European superstar Vasilije Micic has decided to play in the NBA next season. The 29-year-old Serb's draft rights are held by the OKC Thunder. He's a 6'5" guard for Anadolu Efes in the Turkish league, and lead them to the 2021 and 2022 EuroLeague titles winning the 2021 MVP and both Final Four MVPs. Also a 3x Turkish league champion with them, winning the Finals MVP this season just finished.
According to Thunder beat writer Brandon Rahbar "he seems willing to come down a bit on his contract, role and the caliber of team desires. Nobody knows yet if he'll play with OKC or be traded to another team." Previously it was said he wanted 6-7 million, starter-level minutes and to be playing for a contending team. He was recently in Oklahoma in person.
Fron the article before draft day
According to a source associated with Metropolitans 92, Wembanyama’s French team, the 7-foot-5 center recently had a meeting with the Spurs to discuss his vision for how he wants his first year in the NBA to play out. The most notable request from Wembanyama was that he wants to play in every possible game. The source told me the Spurs responded by telling Wembanyama that the franchise agrees with his vision and will do everything they can to make that happen.
Shortly after San Antonio won the lottery, I wrote that I thought the Spurs should use his rookie season to slowly but surely build his endurance. I envisioned the Spurs sitting Wembanyama in back-to-back situations when it made sense to try to keep him healthy. However, it sounds like Wembanyama isn’t interested in a slow approach.
The source explained that Wembanyama was very proud of the fact he didn’t miss a game this season. If he wants to keep his ironman streak alive in his rookie season, it sounds like the Spurs won’t get in his way.
