Could he be had for the MLE. It may not be the best pairing, but you could certainly have two really good ball creators on the court at all times.
One of the interesting things about what to do with Jalen has to do with the level of player you bring in since Jalen starting probably means you are replacing Richardson. I look at many of the FA PG's and say, heck, I'd rather start Jalen. But, if you start Jalen, you need a fairly high quality 3rd guard. Who is good enough to fit the bill, but not so good that he wouldn't demand a starting role. Dragic fits. He isn't a long term solution, but if you believe in Terry, he gives you a conduit until Terry is more ready.
I think Dinwiddie could be a really good scoring guard off the bench also. The D isn't great and he doesn't shoot the three very well. But, he scores efficiently and can play on or off the ball. I think Dragic is the better fit because you can play him with Green as Green takes on a bigger and bigger role over time. Green with Dinwiddie would challenge our efforts to play 5-Out.
