After reportedly being open to trade rumors, Miami Heat point guard Goran Dragic decided to address the circulating speculation after Thursday night’s victory against the Los Angeles Lakers.
Dragic, who has been the subject of trade rumors all season long, is clearly irked at this point as he tries to lead his Miami team to a winning record.
“It didn’t come from me,” said Dragic in response to rumors saying that he wanted to be traded. “That’s not true, I totally deny that. That’s bullshit man.”
Along with rising star center Hassan Whiteside, the 30-year-old point guard has been doing most of the heavy lifting this season for the Heat, which has amassed a putrid 10-20 record thus far.
The Slovenian point guard is having one of the best seasons of his career with averages of 19.2 points, 6.7 assists and a career-high 4.0 rebounds.
Dragic’s direct quotes should put a hold to the rumors for now, but should the Heat go on another losing streak, there’s no doubt that the the whispers will start back up again.
