Dissecting the struggle of Goran Dragic (and what the Heat can do about it)

The Heat's crafty starting point guard is having his most inefficient season since he became a starter in the NBA nearly five years ago. Are the Heat putting him in the best position to succeed?

Stay with me here: I never liked the Goran Dragic trade.

I thought giving up multiple first round picks for the right to overpay him was too much. Considering you were going to compensate him for the second half of his career, decline could make the contract seem worse in time.

Pat Riley and the Miami Heat have rushed their rebuild, one in which they never really tore down the foundation to begin with, but given that they had already committed to the rest of Chris Bosh's prime and imminent decline as well, I could understand why they wanted to go all-in on this, even if it seemed fiscally foolish.
