Dragic signed with a Russian club team for the 2015-16 season, Tim Reynolds of the AP reports. |
Dragic, the younger brother of Heat guard Goran Dragic, made cameos with the Suns and Heat last season before being traded to the Celtics in July. Boston subsequently waived the Slovenian guard, who will head back overseas for the upcoming season. Dragic, 26, will likely remain on NBA radars, but it was clear after his first NBA season that he's not yet ready to be a regular contributor in the league. |

Dragic is expected to move back to Europe, Marc Stein of ESPN reports. |
Dragic was waived by the Celtics on Monday and now seems to be ending his attempt at a career in the NBA after one season with the Suns and Heat where he made a total of 16 appearances. The 26-year-old is reportedly looking for steady playing time and he'll be devoid of value in standard leagues until he makes his way back stateside. |
Mon Aug 10 2015 | 17:02 | Dragic officially waived by Celtics on Monday |
Dragic was officially waived by the Celtics on Monday. |
Dragic was traded to Boston a couple of weeks ago but it turns out he was just used to balance the accounting books and will immediately become an unrestricted free agent. The fact that he was waived should be telling of his expected value during the season ahead, as he'll be lucky to land with another NBA team before the start of the season in late October. |
Mon Jul 27 2015 | 12:28 | Dragic will have contract paid by Miami this season |
Dragic, who was traded earlier today from the Heat to the Celtics, will have his contract paid by Miami this season, and according to league sources, the Celtics already intend to waive him, the Boston Globe reports. |
It appears that Dragic's time in Boston may not be very long-lived after being traded by the Heat, as the Celtics have a lot of depth at shooting guard including Avery Bradley, Evan Turner, Marcus Smart, and rookie R.J. Hunter. Although Dragic won't be used, the Celtics still acquired a 2020 second-round draft pick in the trade. |

Dragic has been traded from the Heat to the Celtics, Dan Le Batard of ESPN reports. |
Dragic, whose brother Goran is Miami's starting point guard, is headed to Boston. Zoran is intrigued by the possibility of an increase in minutes with his new team, after averaging five minutes per game in 16 games with the Heat last season. The Heat will receive a future second-round pick in exchange for Dragic. |
Thu Jun 4 2015 | 12:45 | Dragic traded from Suns to Heat at February trade deadline |
Dragic was traded from the Suns to the Heat at the February trade deadline. Through 10 games with the Heat, he averaged 2.2 points, 0.3 three-pointers, 0.5 rebounds, 0.4 assists, and 0.2 steals in six minutes per game. Dragic is under contract with the Heat through the 2015-16 season. |
Dragic struggled to see the floor after being traded to Miami, and he never received enough playing time to be of use in most standard leagues. When given the chance to start in the season finale, Dragic showed his potential, racking up 22 points, three rebounds, two assists, and two steals in 41 minutes. With one year left on his contract, Dragic needs to earn minutes in order to have any meaningful value in fantasy. His brother and teammate, Goran Dragic, will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, and after they were traded to the Heat as a package deal from the Suns, there remains the possibility that Zoran could find himself traded or released if Goran doesn't re-sign with the Heat. Through four games in the D-League with the Skyforce, Dragic averaged 16.5 points, 2.3 three-pointers, 3.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.5 steals, and 0.3 blocks in 29 mpg. |

Dragic finished with 22 points (9-17 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two steals in 41 minutes during Wednesday's win over the Sixers. |
Dragic hadn't seen more than five minutes yet this season, so the 41 he recorded Wednesday were a new high, as the Heat held out most of their lineup and played just six total players. He also was in the starting lineup for the first time, which he took advantage of by posting season-highs in points, rebounds and steals. |

Dragic will start Wednesday's season finale at Philadelphia, the Associated Press reports. |
Dragic has rarely played since his arrival in Miami at the trade deadline, but with the Heat out of the playoff picture, he'll get the nod at two-guard. In nine appearances with his new team, he has yet to score, while recording two rebounds and two assists in 21 combined minutes. |

Dragic came off the bench for two minutes during Thursday's game against Portland. |
Dragic, not to be confused with his brother Goran, has only seen a total of 13 minutes on the court this season. That low total puts him in the running for worst possible fantasy option in the league this season. |

Dragic has only spent two minutes on the court this season. |
Dragic, the brother of Goran Dragic, is limited off the bench this season as he's the last of five options at point guard in Phoenix. The younger brother isn't expected to play often this season, so it might be wise to pass over the 25-year-old for the time being. |
