Miami Heat Team Options: So… About ‘The Dragon’?

Some will just point to his age and though he seemed right, at times, this season, he wasn’t able to do it all the time. The belief here is that with a full year of recovery, you should see the same Goran from the bubble, fully comfortable with exploding and jolting off the foot again.

The age could be something, however, the only difference was that attacking ability, not the desire. He still has a few top-levelish years left, it seems, and especially if the Miami Heat keep using him like they are.

Though in less minutes too this season, they have concentrated him as a microwave off the pine to spot starter, when needed. In that role and with some attack back to him, he can get back to the Bubble Bull that he was.

With that, here is what happens with his $19.4 million dollar option.

Miami Opts-Out, But Looks To Bring Him Back For Something Close to Half Of Option Figure

They should, not only, bring him back for team and chemistry purposes, but they can still get some good production from The Dragon. Surely, he’ll want to be there and they should want him back.
