The Miami Heat surprised everyone last season with an astounding run in the 2020 Playoffs that only culminated at the hands of the LA Lakers in Game 6 of the Finals. Goran Dragic, who missed the Finals series because of an injury, was one of the key players for the Heat in their incredible postseason run. Unsurprisingly, the player has caught the attention of several teams ahead of the upcoming NBA Free Agency 2020.

On that note, let's have a look at five probable teams for Goran Dragic this off-season.

NBA Free Agency 2020: Five best destinations for Goran Dragic ahead of the 2020-21 season

For this list, we have considered contending franchises that could choose the 34-year-old Goran Dragic in NBA Free Agency 2020 to bolster their rosters, as the player would likely want to win an NBA championship before calling it a day. So, without further ado, let's get started.


#5 LA Clippers

Despite being the favorites to win it all last season, the LA Clippers flamed out in the second round against the Denver Nuggets.

With the LA Clippers roster seemingly lacking an offensive-minded point guard, the 34-year-old Goran Dragic could be the perfect player in that regard.

Goran Dragic has a high basketball IQ and has an uncanny knack of making the right reads during games. He has the ability to make his teammates better and seldom fails to get his team in rhythm.

While the LA Clippers may have to sacrifice a little at the defensive end to accomodate the player, Goran Dragic could massively bolster the team's offense if he is acquired by the franchise in the NBA Free Agency 2020.


#4 Denver Nuggets

The Denver Nuggets were yet another team that defied all expectations during the 2020 NBA postseason, where they made the finals in a very stacked Western Conference.

However, to continue their success next season, the team likely needs a veteran figure who could don the role of a secondary ball-handler for Jamal Murray while also being the third option.

Goran Dragic, who was incredible in offense for the Miami Heat last season, could elevate the Nuggets' attacking threat if he is picked up by the franchise in the NBA Free Agency 2020.

The player's arrival could also significantly improve the Denver Nuggets' chances of reaching the NBA finals next season.

#3 Golden State Warriors

With Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson returning to the fold next season, the Golden State Warriors could be on the hunt for yet another NBA championship. However, the Warriors roster still has a few holes that need to be plugged ahead of the next season, one of them being the absence of a backup point guard.

Goran Dragic could be that player for the Warriors if he is picked up by the franchise in the NBA Free Agency 2020. The 34-year-old would be almost guaranteed to play big minutes for the Warriors due to Steve Kerr's high player rotation system. Moreover, the player could also slot in as a shooting guard whenever needed and is also capable of being a high volume scorer as well.

With the franchise reportedly interested in some of the players entering the NBA Free Agency 2020, a Goran Dragic move to the Bay area could well be on the cards ahead of the start of the next season.


#2 Miami Heat

After bouncing around the NBA for a while, Goran Dragic may have found his perfect home at the Miami Heat.

The Miami Heat's system is a brilliant one, and the 34-year-old is an integral part of it. With the Heat, Goran Dragic went to the NBA Finals last postseason and could have the chance to do it again in the near future if he opts to return to the franchise in NBA Free Agency 2020.

With reports indicating that the franchise wants to retain the player in its roster, one of Goran Dragic's best options would be to stay put with the Miami Heat during NBA Free Agency 2020.


#1 LA Lakers

Despite the LA Lakers winning an NBA championship last season, reports have suggested that Rajon Rondo could opt out of his contract during NBA Free Agency 2020. If tthat happens, it would leave a massive gap in the roster of the LA Lakers.

To plug that hole, Goran Dragic could be the player for the LA Lakers if they pick him up in NBA Free Agency 2020. While the 34-year-old is not nearly as good as Rondo in defense, offensively, his skills are at a similar level, if not better than Rondo's.

Dragic could be the secondary ball-handler to LeBron James whenever the legend would need some rest. Couple that with the fact that the LA Lakers are more than likely to win another championship next year, this move could be a very attractive proposition for the player in NBA Free Agency 2020.

With the opportunity to win it all with the Lakers, Goran Dragic should seriously consider moving to the reigning champions in NBA Free Agency 2020.
