Breaking -- The human race has waived Josh Smith: 2014-15 regular season thread part 2

miami will prob be good again in not too long but the other two are cursed for their past sins and rightfully so imho

any team has an opportunity get good real fast w the coming salary cap jump, the thing holding ny and la back is their tendency to make bad decisions, which maxing dragic out wld be

free isiah thomas

so do they keep dragic for now, letting him walk later, and deal it2, or deal dragic for fuck-it reasons? or stand pat

I mean no way they deal them both if they still think that 8th seed is get-able (which it is, in theory)

gotta be a way to get boogie on the suns

Dragic's age doesn't quite fit the team's arc, will be interesting to see what they get

vh1 vj on a mtv vj team

isnt that substanially the same as kanter/gobert?

you know I don't know how much those two play together? seems like it's always Favors/Kanter or Favors/Gobert

82games isn't working so I can't check easily

thered be a spacing issue but kanter still has more range than favors

there better be some cool and wacky trades in the next few days cmon man

i defo wouldnt sign dragic to a long contract. hes got some injuries, hes 28, and his game relies on driving inside and getting calls. players of his type fade hard and early. and the % of his possesions that end with free throws has already delcined this season iirc

how did the kings become the most delusional team in sports

i assume dragic's motive here is that he figures the lakers and knicks are the only teams with enough cap space and desperation to offer him the max this offseason and if he can get to them now he can get even more money?

also it seems like dragic might just dislike the US outside of metropolises with sizable euro populations? it's understandable, there can't be tons of yugoslavians in phoenix

who wants to live in Phoenix anyway

how did the kings become the most delusional team in sports

idk but god bless them

nhex u r mean

butterfly wonderland

sorry bro

i also don't get the rockets angle here, if dragic doesn't like playing with bledsoe and thomas why the hell would he like playing with harden?

seems like there's a bit of redundancy in their games as well. dragic doesn't have the same command of the long ball but, as mentioned above, both draw a lot of fts charging the paint. not sure why you'd want to distribute that same kind of thing to two guys (except i guess if it meant halving injury exposure to both by diminishing their opportunities to get busted up drawing fouls)

dragic will be great with the ball on his hands again

would watch this miami (hassan, bosh, deng, wade) team w/ goran
indiana is also nice w PG back. they dont have the assets tho

boston could make it happen. goran + boogie wooooo destroy them all

dragic has one really good year ever, i wld not be too amped on acquiring him

yeah w/ smart coming along pretty well i dont see the need

ESPN sources say that Milwaukee's buyout of big man Larry Sanders is all but done and sides' parting is soon to be made official

melo shutdown official

shut it down (new york basketball)

Oh it's shut down believe

So bummed abt this dragic thing

I suppose it would be correct to trade him given the other pgs his age and expiring contract but I feel like if they do it they're one Bledsoe strained shoulder away from being the Isaiah and markieff show and going 37-49 every year

Basically I want last year's Suns back with this year's markieff dammit

yeah suns cldnt quite get it clicking + lost so many close games, its sad

The Phoenix Suns are operating under the belief that guard Goran Dragic could be persuaded to accept a five-year contract elsewhere, thus are pursuing trades with asset-rich teams outside of his preferred list of destinations, league sources told Yahoo Sports.

The Boston Celtics, Houston Rockets and Sacramento Kings have been initially aggressive in talks to obtain Dragic, who will be a free agent in July. Suns general manager Ryan McDonough seems determined to find a team willing to gamble on the ability to offer Dragic the most years and guaranteed money in July free agency, league sources said.

Sources: Once Larry Sanders buyout is complete with Milwaukee, there's presently no plan for him to sign elsewhere in NBA this season.

xxxp unless reggie is gonna have a sudden resurrection when someone pays attention to him, i wouldnt bother if i was danny, idk let the nugs have him

kinda doubt danny is too interested in dragic or jackson prob just hanging around to see if a. he can get a sweet deal b. be the third team in a trade c. construct a super trade

he's brewin' something in that mormon brain of his, i'm intrigued and terrified in equal measure

if larry sanders actually doesn't like basketball there's really no reason for him to play again

wearin his magical trade deadline underwear

someday i want to compile a list of professional athletes who didn't actually like their sport

i hope he plays again i liked when he gave each ref their own thumbs up he just needs to recapture that feeling

the NBA should just ban players over 6-10 tbh

it's gonna be hilarious if dragic forces his way out of phoenix only to end up on the kings or celtics

then if the suns go on a run and make the offs

someday i want to compile a list of professional athletes who didn't actually like their sport
