NBA Rumors: Goran Dragic Talks About Lakers as Free-Agency Destination

The Los Angeles Lakers have been mentioned several times already as one of potential suitors for Phoenix Suns point guard Goran Dragic when the Slovenian blur hits the free-agent market next summer.

On Tuesday, the reigning Sixth Man of the Year addressed the frenzy surrounding his pending free-agency and the possibility of playing alongside Kobe Bryant in purple-and-gold uniform.

Dragic, who is expected to be among the top playmakers available in a very loaded free-agency of 2015, stressed the Lakers and the 29 other NBA teams are all intriguing free-agency destinations for him.

"It's not just L.A. I think it's everybody," Dragic told Mike Medina of Los Angeles Daily. "Back in Europe, there are bad teams financially and teams that aren't organized. But every team in the NBA is a good organization."

Averaging 17.0 points and 4.1 dimes this season, the 28-year old Dragic has an early termination clause on his current contract that allows him to become an unrestricted free-agent next summer.

With the Suns already committing a long-term deal with Eric Bledsoe and adding another playmaker in Isaiah Thomas last summer, there are speculations the Slovenian might opt out from his contract and gauge his value on the free-agency market.

The Lakers, aided by several expiring contracts, have enough cap room to sign one or two max players next summer, but signing Dragic isn't going to be easy with the Houston Rockets and the New York Knicks also expected to go all in for his service.

Kobe Bryant has already expressed his desire to play alongside European players. There are speculations that the Lakers star's recent comment about European ballers being superior in skills-set than American players are aimed to make an impression for incoming free-agents like Dragic and Memphis Grizzlies center Marc Gasol.

Dragic, on the other hand, seems open to team up with Bryant in the future as he thinks playing alongside the Lakers legend would be beneficial for his growth as a basketball players..

"Any player that is one of the best players in the league would be cool to play with. Kobe is a legend," Dragic said "I know how awesome it is to be around those superstars. If you're patient enough and you listen, you learn a lot."
