Goran Dragic Traded to the Miami Heat

Goran Dragic the talented Phoenix point guard who has said all season he wants out, has been traded to the Miami Heat. It’s unclear what the Heat gave Phoenix, but it’s at least two draft picks.

[UPDATE: The Heat gave up a lot — Danny Granger, Norris Cole, Shawne Williams, Justin Hamilton and two 1st round picks.]

The Heat, desperate to get in the playoffs and make some noise – forget about tanking to keep that draft pick! – suddenly look like a sleeper in the East: Dragic and Wade is a nice backcourt, and a frontcourt of Deng, Bosh and the emerging Hassan Whiteside, is pretty strong. There’s no depth, though. Right now, it looks like Miami will finish with the 7th seed – though a Bucks collapse isn’t out of the question – which could put them opposite LeBron and the Cavs in the 1st round.
