too much money for dragic,.this is one of the main reasons we're in this wade dilemma. having to overpay players just to keep our team as a contender is forcing us to choose between keeping the queen or all of the pawns/support pieces. not good. wade and riley gotta figure it out. i say, hire wade as an "advisor" and pay him 15mil a year as an nba player. 5mil as an employee salary for being an "advisor"

80/5 would be a definite steal... which is why it probably is not going down that way

Idk about a steal, he's turning 30 so you're not exactly getting his prime years.

it doesnt even have to get that far. dragic is NOT an elite pg. hasnt even been mentioned amongst the top seriously. we made a shortsighted move with the contract we gave him to get him here.... now we're at gunpoint to keep this "good" pg? like...can u say with a straight face that dragic is worth 16 million a year? how many wins does dragic add to the team? we have too many point guards to BEGIN with. understand that 16 million is what the heat pay wade right now....

Honestly I thought it was a high number to begin with too. With how many great guards out there and coming up through the drafts... do they really need Dragic? What's so special about him... I'd let someone else pay him the 5 year max

They kinda out of options, unless they wanna let Dragic walk and draft a PG.
He's certainly not an elite PG but he can definitely be the PG of a EC contender which is what the Heat would borderline be if everything pans out correctly in the offseason.

theyre fighting to keep him because of principle. we gave up a LOT to get him. to let him go after playing half a season is stupid in theory. and thats why theyre considering this overpayment just to keep him here. truth of the matter is, they needed to focus on napier chalmers and cole. instead they dropped cole and picked up goran. napier has high potential but only if we push him to reach it instead of benching him all season (besides the injury). but thats spoelstra's decision and spoelstra doesnt do ANYTHING smart.
tyler johnson is a big factor. we could have wade run point with tyler as SG and we would TORCH. chalmers has made rookie mistakes for the past 7 years. if ANYBODY needed to go.... im just saying.

He just started getting consistent minutes like a year or two ago, his legs should be a little fresher than most would at his age... with the cap rising, 16/yr over the next 5 would be something
He's a great player, maybe more of a undersized 2 than a pg but none the less I'd call him elite

Dragic
Wade
Deng
Whiteside
Bosh
2nd squad
Napier/chalmers/Wade
Tyler Johnson
Ennis/Beasley

I wouldn't say that, he's been playing pro since 2003 and plays internationally.
With the cap rising, his contract won't be that bad but I'm not that excited about a core of Dragic/Wade/Bosh health and mileage wise for the next 4-5 years.
Whiteside and Stanley going to be
though.

Man, the Heat are cooked if they pay him that money.
Anybody who thinks its a good move is shocking the hell out of me right now.
I even heard "that's a steal"
How Riley let the Heat be put in a position like this in the first place wasn't smart but it happens.
If he follows that up with a 80mill contract.......don't even know what to say.

Yea except we haven't seen that team healthy so we don't know.
Reminds me of how everybody was crowning the Lakers on paper and the Nets.

HEAT would have definitely been in the ECF this year if healthy.
I remember peeps getting so sprung for a few of us saying that if They made the 8th seed they'd beat the Hawks.
The way people turned on the Hawks once the playoffs started and the real slim shady stood up, was some of the funniest stuff I've seen since joining.

How much exactly do you think he would be worth considering his market value then? random role players could be in the 80/5 soon... offer him 10,12 mil?

I'd take Dragic over Teague for sure. Rose, meh, I guess only if I'm worried about Rose's health.
Lowry, that's a push, I'm going with whoever would be the cheaper option.
