Yeah... everyone raved about how Dwight was a great teammate and a fantastic person.

Now people can see the truth.

Wow, I was never a huge Dragic fan boy but he was my favorite suns player on this team. The way he's going about this with his camp leaking info and now bad mouthing the team in public has killed any respect I Had for him. Any legacy he had in phoenix in my eyes is gone.

Go about this right way. Don't go out bitching and whining. I hope the Morris twins make him cry in the locker room....

Is there any realistic way we could have this lineup next year?

Bledsoe
Wes Matthews
Tobias Harris
Markieff or another young PF like Terrence Jones

Conflicting reports everywhere!

Whoops I meant info. I woke up early for this and now I just want it to be over.

Goran sounds pretty dejected.

Goran Dragic will now never have his jersey retired by any NBA team (most likely)

Good job, Dragon.

This does not look good for the Suns & the FO - one of the most humble team-friendly dudes snapping back at the organization. I find it hard to believe that Goran is NOT who we thought he was. I have an easier time thinking the FO and Coach are terrible talent-managers and communicators. As much as I like McD, he is not a people person...I know personally from a fam friend that McD is kind of a loner, numbers guy...like the dude in Imitation Game. Sarver is a snake, well-known by many in the PHX community. And Babby...who knows, seems like a bullsh*tter as well. We'll be fine in the long run, but this hurts the organization big time right now and for the short term future.

Was Dragic the one F***ing the Morri's mom? and they took him behind the shed and taught him a lesson?

whoa...strong words straight from Goran

Holy ****. What made him go that far!?

Who knows? Maybe they told him early in the season they would deal Thomas when they could, and then they couldn't because they didn't have a good deal, so he thinks they went back on their word or something.

I mean, a lot of fans have been unhappy with how Dragic has been utilized this season, so it's not unreasonable to think he has been unhappy too.

Also, I wouldn't be surprised if McD wanted to trade him all along, like early last season like he did with Scola and Gortat, but then while looking for a deal, the team took off and things changed....Sarver could have intervened or something and they decided to try and compete for that 8 seed rather than rebuild. There may be differing opinions at the top to some extent and maybe he has had the gut feeling McD doesn't want him.

I don't know...just throwing possibilities out there as to why he may have lost trust.

At least the ****' Hornacek can land us Wes Matthews.
IDK about Harris, but could be attainable too, if we dont overspend on Wes.

I'm confused about the tweets that say Dragic is screwing the rockets over? What does that mean?

Nando88 · Post #512 » by **Nando88** » Wed Feb 18, 2015 8:11 pm

Can we just end this crap and go get afflalo and chandler from the nugs. They could be had in a trade for the minimum I bet with Denver's fire sale

FYI: THE BOSTON CELTICS ARE VERY TRUSTWORTHY. RT @paulcoro Goran Dragic on the Suns front office: "I don't trust them any more."

...pretty funny

Comparing anyone's career trajectory to Nash's probably won't get you anywhere. Nash's trajectory is a 1 in 1000 type story. It's like saying, "Hey, my roommate won the lottery so I feel like I have a good chance."

Relax. It's not like he was ever really going to have his jersey retired or anything close :lol:

And I'm a huge fan of his.

One day the man is golden, the next he should be burned at the stake. :roll:

Am I now, ironically, one of the biggest Gogi fans here? You people...

I'm trying to figure out why he's so mad.

1) We let him play on his national team.
2) We signed his brother.
3) We said we'd offer him a fair contract this offseason.

So he's leaving because
1) IT/ EB
2) His brother doesn't play
3) $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Yeah, this certainly can't make us look too appealing for future free agents.

Maybe he's upset because we're trying to trade him to someplace other than one of his preferred locations.
