    My question is this: could a backcourt with two left handed players (Dragic/Harden) succeed?

    the answer is : No!

    first of all, u need to understand what type of player harden is. harden is basiclly a pg play at sg position. dragic's game overlaps with harden as much as lin's.

    and dragic/lin's game is extrely similar! they are basiclly identical players.

    judge a player by ur emotions, op u are no diffirent with lofs.

    ^ That's one horrifying gif.

    Also to OP, probably not any better than Harden/Lin. Lin and Dragic are pretty much the same player.

    Goran is definitely the truth.

    Certainly a more effective basketball player than say Lin. A better fit as well.

    Gogi should have never bet against Morey. Morey built a winning team in a year while Gogi is stuck on a team going nowhere. McHale really liked Goran, more than Lowry even. He should have stuck with us.

    I was just replaying some of our games when Goran was with us. Yeah, I missed his 'controlled chaos'.

    Dragic is a HOF player so of course it would have worked.

    Would it be any different than two right handed players?

    Lowry would make the most natural fit with Harden, but that's provided he kept his head on straight

    Wade and Lebron both are ball handlers who needs the ball in hands correct. They have won 2 Titles back to back. So yes having two ball handlers could work. That is just one example.

    that's a fault statement. Heat struggled at start cause the roles of wade and lebron. Until they resigned the roles, Lebron became the main controller, then they got a title. Normally, one team can only has one command.

    It would have been an upgrade on defense and about the same on offense.

    Yeah, they "struggled" for 20 games, then made 3 finals, and won 2 titles.

    Please go back and look at every Heat game. Wade dominates the balls as well. They take turns doing that. And when they struggled with that notion their 1st year together. They still went to the Finals.

    I wasn't. Pretty good player but I knew he would be a die hard Sun.
    His mentor was Nash. What do you expect.
    After one year loyalty please?!
