No one gives a damn about Hassan or Dragic around the league. These are your run of the mill guys that are good players but won't attract other FA or take us to the promised land.
This is a star league now more than ever, guys are literally right now colluding all over the league to form the next and next "super team". It would be a heck of a start if he had a star PG that players all over the league love and want to play with.
This is where I like having Riley. I know most of you will say "no way our chemistry blabla" but Riley..... Riley knows what has to be done.
If he can turn a d league guy from Lebanon and Dragic etc into a young Star PG that will attract big names all over the place to Miami, he will do it no doubt about it. I have no faith in Riley to build a conventional team with solid players here and there 1-15. Riley is the type that will go for the big fish. Riley is the type of guy that goes for the disgruntled star. Riley is the type of guy that would make this trade. And I hope he does. This team is a mediocre team at best with no superstar in sight.
Go get him Riles.
Whiteside, Dragic, (anyone else have your pick Cavs) and we will even eat Shumpert contract to boot.
What's the alternative? Run back this same mediocre team and hope for the best? No one is beating the Warriors right now. So landing Kyrie could bring us PG13 next season and Cousins etc. This is what Riley is good at, and I expect Kyrie in a heat uniform pretty soon to be honest.
Wouldn't touch Hassan. He means too much to the defense, and he's not an offensive liability like some legit rim protectors.
