Translation:

Definitely, Zoran Dragic leaves Unicaja. The agency representing the Slovenian guard , BDA Sport has informed the club that midmorning Dragic has an offer for two seasons and the Phoenix Suns in the next few hours will be paid paying your -cifrada clause in a million of dollars and stop being typesetter team player .

The news has caught " Zoki " concentrate with the rest of his teammates in Istanbul, where the green team plays yesterday Glory Cup. Today's game against Olympiacos , Dragic is expected to not play a single minute .

On September 12 this daily forward the news that Phoenix Suns was interested in bringing on staff at two Dragic brothers. Finally, everything is closed , at the expense payment clause occurs.

The club will now get to work in the market to find a replacement to fill the outside game.

We are a Mason Plumlee trade away from having the most ridiculous roster in NBA history.

So someone tweeted in response, "is this official", and the original tweet-er (if that's a word?) said "No"...

The reporting on Zoran is getting ridiculous! There have been numerous reports over the past week that make themselves sound official, but it's still unclear to me how close this is to actually happening. I mean, it's probably safe to *assume* that he'll end up on our roster, but that feels like all I'd be doing.

Either way, I'm excited about the likelihood that he will end up in Phoenix!

Was reported on the news in Slovenia everywhere today. His father also gave a statement and said his son has a fighters spirit and he has no doubts he'll make his dream come true and make a career in the nba. But he never mentioned any teams.

Yes it is not yet official but should be soon. Zoran will have to fly to Phoenix and go through whatever they do before they sign a contract.

Zoran at $4M/2 years is a great value. I think he will surprise a lot of people, he is only one step or two away of Goran's ability.He is a better defender, stronger, better rebounder and his speed is equal. He is a worse ball handler, worse shot creator and he does not have great vision...but he is decent in all of this areas at least, so he can be a perfect SG next to one of our PG for some minutes per game.
I think he will fight with Archie to be a rotational player on this team....only one of them can play regular minutes at best.

I love the signing.
Great work McDonough.

I'm still not convinced Zoran is a contributor though I would love to be wrong. From what I've read, he wasn't brought in for basketball reasons.

It's worth 2 million just being able to say that the Suns now have the double dragon!
