    Sorry, but can't believe I just watched that.

    I guess I make that deal if it's legitimate. Prefer not to give up another first, but whatever.

    its good for the heat long term. in two years tyler's getting 18-20m. they do this trade, they dont have to pay another 18-20m for dragic, and get an extra 7-8m cap space from brewer.
    they'll be lucky to make the playoffs with dragic as their best go to. have to wait at least year for josh or tyler or justice to be efficient go to's.

    it doe smake sense for the heat but there could be better offers for them.

    Just more sauces.

    Dragic did not want to come back when he wanted out of Phoenix.

    More on many telling Dragic to go **** himself since he didn't want to be here. :grin:

    Is Dragic to Houston suddenly possible?

    Is Dragic worth max salary? 77% said no

    Rockets pursuing Dragic

    Suns want 1st rounder for Dragic?

    Would you trade Donatas Motiejunas for Goran Dragic? 72% said no

    You run the risk of winding up empty handed. And I don't know that they would be in any worse position to go after one of those players following a Dragic deal.

    Now that Wade is gone, Dragic will finally get a chance to run his own team.

    This would be great. He thought he was joining a good Heat team but ended up with Bosh medically forced into retirement, and Wade leaving for the Bulls.

    No reason to believe this, but it would be a PG upgrade.

    This is basically the suggestion ESPN's Tom Haberstroh said in his Insider Heat article that I posted about a day or so ago.

    Dragic needs ball to perform tho and if he doesn't get it, he'll b**** about it to the foreign media.

    He only started sounding off when Hornacek had the idea to play him at SF.

    Reddit told me a Rudy Gay for Ariza,McDaniels and picks was more feasible.

    I didn't listen to the audio but based off the comments... Unless Dragic is a 2 or Tyler Johnson is a 2... Got a little "expensive" logjam at the point now... not saying Johnson is ready to run the team but after losing Wade and prob Bosh, might as well start over with Johnson. Dragic is getting older and I'm sure wants on a playoff caliber team. Not that HOU is headed to a deep playoff run but they are closer than MIA ~~ IMO

    Dragic / Prigioni
    Harden / Gordon
    Ariza / Dekker
    Anderson / Beasley
    Capela / Harrell

    Not a bad squad. Decent second unit.
