Erik Spoelstra to run offense better suited for Goran Dragic: The Heat will expect Goran Dragic to be more assertive offensively without Dwyane Wade. So how did Dragic play without Wade? Since joining the Heat, Dragic has averaged 14.8 points and 5.7 assists and shot 48.3 percent overall. In the eight games he played without Wade, he produced bigger numbers (17.6 points, 6.6 assists) but shot worse (43.2 percent). Erik Spoelstra, who likes to strengthen relationships with his players during the summer, is visiting Dragic in Slovenia this weekend. -- The Miami Herald
