Rade Filipovich, agent for Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic, confirmed Monday that his client will become a free agent on July 1.
Dragic had held an option for $7.5 million for 2015-16 from the Heat, but was considered a certainty to enter the free-agent market from the moment the Heat acquired him at the Feb. 19 NBA trading deadline from the Phoenix Suns.
Dragic was acquired from the Suns along with his brother, Zoran Dragic, in a three-way trade.
