Goran Dragic

[dannysc305]

With Dwyane Wade no longer there stepping on his toes, how good can he be?

[WayOfWad3]

Better, but not PHX good. I've seen lots of highlights from his Phoenix days and it's clear he had more confidence and more freedom than he has in Miami. Also he's now 3 years removed from his great year and is now on the wrong side of 30. I believe he'll do good though

[PJR]

His usage rate is going to be significanly higher without Wade handcuffing him. 19/6 on 57 TS% is my expectation. He's only 30.

[Lebronxrings]

hes shown he can be an all star and a top 5-7 PG in the nba without a ball dominant guard with him.

[To4]

As seen in his PHX years, the tempo or game plan was faster..

When you see Heat this year. it was slow paced and more half-court.

He is still a bit effective in this system, but he is more suited in an uptempo system.. dunno about spoelstra on this.

Is Tyler Johnson the starting 2?

[plowking]

He sucks, so I don't expect much.

[Spurs m8]

Eh.

Wouldn't want.

Would take over Parker tho lol

Not for that contract though.

[raprap]

If they play with pace he's going to be better. Still didn't deserve that contract tho.

[PJR]

Dragic's contract annual average is 17 million.

That's 17% of a 94MM salary cap. It's going to be an even less percentage after the spike to 102+ million next summer. Dragic's contract is fantastic now. He's getting paid half as much as Mike Conley, and is getting paid less than Kent Bazemore

[PJR]

Is Tyler Johnson the starting 2?

Josh Richardson will start, with Tyler getting the reserve minutes at both guard posistions.

Considering both those young studs are excellent 3 point shooters, Dragic, and the Heat in general will have much better spacing, along with great pace.

He sucks, so I don't expect much.

Agreed, but lets hope that he finds his form and is better than '14 Finals Wade, defensively. If he doesn't, it's going to be a long shitty season.

[OnFire]

Eh.

Wouldn't want.

Would take over Parker tho lol

Not for that contract though.

He has similar stats as Mike Conley and makes around half.. Contract is good post 2016 free agency.

Conley is a better shooter and a significantly better defender.

[Klay 3D]

I'd be surprised if he matches or tops 20/6/3 on 50/40/76 like he did back in Phoenix.

I want the Heat's offense to go through Dragic 95% of the time and then trade him after near years to a fake contender like the Hawks or the Rockets. Mavs? Magic?
