A: Which is what I started asking around about at Wednesday night's game. First, the Heat have insisted that the approach at point guard is not about the tax, but rather how adding a player to the roster takes a player out of the rotation. And I could appreciate that when you have Goran Dragic starting and then Justise Winslow playing as a facilitator with the second unit, you might be set. But Goran has missed 10 of the past 12 games and the situation seems somewhat murky. So what you really are talking about is having a potential placeholder at point guard instead of, say, going with Tyler Johnson in Wednesday's starting lineup. I agree it would have to be someone content to otherwise not play on the nights Goran is available. The only way it wouldn't make sense is if the Heat know that Dion Waiters is close to a return, since he is another option to facilitate.
