Gmat,
I understand what you are are saying, but Magic Johnson is a top five player in NBA history that is 6'9" and could play every position. The Heat have two of the top five players in the NBA as well as Chris Bosh, Ray Allen, and a host of great role players. Their starting lineup consists of three fifths of Team USA's starting lineup if you start Bosh. It is almost not even fair. Plus the Heat have the most physical defense probably in the league and their athleticism is above everyone else. Their team has three of the best players in NBA history in James, Wade, and Allen who are shoe-ins for the hall of fame. Plus James and Wade are still in their primes.
My point is that I think that Dragic and Bledsoe are just too small to be the starting backcourt. Plus Jason Kidd and Kevin Johnson are far superior players to them, it is not even close. Bledsoe probably has star potential and Dragic is really good, but Kidd is a hall of famer with three finals appearances, one championship, and Olympic gold. And KJ hast a plethora of accolades as well. With that being said, those teams with KJ and Kidd never even got close to a championship at the end of the day, so it does not even matter.
The Suns are playing better than anyone expected and look nowhere near the worst team in the league like they were pegged to be. In fact, they are probably closer to a playoff team than a bottom feeder. However, the organization has even touched on how they do not know if you can win a championship with two pg's starting. We will have to wait and see.
As far as the Dragic/Frye for Deng trade goes, I am not even a fan of Deng, the trade will be done for salary cap relief and to open the sg spot for Archie Goodwin. I am a huge fan of Goodwin and I think he should be given 20+ minutes a game with him and Gerald Green getting all of the sg minutes. Plus I do not like Frye and would love for the Suns to trade him. Dragic would fit in perfectly on the Bulls too. They should probably throw in a 1st round pick honestly because Dragic is entering his prime, is playing fantastic, and signed for a few more years at a great price. Swapping Dragic/Frye for Deng would probably keep the Bulls as a top team.
When it comes to who the Suns would sign with all their cap space, I have no idea. They could even sign one-year deals this offseason and wait for the following year. Depends on who is available.
