Dragic

Dragic was in total control of this game, and he also added six boards, two assists, two steals and three 3-pointers to his name. His role will be very limited with the Heat next season, but Miami has to be thrilled with his summer so far. He is not on the fantasy radar, though.

He scored a grand total of six points in the NBA before tonight, but the Heat allowed him to get some big minutes because they “rested” their guys. Dragic was pretty good in international competition, but he’s a long way from fantasy value.

This is a super-small lineup which the Heat are playing out of necessity, as nearly all of their veterans are taking the night off with the playoffs out of reach. It’s hard to trust any of Miami’s second-stringers tonight, though they’re all likely to earn big minutes by default. The 31 different starting lineups set a new franchise record, due largely to the barrage of injuries Miami faced this season.

He won’t be in the rotation in Miami, and he likely won’t have any fantasy value for the rest of the season. Leave Zoran on the wire.

He’s fine now and will continue to be out of the rotation. Dragic isn’t on the radar in even the deep dynasty leagues right now.

The full deal will be Dragic and a 2020 2nd round pick in exchange for a “heavily-protected 2nd round pick,” also known as nothing. Miami likes what rookie Josh Richardson brings to the roster, but beyond that, this particular move could save the Heat as much as $6 million. Dragic is not a lock for Boston’s final roster.

Despite the Heat moving both Shabazz Napier and Zoran Dragic within the last week, Miami is looking to push its tax bill even lower with a Chalmers departure. Even if he remains around throughout the offseason, it’s clear that Rio’s future with the organization won’t be for the long haul.

The trade has been officially announced by the Celtics, and the Boston Globe’s Adam Himmeslbach reports that the Heat will pay Dragic’s full salary after Boston waives him. The Celtics did the deal to get an extra second-round pick in 2020.

Dragic was never expected to stick around with Boston, so this isn’t surprising. Dragic could get a camp invite from another NBA team if he is waived, but there is no reason to keep tabs on him in fantasy leagues.

Dragic will join Alexey Shved on BC Khimki, although it’s currently unclear if Dragic has an NBA opt-out in his contract as Shved does. We’ll update the terms on Dragic’s contract when they become available, but fantasy owners can feel free to continue focusing all their Dragic attention on Goran.
