Miami Heat point guard Goran Dragic becomes an unrestricted free agent this summer and the lefty has no plans to retire.
Dragic, 33, says he can still play “three or four years” more in the NBA:
“I think I can still play three or four years easy,” Dragic said, via the Miami Herald. “Of course, it all depends how my health is going to be. So far, so good. I’m doing everything right, what they’re telling me to do to prepare my body and to be fresh. If I’m going to continue to play like this and feel like this, it’s going to be good.”
Goran Dragic only played in 36 games last season for the Heat because of a knee procedure he had in December. The veteran has appeared in 26 games this season and is averaging 15.9 points, 3.2 rebounds and 5.0 assists while shooting 45.1 percent from the field, 41.2 percent from beyond the arc and 72.3 percent from the free-throw line.
The Heat are 26-10 on the season. They are in third place in the Eastern Conference standings. The Heat are 19-7 when Dragic plays. Miami is well on its way to making the playoffs after missing it last season.
We'll see if the Heat have interest in bringing Dragic back. Rookie Kendrick Nunn is the starting point guard in South Beach and has an incredibly bright future ahead of him.
