"To be a point guard, to run the team, to have the ball in my hands, to try to make plays for others," Dragic said. "That's who I am. That's why I'm not happy to stand in the corner. I did a lot of sacrifices for this team but unfortunately I didn't want to."

Not surprised Ainge pulled out after the presser. Probably didn't want to deal with Dragic complaining about Marcus Smart having the ball in his hands to much.

Sucks if that's all we get for him.

Hard take on Dragic:

http://www.sbnation.com/nba/2015/2/19/8 ... stereotype

So, Dragic is requesting to be traded from a rather good team to one of three rather bad teams for some combination of money, spotlight and nightlife. This is the most stereotypical NBA trade demand of all time. And it's coming from Goran Dragic...By my count, Dragic's request is even more brash, especially coming just days before the deadline. Melo's simmered for months, well in advance of his free agency.

Dragic's list of acceptable destinations is a combined 45-113 this season. At least the Knicks in 2010-11 had floated to a respectable .500ish level with Amare Stoudemire as Melo pushed. At least there had been talk about adding a third star (like Chris Paul) and creating a superteam. There's none of that with Dragic. And he can't honestly believe he'll be better off playing with Nick Young and Wes Johnson than with Eric Bledsoe and Markieff Morris.

It'll be interesting to see how the media treats Dragic, especially if he lands on a preferred team. (It's highly unlikely, given the dearth of assets those teams hold.) If there was ever reason to ridicule an NBA diva for his blatant embodiment of the stereotypes of the modern NBA star, it's Dragic and it's now.

I'm getting dizzy going from thread to thread. Here's a single place to talk about Dragic's fate. Time is running out.

...and go!
