A: For all the observations I offer in my blog, and for all of my instant (something too-instant) analysis I offer after trades, I don't actually get a say in the process. That probably is better for all parties involved. What I will say is the Dragic speculation certainly has merit, if only because of how dramatically the circumstances have changed between when he was brought in and now, with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh gone. However, I also believe this is not a situation when you act with haste. To me, you trade Dragic if you know you can get a lottery-level point guard who has displayed the possibilities of immediately stepping into an NBA lineup (and June's draft might actually prove prospects at that level) or if you can secure a similar talent in free agency at a more cost-efficient salary-cap price point, something you likely won't know until July. For all the South Florida focus on what Dragic isn't, opposing coaches offer nightly glowing pregame analysis of Dragic, including from Alvin Gentry before Friday's game in New Orleans. When considering a Dragic trade, be careful of what you wish for, and remember the lineage at the position for the Heat between Tim Hardaway and Goran. And also keep in mind how much Dragic wants to be here, including pushing through back spasms in Friday's loss. Put it this way, how many nights have there been when you didn't believe Dragic gave ultimate effort? And then ask yourself about some of the others he has played alongside.
