Dragic also said that the Bulls guaranteed "20-25 minutes off the bench", backing up Lonzo at PG. That's the type of a bench role he wanted to have in Dallas. Why Mavs weren't willing to offer that to Dragic is still a mystery to me. They won't get a better PG for a vet minimum.
Goran Dragić for Slovenian media why he chose Chicago over Dallas:
“At the end of the day, they were not able to guarantee, that I will play. They told me that I would rather be on the bench, however that does not interest me, that’s why my signing there was not an option.”
Tudi jaz tega ne razumem. Boljše opcije ni na trgu, nobenega rizika tudi... ta napaka jih res lahko še veliko stane naslednjo sezono.
G. Dragić:"Bili smo v pogovorih. Dallas je ponudil pogodbo, vendar se zanjo nisem odločil. Predstavljali so si, da bi igral 1 tekmo, 5 tekem pa počival... Vem, da še lahko z lahkoto odigram 20 minut na tekmo. Nisem še za v pokoj, da bi samo sedel na klopi in spodbujal soigralce."
