Update: Sam Amick of USA Today:
Zoran Dragic's deal is worth $3.5 million over two years with the Suns, I'm told.

Seems like a pretty fair price. Zoran Dragic is not an elite prospect, but the Suns had to lure him stateside.
Guards on guards on guards.
After re-signing Eric Bledsoe, the Suns have not stopped stockpiling guards to go with Goran Dragic, Isaiah Thomas, Tyler Ennis, Gerald Green and Archie Goodwin.
As expected, Phoenix has also signed Goran Dragic’s brother, Zoran Dragic.
Rafael Molina Guerra of La Opinión de Málaga:
Zoran Dragic annunced to Unicaja having a Phoenix Suns offer to go to the NBA immediately. He must pay 1.000.000 dollars (770.000€).

The Suns can pay $600,000 of that buyout without it counting against the cap. They’ll probably do that, offsetting the salary they would have made him by that amount.
Zoran might have a tough time breaking into Phoenix’s rotation immediately, but he provides nice depth. As he showed competing for Slovenia during the World Cup, the younger Dragic is a crafty scorer and solid passer.
The Suns now have 15 players – including Markieff Morris and Marcus Morris, another set of brothers – so they might be done for the offseason.
Unless they sign Bledsoe’s brother or something.
