Yeah, I don't fault Dragic for what he did. He used his leverage, and he ended up in a much better situation. Good for him. No hard feelings at all. I'm totally neutral about it.

Which one of these players is Dragic better than?

Westbrook
Curry
Paul
Wall
Lillard
Irving
Lowry
Conley
Definitely Lowry. I'd take him over Lillard. Wall's shooting and ball control is too shaky for me. Chris Paul is clearly a superior talent, but I don't believe you can win with him. Conley is more complete than Dragic, but I think Dragic can be more of an assassin on offense than Conley. Irving has taken a huge leap this year, but his defense and playmaking are still questionable.
So, Dragic over Wall and Paul. Inf, you've lost your mind.

Really? He got what he wanted. But yeah, it was unprofessional. Unfortunately, if he had remained professional, the Suns probably wouldn't have agreed to trade him.
Speculation on your part.

There's just no way he'd be in Miami. We'd have dealt for a better package. Credit the FO for making something of it. Unprotected picks are tough to snag these days.

Sure he would be. I'm talking about the public comments. He could of had his meeting and given his list of teams to suns management and been done with it.

The funny thing was hearing someone as mild mannered as Tom Penn call him out about it this afternoon.

I wouldn't take Paul under any circumstance. But Wall, I didn't commit either way.

i'm fine with the public comments. dragic is usually a mild mannered nice guy. if the guy is upset at mcdo for something, then there is something wrong with mcdo. i've seen enough of dragic to know what kind of person he is. no amount of "insider" demolition job (jkadway's jermaine oneal) can change that.

I appreciated the fire The Dragon showed all these years. "Face" of the franchise after Nash left. In the end he certainly turned "Heel" on us. Just as in any relationship that ends bad. The negative thoughts are fresher than the positive ones. Go stink it up out there to make us look better you @$$**** ( I never curse, so please forgive the explitives).

Agree with INF. Waaaay unprofessional but the Suns mangled the relationship. Still detracts from my good feelings about Dragic.

True. At least it was better this way than to lose him for nothing.

AT&T appreciates him so much that they let him roll over his data.
