I am from Slovenia, so my knowledge of NBA is slim. But I even if Dragic is a Slovenian, I am not sure he is the best solution. First thing first, Mavs are just waiting for him to be bought out, but who knows if an another team is more interested; they will not wait like mavs?
Also, I miss a proper analysis of Goran's impact at Heat in the last seasons, because, even if he is a proper and true sportsman, living a sports life, father time is creeping on him too; in playtime and injuries. I am also not sure about synergy between Luka and Goran. Yes, they are friends, but up till this year in Slovenian team Goran was the boss and Luka just listened. Are they both capable to completely exchange roles (and egos)? Stars and players in general are prickly and what will happen when Luka starts to berate his former "boss" (from the last year) during the game? So, forget about friends and so and let us check facts, if Goran is really what Mavs needs. I hope so, but I am not sure as I do not have the analytics knowlege and nba statistics to check that. And I also definitely do not claim to have any personal or other knowledge at all about Luka or Goran, so this it is all my personal conjecture (and fear).
To quote Halfnir "Trey Burke and Ty Terry who qualify as PG in some manner"; I think Mavs needs a playmaker/ball handler who is justs that, and not only in "some manner", with all due respect.
I wrote a lot about this question because: 1. I think it is the number one problem for Mavs and 2. Instead of solving that all discussion is suddenly about shooters, wings and centers, which is nice, but certainly does not solve the main problem, that is, to find another ball handler to help Luka.
