A: Working backwards here, I would think that Goran Dragic has gone from the rumor mill to franchise mainstay. Yes, he turns 31 in May, and, yes, the smart teams know when to cash out, following the Bill Belichick lead. But Dragic has proven to be the one player who sets the tone for everything else this season. Plus, his contract, at $17 million for 2017-18, is actually reasonable (in fact, in two years, Tyler Johnson will earn more). That said, I'm still not sold on Riley being sold on a roster that might have a 44-win upside. This is the summer, because of Tyler Johnson's contract, that the Heat have to lock in their future, and that will mean not being overly sentimental about pieces that are not viewed as core essentials. The core essentials at the moment are Hassan Whiteside and Dragic. From there, you have to go through all the salary permutations and figure out how that sets up your team for the following three seasons, during the most expensive portion of Tyler Johnson's contract.
