Miami Heat trade rumors 2016: Goran Dragic may be shopped
It may be trouble for Miami Heat fans as their team's immediate future is now in doubt after losing one of their best players.
Dwyane Wade is now with the Chicago Bulls after a fall-out with the Heat following contract issues, and now there are reports that suggest the team may enter to rebuilding as they move forward.
Christian Today reported that the Florida franchise may start to sell their assets to try and rebuild for a better future.
With the departure of Wade, the Heat immediately lose one of the most complete players in the game today, and with Chris Bosh's future still up in the air, then Miami find themselves in a tough spot.
The Eastern Conference has started to become more and more competitive and with all the losses, the Heat are finding it hard to keep up.
Bosh's future is reportedly in doubt as many fear that his illness will permanently hinder him. The Heat organization has been adamant that they are not going to risk Bosh's life for him to be able to get back on the court.
With this in mind, Sportsrageous revealed that there may be plans to let go of point guard Goran Dragic to be able to bring in more money for the rebuild.
Dragic came in from the Phoenix Suns in the middle of the 2014-15 season and recently completed his first season with the Heat.
He played 72 games where he averaged 14.1 points, 3.8 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game.
Dragic also has a contract that extends up to the 2019-20 season, where it is reported that he will have a player option entering the final year of the contract.
However, Dragic's contract will pay him $15.8 million this year and it will continue to grow as the seasons come, leaving the Heat with a big decision whether to keep him or find a new place for him.
It is still unsure which teams are interested in Dragic if he is being shopped, but expect a lot of movement if the Heat decide to let go of their current assets.
