Haslem hopes to re-sign with Heat: I plan on being around at least another year after this year

Udonis Haslem hopes to play at least one more year and hopes to re-sign with the Miami Heat.


Per The Undefeated, Haslem, 36, is in the final year of his contract with the Heat paying $4 million. He hopes to finish his career with Miami and join the likes of recent NBA retirees Kobe Bryant and Tim Duncan as well as Dirk Nowitzki, who have had long careers with one NBA franchise. “My body still feels good,” Haslem said. “I plan on being around at least another year after this year.”
“There is a lot to talk about that. Right now, I am still enjoying the opportunity to play the game,” he said. “Trust me, when I can’t compete at a high level and I can’t keep up, I’ll be the first to step away. I got too much pride. I got too much. I got too much love and joy for the organization. “I will never put them in a bad position as far as having me out there if I can’t perform. When that day comes, I will step away. I would gladly like to see my jersey go up if that’s the opportunity they give me.”
