Point guard Goran Dragic just offered up a bit of sweet music for the Heat front office's ears.

As poorly as things went for the Heat in 2014-15, losing out on Dragic in free agency would be the ultimate catastrophe in the post-LeBron James era. Fortunately for Miami, it sounds as if Dragic is leaning toward coming back to the Heat -- and the financial considerations certainly point that way.

Under the current collective bargaining agreement, the Heat can offer Dragic a fifth-year on his contract and larger raises -- an advantage over the 29 other teams.
