How much cap room does Morey have to play with?
Ken Berger @KBergCBS While we're on the topic, league sources say free-agent PG Goran Dragic also is looking for a deal that starts in the $10M range.

Not sure at the moment, but 10+ is way too much.
Excellent.![]()
He's not commanding $10 million in a league where point guards are aplenty.
Plus he's European.
A little high: I see him pulling something around 4 years, $36 million (no way he gets a fifth year). However, he'll get every penny of that $10 million starting + 4.5% raises if Williams walks to Dallas and Brooklyn gets in the mix.
If one dimensional guys like Stuckey can pull $8.5 million per, there's no way you're getting Dragic that cheap. Not a chance in .
He has a big upside.
Coaches and teammates love him.
He is a fan favourite.
Not injury prone.
Entering his prime.
10 mil is a lot.... but not necesarilly overpaying in this market.
If he really means $10M per and not $10M starting, then it's probably pretty close to what his market value will be. The 4 years, $36 million that I'm predicting would be starting just over $8 million with Bird raises.
Agreed.
H ain't givin him nothing bigger than an upgraded version of MLE which will be something like 7-8m/yr 4 year deal, if he rejects it then let him walk elsewhere. he's getting overpaid like JJB last summer but houston ain't the team that's gonna overpay him imho
In this market 10M a year would be overpaying but not by that much.
ben gordon is making 11 m a year
stuckey makes 9 m year
calderon makes 10m a year
dragic i s better than all of them
If Omer ing Asik can get $8 million certainly Dragic can get $10 million. I know he's a bigman, but , the guy's not that good now and doesn't have any kind of ceiling.
Completely different market for PGs, but you might be right and a team might get desperate a la Joe Johnson 2010.
They are talking about an average not a starting year salary.
I guess I could see 10 mil for an average... roughly, it would work out to 8.5 the first year, 9.5, 10.5, then 11.5 for the last year, which seems fair enough.
Dis is true but only Stuckey was signed to that in the New CBA, I actually like Dragic just think paying for upside is why the owners are dumb in the first place you should pay for performance.
Contracts aren't worth as much now as they were in the previous CBA. Less cap room to operate with especially with a worse luxury tax.
