We are a lower seed playoff team that could be a 1st or 2nd round exit. Dragic isn't going to raise that ceiling either and certainly not enough to squander the few assets we have. I'd rather dust off Zoran than give up anything for Goran.
The only leap this team can make is if a healthy KP can return to form and Kidd can figure out a way to make him and Luka work well together on the court. That's what all of our moves have pointed to, giving KP one last season to fit in Dallas.
It's not just about competing. It's about giving Luka a break. We literally have nobody on this team that can lead an offense, either when Luka is off the court, or to relive some pressure when he is on the court. Regardless of whether we are true contenders, we are going to try next year, and it will be painful to everyone involved if Luka has no playmaking help at all. It does not have to be Dragic, but its got to be somebody.
