His insistence still doesn’t pay off. While the Heat must now turn the page on the Damian Lillard case, the idea of bringing back Goran Dragic would not be current, according to the Miami Herald. However, exchanges in this direction took place this summer and the 37-year-old player has shown more than once his desire to return to Florida.
But the Florida franchise, which lost Gabe Vincent during the “free agency”, perhaps has a greater desire to rejuvenate his position 1, still occupied by a Kyle Lowry just as old as the Slovenian and a Tyler Herro who was the centerpiece of the trade attempt to get Damian Lillard back. Luka Doncic’s teammate in the selection, who had given up on the World Cup, therefore remains waiting for a phone call.
Since his departure from Miami, Goran Dragic has navigated between the Raptors, the Nets, the Bulls as well as the former Blazers superstar’s new team, the Bucks.
We recall that in seven seasons in Florida (2014-2021), the Slovenian averaged 16 points and 5 assists for Erik Spoelstra’s squad, and above all won his only All-Star selection in 2018.
