 Miami Heat PG Goran Dragic

If the 76ers are really set at making an impact, the best option would be Goran Dragic.

The Miami Heat point guard is an excellent starter, bringing a well-rounded attack on offense and defense. With him in the lineup, Philadelphia would be able to maximize the talents of the budding stars in their lineup.

What really makes Dragic a realistic option is the Heat’s lack of future assets. With Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh out of the picture and minimal draft options moving forward, Miami could be looking to stockpile picks and prospects.

Dragic isn’t getting any younger, but is still effective enough to warrant a considerable return via trade.

ESPN’s Marc Stein has said Miami isn’t shopping Dragic yet, but that could change if the Heat struggle this season.

Obviously, the 76ers have several trade assets they could use to secure Dragic. Packaging Noel, a young player and a pick may be enough to convince the Heat to part with their guard.

With an emerging Joel Embiid, a healthy Ben Simmons and Dragic, it’s difficult to imagine the 76ers not being competitive in 2016-17. While the other players on this list would help, the Heat’s veteran guard would bring the most value right now.
