Is Goran Dragic Worth the Price for the Miami Heat?

The Miami Heat are back.

Not those Miami Heat, but the team is gearing up for a run at the Eastern Conference crown.

Luol Deng opted into another year with the team. And more importantly, Dwyane Wade is coming back and getting paid ($20 million for one year).

The team's new point guard, Goran Dragic, helped make that happen by agreeing to a less-than-max deal, five years and $90 million, in the interest of the team.

Dragic, 29 years old, got a contract that mirrors Kyrie Irving's deal (also five years and $90 million, according to Spotrac) and rivals that of Derrick Rose (five years, $94 million) and John Wall (five years, $85 million).
