Who is dragic?




lefthanded PG from Slovenia. Young, talented, good size. Can shoot the 3 well, good passer. He is the real sleeper in this deal if true.


he only has 1 year on his deal left, however

I keep looking but I can't find me proposed trade that would have gotten us Westbrook, Ibaka, and Iggy that sent Paul to OKC.

It made sense financially.

Hornets fans called it dumb.

PG Jack/Dragic
SG Martin
SF Iggy
PF Scola
C Okafor

This would be a great starting 5. We would definitely be one of the best non-superstar teams in the NBA with that lineup.

The Lakers weren't the only team wanting Paul.

A scandinavian PG who got really popular when he rained three's in the playoffs for the Suns two years ago. He was traded to the Rockets for Aaron Brooks. Has some potential.

If only we could find a way to get rid of Okafor. I'd almost rather not get a pick and Dragic if someone would take Oak off our hands.

He's whatever nationality that fig for the Lakers who got traded to the Nets was because they had a pissing match with each other that one time.

Pretty much . NBA can go frick itself, though. We joke about CHAMPIONSHIP all the time on here but that team could surprise and win one with a few solid bench players.

Nope, and no other team wanting Paul was rumored to be offering anything anywhere remotely near what we got, no?

What are the rumors on Iggy?

Where are they coming from and for which Hornet players?

Sasha Vujacic. Good memory. They have a rivalry. Vujaccic is a total bitch.

Teams were not willing to give up as much with Chris not committing to an extension anywhere, so I like this deal a lot.

Maybe because we just committed to being a near luxury tax team for the next 4 years for a team that will be lucky to win 40 games.

Martin was traded for Carl Landry. Houston couldn't dump Scola. We didn't get Montiejunas. The Knicks pick will be in the 20s. And Odom threatened to retire when the Lakers tried to trade him for Iggy.

It's like Sharia law. We got raped and then got stoned for getting raped.

The hornets just conceded the west for the foreseeable future.


...and the laker fans are getting cp3 and possibly dwight howard.

I'm betting that we're not done dealing.

So, the better deal was?
