Heat plan to offer Goran Dragic a 5-year, $80M deal

[labelplant]

If you can't see this then from watching multiple GSW games, then I'm not sure if I should waste my time doing a write up explaining.

There is around 7 stretch 4s I can think off right now that can easily replace Draymond Green and do a better job. I don't think they will let him walk because they want to keep that same unit.

Like I said earlier, Draymond got drafted to the perfect fit. Any other team and he would have been out. Just see Born Ready this year in North Carolina. If he didn't have a 4 year previous resume with the Pacers, then they would have sent him to the D-League because he looked like he didn't even know how to play.





I know bruh! shyt is fukking crazy! People have no idea how good he is!

and This is a terrible post

He finishes at the rim with the best of them but the thing is with Wade and Deng on the team, you have a bunch of guys that do the same thing. Even with Bosh outside it's gonna be crowded in there, since they wanna get Whiteside going also.
If wade is healthy I think they will make the playoffs but i wouldn't call them a realistic contender

Both Wade and Dragic are capable off-the-ball players with Dragic being a pretty good 3 point shooter and Wade being a fantastic cutter (One of the best in the league).

A PnR with Dragic and Bosh looks very scary if Whiteside or Wade are on the weak side because of their finishing ability, great hands, and cutting ability.

Or even Bosh because you have to respect his jumper.

Seriously, I saw Dragic, Whiteside, and Wade look decent with Haslem and Deng.

First of all Bogut is a better defender than Green.
2nd of all green is a more valuable defender than Bogut

Bogut is the best rim protection big in the league. However there is about 15-20 guys in the league that can provide similar defensive impact (Gobert, duncan, Mozgov, Chandler, Jordan etc etc)
Green is irreplaceable, there is no 4s outside of Dray that can effectively guard all 5 positions.
He led the NBA or was one of the leaders in dFG% agains all types of plays (post up, Iso, pick-n-roll) and was one of the best at both getting out to spot up shooters as well as guarding the rim and even being a rim protector. The guy is the most versatile defensive player in the entire league.

Dude was playing in an entirely new system and had a new coach that was struggling to find actual cohesion with the squad.

Plus he was without the person who compliments him on the Heat because Bosh was injured.

When he's playing with Bosh instead of Haslem, I'm sure his assists will go up and scoring is gonna become easier for him. Dude averaged a pretty easy 16 on 50% shooting in 33 minutes of playing. Bump him a couple of minutes and get him used to a new system, culture, teammates, etc and I don't think 20-22 on 47-50% is an impossible task.

You have a point.

But I dont see it happening,you gave good reasons why it could and I see it possibly happening,but these things dont always play out.

Prime example,I knew for a fact,when Dragic and Thomas got traded that Bledsoe was gonna go on a tear as the #1 option and primary ballhandler,but it didn't happen as his numbers actually dropped,yea Knight was there but he only played a handful of games.

It's possible,but I dont see Dragic ever averaging 20 or more per game again.

Nah.

Nah.

Ok prob Gobert but it's close
You're being contrarian

No I'm not, Gobert is clearly the best rim protector in the league

Just being factual

It's arguable, i agree that Gobert is >> but an argument for Bogut can be made. He is stronger, for now more savvy and had the lowest FG% difference around the rim. Opponents shoot something like 12% lower around the rim going up against Bogut than they shoot on average, in the same area. Now I think that's a product of GS's defensive schemes and the fact that Bogut has other great defenders next to him (such as Draymond). But like I said it's close enough between the 2
Ya, Gobert has the edge imo but just saying. Favors btw is pretty big and athletic too, so having him around is pretty helpful for Rudy as well

Dragic is a lot better than Bledsoe and he's a much smarter player plus a lot of Bledsoe's best numbers come when Dragic is on the court because he's a good off-the-ball at helping clear out space (Little things like knowing how to properly space the floor in transition or knowing how to keep his man glued to him to open up things for his teammates).


If Dragic is the primary ball handler, I can see him averaging 20 because he's really good offensively. He's a pretty complete player and his game isn't really based on athleticism. If he doesn't average 20 on 47-50 then I expect him to probably average an extra 2 AST especially when Bosh comes back.

To my bros on here who are heat fans

This is a HUGE mistake

The lakers will NOT sign dragic for that type of money. They arent giving up flexibilty for a 29 year old who has been to the playoffs once and made the all star team once

Dragic should get 5 years 65 mil at the absolute max. Giving him this much money sets a bad precedent

If you give dragic 16 a year wade gotta get 22+

This is terrible

I like dragic btw, juwt wouldnt give him that

You have a point, but Riley gives no fukks about playing it safe. If the Heat don't max him, Kings might(assuming they trade Cousins).

Curry
Westbrook
Paul
Kyrie
Lillard
Wall
Lowry
Kemba
Bledsoe
Teague
Conley
Lawson

Lowry and Lillard i disagree with. Everyone else yes.

 

[Originalgangsta317]

Lowry and Lillard i disagree with. Everyone else yes.

So you think Kemba is better than Lowry and Lillard?

 

[intruder]

So you think Kemba is better than Lowry and Lillard?

Personally i think id take Kemba over Lowry.

This is not a shot at Lowry. I just know i like Kemba's game better.

As a Suns fan, I approve this message

And nikkaz think the athletes of this era are comparable to the 90s On what team in the 90s would Dragic be a starting PG?
