Zoran Dragic to Cs

[Al91]

"Zoran Dragic, brother of Goran, has been traded to the Boston Celtics, per @LeBatardShow. Heat roster now stands at 15."

Per Joseph Goodman on Twitter.


Uh, what? I really, REALLY hope we have something else going down soon. Can't handle this roster of seemingly 8 guards and 9 forwards (exaggerating but still).

EDIT: Goran apparently "okay" with trade, brother is seeking more playing time. - LeBatard

PS: Wasn't sure if this was more appropriate in this section of our forums or in the Transactions area. My apologies!

pratice body!! I hope

Miami is way over luxury tax.  I will be shocked if C's don't get a pick for this.  Dragic isn't too expensive, so probably a 2020 2nd.

same, another practice body, don't mind it but I wonder what we are giving up

Dragic and a second rounder for a heavily protected (31-55) second rounder, per Twitter.

One of Sullinger's butt cheeks...

I saw this pop up on my twitter feed.  But none of the Celtics guys I follow had this.  Made me wonder what the story on this is.  So now 17 contracts.  Seems like something must be cooking...or then maybe not.  But intriguing...

Hopefully this is the '15-'16 version of of that '08 Pau Gasol/Marc Gasol trade, where everyone thinks the better brother is Pau and that Marc was just a throw in.

Come on Zoran, you can do it!

Nothing's really cooking.  C's had $4.8 million in temporary cap space that disappears once Lee is traded for.  Owners are letting Danny spend it to buy future 2nd-rounders.  Now we're down to a shade over $3.3 million.  We'll see if OKC can shed a little more.  DJ Augustin makes $3 million and the Thunder are at 16 roster spots...

I think another move will be coming, too many bodies either that or it is going to be cut city for us.

i hope another move is coming. but yeah, i guess that seems unlikely

I'm old school... I miss the days many years ago when trades were actually made because you wanted a player, not because of playing monopoly with draft picks.  Harder to be a fan of players when deals like this have become the norm.  But I digress...

It will be cut city.

miami-didn't dare cut him--let the celts do it and get goran mad at celts-for that we get a 2nd

[tankcity!]

So dumb. How is Miami's future 2nd round pick an asset? I don't get what Ainge is doing. Really annoyed with the unbalanced Roster. He's going to damage the growth of his young players if he has a bunch of guards.

[Donoghus]

Another warm body to make the guard competition at camp insane.
