I think that’s why Kawhi asked Magic if he could bring in his own medical team/staff like Lebron did lol

If the answer there is anything but “yes” then the I would be shocked.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

He avg 20/6 and 17/5 (AS year) in his first 2 years of his contract before his injury plagued season this past year.

Overpaid my ass

He’s just uninformed.
Plus, figure in the Slovenia factor.
How much extra cash would that generate?
It was crazy when Mavs played here last year.


Honestly, IF this is only Heat move?
Are we any better short or long term?
Probably not.

Magic ain't a stupid man. sometimes a bad decision maker, but not stupid...

They kinda have to sign other guys on short deals. They're going to need another PG if Dragic is gone. Don't be surprise to see them give someone like IT the vet min to be the backup PG

 

[thunderc]

He's not overpaid at all. Do you see the money guys are getting?

The guy was an AS in 2017-2018. Last year he was hurt a lot.

He is also an expiring contract

If he is making $19 like I heard he is overpaid, he had a good year. They are all overpaid though lol.

Backup to Winslow?
Are they converting him to PG?

He is mildly overpaid.

But a player getting overpaid for 1 year is not a big deal at all. Dallas would have cap space to work with next year if they did this.

Has there ever been a longer starting 5 than this:

Simmons
Richardson
Harris
Horford
Embiid

That is crazy.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Can someone please explain the reasoning why Dallas is so opposed to taking Dragic vs the other 2?

Makes no sense at all especially considering he is expiring

 

[bksballer89]

I have to think so assuming Dragic is gone. He was at his best while playing PG last year and there isn't another PG on the roster.

Starting lineup likely looks like this assuming the trade still happens

PG- Winslow
SG- Waiters
SF- Butler
PF- JJ/KO
C- Whiteside/Bam

Prob, but they really need to do everything to move Whiteside.
He has no future here.
He wont get minutes.
Find a way.


And, no, Im not saying he cant play.
Heat is rolling with Bam though.

 

[WiggyRuss]

who has cap room to absorb a contract left? memphis doesnt, dallas might have just been effen with you.

Charlotte?

I bet he is gone by the deadline especially if he his playing well. Expiring contract.

Can see a contender needing a big body trying to acquire him for the last 3 months of the season

I suspect they don’t actually care but given that only Miami has already said they landed Butler - the pressure is on and they want to extract additional value from them.

About 5 teams from what I saw

Lakers would be a great option IMO. They need a PG and Bev is gone. Dragic would be good for them

 

[thunderc]

I see where the Thunder signed Mike Muscala, our worries are over I guess.

cuban just might like fucking with you guys is kind of what i was thinking. Now that the Heat have shown their hand they dont have much leverage here. They NEED a team to take some money for them and needing a team to take money on is not a position of strength in the NBA
