The 2020 playoffs where Goran Dragic averaged 19-4-4 and was one of the most important players on a team that made the finals feels like at least five years ago. – 1:08 PM Adam Zagoria @AdamZagoria

In all likelihood Brooklyn was the best place for checking both boxes of competing and playing a lot for Dragic. Kyrie is only a part time player and he has a better playoff track record than Curry. He wouldn’t have gotten as much run in Milwaukee during the playoffs – 12:57 PM Michael Dugat @mdug
I’d imagine Dragic no longer wanted to come to the Mavs with the addition of Dinwiddie … doubt he’s looking to be a 4th PG.
That said, regardless of context, hard to not feel like the Mavs airballed a layup. – 12:57 PM Eurohoops @Eurohoopsnet

Dragic has a real chance to boost his value as a 2022 free agent. I don’t think any other contender could’ve offered him such a high-usage role even if that role is only going to be available half of the time. – 12:43 PM Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
I’m VERY curious to see who the Nets waive to bring in Goran Dragic.
There is no easy cut to make. It’s either a rotation guy, semi-rotation guy or you take dead money on the books next year.
Remember: David Duke Jr. and Kessler Edwards don’t count, since they are Two-Way guys. – 12:40 PM Shams Charania @ShamsCharania

More on this storyline

Adrian Wojnarowski: The Nets are waiving guard Jevon Carter to clear a roster spot for Goran Dragic, sources tell ESPN. Dragic’s agent Bill Duffy tells ESPN that Dragic’s deal will be for the rest of the season. -via Twitter @wojespn / February 21, 2022 Word is Dragic was determined to spend at least a week evaluating the teams chasing him the hardest (Milwaukee, Brooklyn, Chicago, Golden State and the LA Clippers) and one source close to the process described as him as “really open-minded” to the pitches he’s getting. The Bucks notably have a significant backcourt role to offer, on top of their proven championship stock, while the Nets have Coach Steve Nash, who mentored Dragic in Phoenix when the Slovenian broke into the NBA, entrenched as their lead recruiter. League sources say Nash registered key aspects of the Nets’ bid to Dragic on Friday as Brooklyn also maintains hope that Kyrie Irving will be more available for the stretch run if the vaccine mandate that has ruled him out of home games all season is finally lifted in New York City. -via marcstein.substack.com / February 20, 2022 Marc Stein: The Warriors are among the teams in the crowded mix for buyout market darling Goran Dragic, league sources say. Milwaukee, Chicago, Brooklyn and the Clippers are also vying for the former All-Star guard. More coming soon: marcstein.Substack.com -via Twitter @TheSteinLine / February 18, 2022
