NBA Rumors: Goran Dragic Interests Lakers, Warriors, More If Bought out by Spurs
If the San Antonio Spurs buy out veteran Goran Dragic, it appears several teams will be interested in signing him.
The Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors could be interested in adding Dragic, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. The Los Angeles Clippers, Milwaukee Bucks, Chicago Bulls and Brooklyn Nets are also reportedly interested in his services, Wojnarowski adds.
"Dragic is emerging as the top player on the buyout market with contending teams confident that he has stayed in excellent condition working out in South Florida and can contribute in short order on a new team," Wojnarowski wrote.
The Toronto Raptors traded Dragic to the Spurs at Thursday's deadline in exchange for Thaddeus Young. Dragic played in only five games for the Raps before leaving the team for personal reasons in November.
The 35-year-old averaged 8.0 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.8 assists in his brief stint with Toronto.
The Spurs initially selected Dragic in the second round of the 2008 NBA draft. However, he never played a game for the franchise as his draft rights were traded to the Phoenix Suns.
Dragic has also played for the Houston Rockets and Miami Heat. He made a name for himself in six and a half seasons playing for Miami, averaging 16.2 points, 3.6 rebounds and 5.2 assists while shooting 45.7 percent from the floor and 36.5 percent from deep.
Dragic isn't the player he once was, but he's still a serviceable veteran who can provide depth to any contending team. While it's unclear where he prefers to play, it appears that he'll have plenty of suitors to choose from.
