He is so bad. Anyone would have been better.


This might be the best part of the Dragic signing. Double whammy!



Honestly, Carter isnt a bad player... he just wasn't used properly here (no surprise our coaching staff sucks) and he didnt get the volume for his shooting to trend back towards the norm (it was starting to get there).

With the Bucks they will use him properly. Like PJ tucker. sit in the corner on offense and take only wide open threes and defensively harass full court end to end.

He isnt a real PG... he is a 3 & D Pg. We saw some of that in preseason. The bucks wont have him handling the ball much.

Could he have been used better? Sure... But he just didn't produce when given the opportunity. I didn't expect him to be as bad as he was, but for whatever reason he was...

Dragic is a huge signing. He has plenty left for the minutes he will get. Just a great ball handler with high IQ and motor. He is replacing Carter which is a 180 degree turn in the right direction.

That's pretty cool.
I was legitimately shook when Drazen and Reggie Lewis both passed away in pretty quick succession.

Dragic is a great signing for you guys.

The summer of 1993 was horrific for basketball. The world lost two talents that hadn't even tapped their prime potential. To think about it makes me sick at how both of those guys were robbed of their lives at such young ages.

Drazen was like Jordan to these guys man. It hurts to think about it.
