Even though it would thrill Heat supporters, there is still little chance that point guard Goran Dragic and the team will reunite in Miami, especially after the team brought Josh Richardson back this summer. In fact, there’s a better chance Miami would consider former all-star point guard John Wall rather than Dragic if they decide against using their 14th and probably last roster spot to sign a developmental player.

Josh Richardson seems to be starting as Kyle Lowry’s point guard for the time being, according to Winderman. “And if Kyle doesn’t start, I don’t think a team can use both of Lowry and Dragic, two 37-year-old point guards, as reserves. Now, that would change to calculus if Lowry is dealt. In the short term, then, your best bet might be to play the waiting game instead of moving to Goran.

Wall played 40 games for Houston in 2020–21, 34 with the Clippers last season, and sat out the entirety of the previous four seasons. While he still has some lead-guard ability, he averaged 11.4 points and 5.4 assists in 22.2 minutes. However, he is a poor shooter (30.3% from 3-point range) and defender, which makes him a strange fit for the Heat, who place a premium on versatility.
