Goran Dragic is another player who can cheer on free agency. The veteran Slovenian point guard is pending the decision of the Miami Heat, a team that has the possibility of retaining him for another year through a team option of 19.4 million. But… what if they decide not to?
In that case, it is clear that the option to continue in the Florida organization, in which he has already been seven seasons, is a reality. However, Shams Charania from The Athletic points out that Miami would have competition, since there would be several contenders to the title and playoffs those who would be interested in getting their services.
It is far from a surprise. The Slovenian international has been showing himself for years as a player who provides order and security at all times. His numbers last year, 13.4 points and 4.4 assists in 26.7 minutes per night, say a lot; but they continue to stay away from all that he adds for experience and talent in hot moments of the games.
At 35, Dragic has not yet shown a slump in his performance that invites distrust of him. For this reason, and given that the Heat are not left over in the position of point guardIt wouldn’t be strange if Pat Riley agreed to a new contract for less money and a couple of seasons with the point guard. The resolution, a matter of days.
