Goran Dragic Trade Watch

[OE32]

Yes, INF doesn't like the direction of the team. But he always gives reasons for his takes. Sometimes he posts shorter messages or eyerolls, but he shouldn't feel obligated to restate the same reasons and justifications over and over. If you keep up with the board and posts, you know that behind that eyeroll or short post there was a longer one in which he explained why he feels the way he does. I don't see anything wrong with the way he posts here or the tone he uses in his messages. Some folks seem to think he's condescending, but I think it's more of one of those situations where tone and intent is hard to get across perfectly on the internet. I don't think he has any ill will toward anybody here or looks down on them. But we sometimes read that into people's words when they are being negative or disagreeing with us.

I've said it once, and I'll say it again, talking to INF is like having personal access to a scout of an NBA team. The guy is SUPER knowledgeable about college and professional basketball. He may not always agree with the direction of the franchise and expresses it in different ways..avatars, signatures, and eye rolls, but that doesn't make him any less of a fan. I enjoy reading his logic and rationale on moves he thinks we messed up on or need to make.

[LazarusLong]

He at least backs up his takes with some sort of rationale.

A person familiar with Dragic’s thinking said he “loves the opportunity” to join the Lakers and sees them as a “perfect fit.” But the Heat will have the ability to grant him a five-year deal worth up to $100 million, while other teams can offer up to a four-year deal worth $80 million.

What in the world makes them a perfect fit? There roster is bear outside of Kobe and Randle. Interesting though that still whispers of LA.

He is going for the kill. But having the privilege to pay 20mill a year for keeping Goran happy is Miami's problem now.

Oh man, if Dragic walks....

Sorry Informer. Took out my life frustrations on you. Keep doing your thing. Your knowledge is greatly appreciated.

INF for GM?

I'm not saying Knight can't be good to the Suns, but before the deadline if you had posted a proposal trading the LAL pick alone for him, even knowing no IT3-Dragic, you would have been banned form your own forum.

This. Fans love to talk themselves into thinking their team made a good move once it has actually happened.

AND 1!

Dragic is cray.

he's taking the channing frye approach. besides, there's only one more year in kobe's contract, then LAL becomes a premiere free agent destination again in 2017.

[Wally_West]

Anyone who wants to pay Dragic 20 million a year is crazy. Plain and simple.

You'll regret posting that when I give Norris Cole a max contract.

Thanks. Already forgotten.
