Interesting, although how they did it can be described in just one sentence. By offering him a ton of money. Don't really need a whole article for that do you?
Chandler is NBAs version of Mario Williams. We saw him and his deficiencies every day and knew he wasn't worth that contract. National media, for whatever reason, have a much more inflated view of him. We'll see in due time but I'll put money down that letting Dragic go was much worse for this team than CP.
I have a really important comment to make. Daryl Morey is much better looking than Mark Cuban. Cuban really is ugly as f**k!
Well it said ESPN and had Chandler Parsons in the picture which means nothing good. Parsons is not who we thought he was, best to just let it go.
I still believe that Mark Cuban made the offer thinking Morey had every intention to match. Our GMs basically f*** each other over.
A very accurate description on your part. I admit I wanted DM to match Cuban's offer after getting Ariza, even though I didn't like his contract or his inconsistent play. At that time, getting Kostas seemed remote. I am glad the Rockets didn't overpay for him. It seems like Dragic's player option might have gotten in the way of offering a max contract to Dwight. There is no doubt that we miss Goran's presence though.
