What makes Dragic stay on the team instead of going to LA (who are reportedly very interested in Dragic)?

I like Dragic, but I would be hesitant to offer a soon to be 29 year old PG a max offer. PG's are very abundant in the league. Dragic isn't even top 5 at his position, maybe not even top 10.

somebody should look into how often UFAs end up staying with the team they were traded to midway into their final seasons of their contracts.

I'm really of the opinion that Quin and Dennis could really sell Dragic on Utah. Especially with the role he would have, and the pieces around him.

Only teams who trade for guys like that are teams that are confident they can keep the player they trade for.

It would be far more likely that we would have just Booker compared to getting Super Mario or Stanley Johnson. Like Cy said, no guarantee that Dragic resigns...in fact, more probable that he goes elsewhere.

Honestly, I know very little about Booker aside from what's said about him around here.

I'm a fan of Johnson. I think he'll be able to contribute on the defensive end from day one.

I think Dragic is a great fit here. I just think the risk of him perceiving a better opportunity elsewhere is really high.


Ok, if I were the jazz and I could offload Kanter for the right deal (i.e. one that banks some value for him), and open up cap space next year in the process, then I'd fully support targeting Dragic in the offseason.


(Also, I really don't see why Phoenix would be that interested in Kanter)

You mean besides the fact that our team is way closer to actually making the playoffs, and not being in the lottery abyss for 4 more years.

Going to Houston would mean a smaller role in offense for him. Utah is one of the best fits for him.

How certain are we that mario and johnson are better than booker?

The bigger max contract with 5 years and 7.5% raises is the only thing Utah has to offer over other markets. And as you said, I don't see Dragic as being a max-caliber PG.

We aren't. However their ceilings appear to be higher. They have better physical tools, with a pretty high skill level.

I just salivate at a combo of Exum, Dragic, and Hayward-- with Burks off the bench, and Booker from the draft.


What are your expectations of Hood moving forward tho. Think he'll become a knockdown shooter from distance? We keep forgetting about him.
