Zoran Dragic Traded to Boston Celtics
According to ESPN's Dan Le Batard and Brian Windhorst , the Miami Heat have traded Zoran Dragic and a future second-round pick to the Boston Celtics for a heavily-protected second-round pick. LeBatard notes that Dragic's brother and starting Heat point guard Goran Dragic is "fine" with the trade since Zoran wants more playing time. This was a cost-saving and roster-clearing move by the Heat. Dragic hardly played, and with the recent trade of Shabazz Napier to the Orlando Magic, the Heat are trying to get under the luxury-tax bill. According to the Boston Globe 's Adam Himmelsbach , the Celtics will waive Dragic and the Heat have agreed to pay his salary. For Boston, this trade was mainly about the second-round pick, which gives the Celtics an asset in future trades.
