Goran Dragic refuted the characterization that he's upset with his situation with the Miami Heat now that Dwyane Wade has left the team in free agency and Chris Bosh almost certainly won't play for the team again.

"You're right," was Dragic's reply for the David Aldridge story posted on NBA.com, continuing, "but the main thing is, I want to win games. Of course, I want to win the championship. But, how you say: you need to go one step back to go two steps forward."

Dragic cleared the air talking to the Miami media.

"That was miscommunicated," he said of how his words were taken by those other than Aldridge.

"He asked me that question: Didn't I sign to be part of a great team, championship team? I said, 'Yeah, of course.' Then I said sometimes your career, this is business, you cannot have every decision go the way you want it on your own. This is a team decision. Sometimes you need to do two steps back to go one step forward. I'm happy to be here. This is the team that I want to be here. But I understand this is business."
