Goran Dragic Set to Join Phoenix

kobimel · Sep 16, 2008

Goran Dragic's imminent transfer to the Phoenix Suns is coming to an end. Dragic who was a personal wish of the Suns' general manager Steve Kerr will be closing the deal soon with Tau Ceramica and the slovenian combo guard will be free according to La Marca. Tau is already on the lookout for someone to replace Dragic and they have already considered french point guard Joseph Gomis what was released from Valladolid but they are also considering players from the american market like Smush Parker.

It remains to be seen how if Tau will manage to replace him before the end of the Spanish Supercup. Goran Dragic averaged 9.7 points 2.9 rebounds and 3.1 assists in the Euroleague this season in 13 games for Olimpija Lubljana.

t's been quiet on the Goran Dragic front since his agents negotiated a buyout that would allow him to leave Tau Ceramica and join the Suns.

That was a month ago but the fact that Dragic has not officially become a Suns member yet is of no concern. Everything is said to be on schedule, which would mean that he would be closing the convoluted buyout process from Tau by the deadline later this week.

There will be more time needed after that so that an application for his work visa can be submitted and he can return to Slovenia to finalize it. At that time, he would quickly return to Phoenix to sign his contract before the Suns head to Tucson in two weeks.

Despite being unsigned, Dragic was granted an exemption to participate this month in the NBA's Rookie Transition Program, a four-day, on- and off-court orientation camp.

The Suns closed voluntary workouts to the media this month. Five-on-five games began in earnest last week with the likes of Steve Nash, Amare Stoudemire, Grant Hill, Leandro Barbosa, Robin Lopez, Lou Amundson, Sean Singletary and Robert Hite being regulars. It doesn't sound like anyone has put in more workout time this summer than Alando Tucker, who added about 15 pounds of muscle. Every Suns player has been in for workouts at some point but these final two weeks before camp should include more daily appearances from others.
