Zoran joins his brother 

Post#1 » by Bizz » Sun Sep 21, 2014 10:12 am

Zoran Dragic will play for the Phoenix Suns next season. The FO reportedly made an offer and is only up to Zoran to negotiate a buyout with his club Unicaja Malaga. http://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/23 ... pe-For-NBA

Zoran was great this summer for Slovenian NT where he was the best player on the team on certain occasions. He really improved his 3pt shoot so much that he is now a legit threat. He is also good and creative at penetrating to the hoop and exceptional on fast break. But his calling card is his defense. He is an energetic player that doesn't back down from no one. (players trying to go at Dragon better watch out, because his younger brother can breathe fire to). He made his name in WC holding Francisco Garcia who was previously top scorer of the tournament to 7 points (3 of them he scored on another defender). Than he defended James Harden against USA and poor James was 1-10 while the baby dragon was defending him. Harden did score some more after the game was already a blowout. Zoran will be one of the best perimeter defenders on the team and I fully expect both brothers to play better together so great pickup for PHX.

Nowhere in the article you posted did it say he's joining the Suns for sure.

It is said to be an almost done deal.. Zoran has to negotiane his buyout, pay it and then he can join the Suns.. It is said to be a 2 year contract.. Surely has to be at least around 2mil/year

Not only is this not official yet, there's already an offseason thread.

This is way premature. Article says nothing about him joining the Suns after the buyout.

Plus Suns already being at the maximum player count...

I cant see them dropping any of the rookies they drafted the last 2 years... and dropping Randolph?.. well probably a chance there, but at some point Suns need to have a minimum amount of "big" men and point guards.
