I have always liked Dragic since his Phoenix days. Phx made a mistake doing this and they even sent a first rounder along for Aaron Brooks who is not a pure point guard and wasnt getting along with coach Adelman in Houston. Dragic is probably one the most signable ufas available to the Raps for a position of need. We can still keep Jose but it also provides flexibility and better defense at the position. I have never seen a game where he hasnt played hard. He has just an all around game, is young, experienced now and stable personality (like Jose). As a Euro he may like what is happening in TO as well.

All he needs is (mins) and we could give him that next year and we could end up with a good pg going forward with the youth we got.

GD vs JB
So the question becomes how do you weigh Goran versus Jerryd?
Is JB a better defender? Does Goran's better ability to facilitate the offense outweigh JB's ability to get his own?
Goran Dragic's Career Stats

Jerryd Bayless' Career Stats

Hint: you can click on any one of those, and use the nifty auto-trader compare a player feature, for a 2011-2012 comparison.
Nothing really jumps out at me, they both have similar numbers. JB turns the ball over a bit more, and scores a bit more, with better efficiency. Goran assists more.
I'm hanging with JB for now, hopefully we get to see more of him in the remaining games.
Edit: JB's out for the season - per Matt Devlin's tweet (Brought to my attention by RaptorsFan4Life).

Overall greatly skilled, underrated athleticism, and still much potential left within' the guy.
IMO, whoever is the point guard, they're behind Calderon, and either of them I'm fine with.Twitter: @ReubenJRD • NBA, Raptors writer for Daily Hive Vancouver, Toronto.

Batum interview
As your contract expires this summer, we have to ask : would you rather play for a contender with a minor role or for a team trying to reach the playoffs with a major role ?
I was expecting this one. I'll be honest : both. And I'll consider the offers when it's time, right now it's too soon. You want to win and play for a "win now" team. But if that means being benched, no thanks. A winning team with a big role, I'm ok. An average team that I help winning, I'm fine too.
That's us !
