Celtics Acquire Zoran Dragic From Heat

The Boston Celtics have acquired guard Zoran Dragic and a 2020 second-round pick from the Miami Heat, the teams announced Monday.

The Heat, who were motivated by shedding salary, will receive a heavily protected 2019 second-round pick from the Celtics that will likely never actually change hands. It is similar to the deal the Heat agreed to Sunday when they sent Shabazz Napier to the Orlando Magic for a heavily protected second-round pick.

Miami will also send cash to Boston to cover Dragic's salary. Dragic, whose brother Goran signed a five-year, $85 million deal with the Heat earlier this month, averaged 1.8 points in 16 games with the Heat and Phoenix Suns last season.

The Cavaliers have agreed to re-sign backup point guard Matthew Dellavedova, who reached cult-hero status during Cleveland's injury-plagued run to the NBA Finals as he filled in for Kyrie Irving.

Dellavedova, a restricted free agent, accepted Cleveland's qualifying offer and will return on a one-year deal worth approximately $1.2 million, a source with knowledge of the negotiations told ESPN on Monday.

By accepting the Cavs' qualifying offer, Dellavedova will become an unrestricted free agent next summer when the league's salary cap is set to balloon.
