Goran Dragic Says He Wants To Return To Miami Heat

Goran Dragic remains one of the most beloved players in Miami Heat history

 Veteran guard Goran Dragic expressed his desire to return to the Miami Heat.

“The main desire is to return to Miami,” Dragic said while speaking at his training camp to reporters in his native Slovenia . “Now everyone is waiting for Damian Lillard to decide where he will go next, so everyone is off to a low start. When this is known, the movement for the other players will open as well.”

When asked about why he wanted to return, Dragic said Miami is “his home.”

“My home is in Miami, I have both children who go to school there,” Dragic said. “It really all works out. I spent the best seven years of my career there, and I think returning to Miami would be the icing on the cake. That would really be something phenomenal.”

Dragic was crucial to Miami’s 2020 Finals run before getting injured in Game 1 against the Los Angeles Lakers. Since, he hasn’t found a solid team, playing with the Toronto Raptors, Brooklyn Nets, Milwaukee Bucks and Chicago Bulls in the span of two seasons.

The Heat could use backcourt depth after losing Gabe Vincent, Max Strus and Victor Oladipo. Tyler Herro is likely going to be dished out as well to acquire seven-time All-Star Damian Lillard. Dragic would be a solid addition on the bench with his team knowledge and veteran leadership.
