Goran Dragic finally got his request.

Although, it seems that Norris Cole was traded last minute to the New Orleans Pelicans for…John Salmons.
I'm hearing the Pelicans made a last minute deal, still waiting on details. They may have acquired Norris Cole. Trying to confirm.

Norris Cole to New Orleans for John Salmons is another trade that beat the buzzer

The fact that the Miami Heat have greatly upgraded their point guard position, without trading Luol Deng has to have Pat Riley smiling ear to ear. Not exactly sure that the Heat stole Dragic away from the Suns, but I’m not sure it gets any better than what Miami pulled off, considering the circumstances.
A starting Dragic-Wade-Deng-Bosh-Whiteside lineup sounds awfully good right now.
