Goran Dragic announces he will re-sign with Miami Heat

Goran Dragic announced that he is re-signing with the Miami Heat on Twitter Friday.

Dragic entered his sixth season with the Heat in a new role -- sixth man. He backed up rookie Kendrick Nunn during the regular season and thrived at it, averaging 16 points in 28 minutes.

But when the playoffs started, Dragic replaced Nunn in the starting 5 and showed just how valuable he was to Miami, averaging a career-high 19.1 points and recording 10 20-point games, the fourth Miami player ever to do that (Jimmy Butler, Dwyane Wade and LeBron James).
