If Dragic were about three years younger, I'd be intrigued. I think Dinwiddie (at least here in this system) might be the best player in that deal, however, and I just don't see Dragic being able to do what he does. Getting to the free throw line, etc. 

Plus, (less importantly) I think either Hardaway OR Dinwiddie could be moved (I'd vote Hardaway), but I think moving both puts you in a pretty huge bind, offensively. 

I think they made some good strides this year on defense, and I hope they take another step next season, but for me the offense is the thing they should be focused on improving right now. It was great at times, but not nearly consistently good enough, and the GS series (last thing that group did together) was abysmal offensively, imo.

Interesting.  I would put Din and Timmy at roughly the same level (with Din being the better fit) and Thybulle approaching their level with just a tad more offense.  I think Tobias is the best player.  He is the best creator with no real weaknesses.  He is not a bad defender like Timmy or a bad shooter like Din.  He can create some for others and score at all three levels.  He is the only guy on this list I would consider a no brainer starter.  He is just wildly overpaid.
