The mother er isn't worth 10 million per. He may get it, but he isn't worth it.
Do the Suns want the 5th pick or the 14th pick?
That's the difference netting Dragic will do.

That's what I was thinking. Dude might have screwed himself royally by not accepting that. Still it's a little funny that Houston thinks Dragic is not worth more than Asik or Lin at this point.
More worth it than Francis ever was, real talk.
You do know this is just leverage to get Goran to sign right weak nut Traitor?
Not about just Lin. Omar ing Asik. Now go and praise your "God" Morey.
Aik
, I would sign Yao now if he would sign, just to get the Chinese connection. He doesn't even have to play, just suit up sometimes and make appearances.
they could give him an "unofficial" position just like the Sixers did with Dr J.
or you can sign the ex-mav Yi instead
A league source said Lin will be offered a contract today — maybe in the $30 million range — in a back-loaded nature similar to the one the Rockets offered Bulls big man Omir Asik.
“Jeremy Lin’s an excellent player,’’ Rockets general manager Daryl Morey told The Post. “We got to know him firsthand when he was with the Rockets early this season. We think he’d make a fantastic addition to our team.’’
Lin will spend today with Morey, aiming to make up for waiving the global phenom before the regular-season opener, allowing Grunwald to pick him up on waivers.
The source said the Rockets will offer Lin $5 million, $5.2 million and then plan to jack up the third and fourth years to as much as $10 million.
Lin — who also is drawing interest from the Mavericks, according to ESPN.com — played in two preseason games with the Rockets last season, but was released before the regular season and claimed off waivers by the Knicks on Dec. 27.
“We’ll take him out to dinner and show him Houston,’’ Morey said. “He didn’t get much of a chance to see it in training camp.’’Knicks PLEASE match it.
Lin,please sign this offer sheet before I suicide.A league source said Lin will be offered a contract today — maybe in the $30 million range — in a back-loaded nature similar to the one the Rockets offered Bulls big man Omir Asik.

I will literally lmao if the plan is to sign Lin to gain back the China market and trade for Dwight to sell him on establishing his brand there.
The owners are absolutely PATHETIC.
And Dragic is a ing greedy . No way is he worth a cent more than the Rockets offered him. He needs to be taken out back and beaten.
Wow to Dragic turning that down
Houston Rockets trade remaining point guards for future bag of avocados
Posted by Trey Kerby under Food, Houston Rockets on Jul 05, 2012
HOUSTON — In a stunning move that may change the economic landscape of the NBA, the Houston Rockets have agreed to trade their remaining point guards, veteran Earl Boykins and NBDL callup Courtney Fortson, to the state of California for a future bag of avocados. According to sources close to the situation, the Rockets are set to receive one bag of a dozen Hass avocados during a summer between now and August 2014.
Following today’s trade of point guard Kyle Lowry to the Toronto Raptors for Gary Forbes and a future lottery pick, a source told The Basketball Jones that Rockets general manager Daryl Morey had “found a market inefficiency” following the emergence of the Tea Shot Hole Borer, a tiny Asian beetle that is threatening California’s avocado production. According to the source, Morey decided to trade Boykins and Fortson because “he didn’t want to be caught making a sandwich without any avocados” and that “in a land with no avocados, the man with a whole bag is king.” This trade guarantees that the Rockets will be able to get a bag of avocados at any time, even though production lagged throughout the entirety of 2010-11 and may be headed in the same direction.
According to the source, even though the Rockets currently have no point guards on the roster, the potential to obtain a bag of avocados when the market has dried up was alluring to Morey because “he likes having roster flexibility and he really likes avocados.” Pressed for details on the Houston GM’s thinking, the source concluded that Morey “just likes to have assets.”
Others within the organization disagreed with the decision, with the source telling The Basketball Jones that “we just traded two humans for twelve avocados” and that “[Morey's] constant trading just to trade has gone too far.” Asked if they would eat the avocados, the source did admit that they would definitely enjoy some guacamole should it become available during a team function.
