Dragic is an interesting situation. He comes off the bench in Miami, but he plays starter’s minutes averaging 28.4 minutes per game and he is in a good spot with the Heat. However, and this depends on what Miami does when and if the playoffs do eventually start, he probably will want to play for a legitimate contender and take less money for a chance to win a title.

Yes, the Heat are ahead of the Sixers in the standings, but a lot of prognosticators believe that Philadelphia is more of a contender than Miami is. That’s what happens when you have not one, but two, dominant stars in Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid. Dragic is averaging 16.1 points and 5.1 assists while getting to the foul line 4.1 times per game. He would be a nice fit behind Simmons.
