Suns brought in Thomas and had a three-guard lineup, with Dragic usually covering players 3-5 inches taller and much heavier
He was handling the ball less, as Thomas absorbed more touches.
I think he had a right to be miffed.
That was the second time management went sideways on him.

Yeah, I totally get that first part, and don't blame him for wanting out. It was announcing it to the media at like a shoot around a week before the trade deadline that f*cked us over. That wasn't cool, and was no different (and probably worse) that Bledsoe's tweet.

As for that 2nd part--I never heard the whole story on his "accident" where he sliced open his foot (or hand?) and his trade didn't come too long after that. I wonder what else was going on.

Still can't believe it

Thank you! These other guys gotta be shitting me. No different than Bledsoe?! Please...

Dragic got absolutely screwed by McD. He backed the wrong horse. He had no talent for making a team.

And he deserved to be booed for those FTs. Those were absolutely Payton-esque.

^ OMG that's amazing. Didn't know it was THAT bad.

That alone explains why Adelman is in the Hall of Fame.

Kings went from being owned by the bumbling Maloof Brothers to the stewardship of the even-more clueless cabal led by Silicon Valley tech entrepreneur Vivek Ranadivé.

Don't think the Zion part becomes a factor but Go Willie G

If N.O. management was smart, they'd deal Zion now for healthier assets.

The problem is they all know he is going to bolt and end up in LA or NY. And those teams don't really have assets to trade for him (or wouldn't want to when they can sign/trade him later, or just sign him out right).

How funny would it be for the Lakers to trade AD for him?

I’d consider trading Zion this offseason. If he comes back and has a good showing the last 15 games or so and maybe gets them into the playoffs? He rebuilds some value, brings some intrigue and you ship him away for the biggest offer. This is assuming he’s not really committed to you long term. I do think they’ve actually built a pretty good team around him though.

CJ/Ingram/Jones/Zion/Valunciunas is a solid starting 5.

"Only" 4 games but my word lol
They did their thing against Nuggets last night

SGA was also very mediocre in that first game against the Suns of the four since the All-Star break.

He turned the ball over too much, but he had 32 points on 13/22 shooting and 5 assists.

LOL, right. He was very mediocre for his standard. 6 turnovers, 4 fouls and generally seemed sluggish.

Wow

Just FYI, that looks like an old graphic that Leezus posted.

And Stauskas....not surprised he did that in the GLeague. Jimmer used to do the same. Some guys are too good for the GLeague but still not good enough for the NBA.
