If we can get Dragic, it won't be as good as getting Lowry would have been, but he should still be a solid, veteran secondary playmaker who already has a good relationship with Luka obviously. We will hopefully also add some forward depth with the TPE.
I forgot who said it, so many posts the last 24 hours. But to double down... Luka will not defer to someone else handling the ball (especially in crunch time) if he doesn't respect that person or view them as good enough. A lot of the reason JRich didn't work out? With Dragic I think the respect is there and would work on the court maybe even more so than someone slightly better (Lowry?) simply because of the relationship and trust.
I also view Reggie Bullock as the new Wes Mathews.. or at least what Wes was supposed to do for this team. 3&D but Reggie is actually better at the 3 and the D. Wes signed with the Mavs when he was 29, same as Bullock. Reggie is a career 39.2% 3PT shooter on 4 attempts vs Wes at 37.9% on 5.4 attempts. Wes was signed for 4/70M (6 years ago) and Reggie 3/30M.
