Miami Heat Rumors: Update on Dion Waiters' future with the Heat, Goran Dragic unlikely to be traded and more

#2 Goran Dragic likely to remain with the Heat until the end of the season

Goran Dragic has made a big impact from Miami's bench

During the opening hours of the offseason, the Miami Heat agreed to send Goran Dragic to the Dallas Mavericks. However, a deal was called off by the Mavericks over what they cited as miscommunication, and Dragic has since embraced a bench role in Miami and is firmly in contention to be named Sixth Man of the Year.

With less than a year remaining on his deal, Dragic's long-term future in Miami is still far from assured, although a Heat official told Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald that the organization was happy with Dragic and are glad that he was retained over the summer.

With this in mind, a trade ahead of the deadline appears unlikely, and it is possible that the Slovenian could extend his stay if he is willing to take a pay cut next summer.
