Goran Dragic did not have a good experience in Brooklyn. It was only two months, since he signed in February as a free agent and the Nets fell in the first round of the playoffs, but that short period of time helped him understand that the context was far from ideal to achieve the goals set.
“I already talked to Chicago last year, but unfortunately things went in a different direction. Well no unfortunately it just happened that way and I chose Brooklyn. I was the one who decided which way to go. I played with some stars like Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, and I must admit that it was quite difficult because the focus was not on the team, but rather on the individual performances of each one, “he comments in an interview with Zoran Mijatović of the Slovenian media Evening.
Finally, months after that election, the veteran point guard He has closed an agreement to play with the Bulls, thus rejecting other options such as joining the Dallas Mavericks with his compatriot Luka Doncic. In this regard, Dragic points out that there was no point in joining the Mavs because he wouldn’t have a place in the rotation.
“It was very difficult last year, but that is part of the sport. I am happy to have arrived at a club with the atmosphere I wanted, where I know I will play and I can be consistent again; that’s what makes me happy the most. I had discussions with Dallas and they made an offer, but I decided not to take it. They wanted me to play a game and then sit down for the next five… I know I can still spend 20 minutes on the court », he sentences.
