe at the moment. I don't know why we don't want to trade Tucker. But we don't.

That said we will make any move if the price is right. McD is not an idiot.


This is what I found on the altercation that NT may have been referring to.

The way he's speaking makes me think a trade is already worked out. Maybe just not official yet.

When they said this year would be a roller coaster ride, I wasn't quite expecting this.

If we can't get a deal done, just suspend him without pay. Reason detrimental to the team. If he wasn't happy, he should have just waited until the offseason, walked,and say nothing.

I don't get the part about leading the youth movement and feeding off negativity.

Probably McD working directly with any links he still has in Boston.
