DFS is one of our two decent starters (alongside our franchise player). If we're giving him up, it had better be for a star - Collins, Grant, Wood, Ball, Brogdon (I know), maybe CP3. Not in a Lowry SnT for sure.

Once again, it had damn well better be worth it. If DFS were the necessary piece to trading KP into air or for something of value (e.g. a starter + a rotation player), then maybe I would consider that. Dumping KP is that key to the future.

Yeah, with a great chip like DFS maybe we could find an ultimate glue guy, offensive rebounder who hits 3s, fits great with Luka, is the ultimate teammate and is showing signs of rounding out his game with flooring the ball and driving to the basket.

That's what I'm saying - the return would have to be spectacular. Or is that a hyperbole?

Man I was all in on Collins, seems so long ago. Gone from Collins to Lowry now feels like its just going to be THJ + other things.
My latest guess is THJ, Portis, Dragic, Sterling Brown. THJ gets starter money, Portis starts. Dragic off the bench with Brunson, S. Brown, Maxi, Powell. Young guys fighting for minutes. Portis I think would help the frontcourt and Dragic would help fix the bench.

Now that we have the Grant question out of the way. Why does Dragic’s name keep coming up around here? He hasn’t been on record as wanting to come here since he laughed at the thought back in 2015. Luka has friends telling him there are better cities than Dallas to play (easy speculation is Dragic). He can still be friends with Luka and play in a different city.
Have I missed the quote from him that if Miami moves on from him, he wants to play here with Luka (not play with Luka cause he can continue to try to recruit him wherever he decides to play)?

My list is Portis or Nance for front court, Dragic or TJM for back court.

Honestly, THJ + other things is probably the best outcome given this free agency class IF the plan is to retain KP for the season. Fix the rotation and give yourself tradeble contracts should other opportunities arise.

I would bet anyone a signature bet that he isn’t coming here whenever he gets to FA next (be it this year or next). Even if Luka was his best friend he wouldn’t play for this city. Duffy can’t do anything to change that opinion. Only possible way to me is if we money-whip him and that goes against one of the reasons you want him here.

Dragic will prob go to the team that offers him the most money. If he wants to stay in Miami he will have to take a hometown discount.
