36-year-old Dragic joined the Windy City with a one-year contract of 2.9 million.
Dragic originally wanted to follow the Nets to win his first championship last season, but he never thought that the team would fail in the first round of the playoffs; however, he did not want to end his career hastily. NBA career, decided to join a new team to contribute his last remaining strength.
lost Brunson's and the Mavericks is indeed a good next home, and he can also join forces with his national teammate Dong 77. But Dragic still rejected the Mavericks' contract because he didn't want to be a cheerleader on the bench.
Looking at the Mavericks' general book, it is indeed the case. Putting aside the ball-carrying core of the East 77, Hardaway Jr. , as the top shooter, will also take away a lot of shooting rights. New aid Wood is also keen on it. Playing alone, with Dinwiddie sitting underneath waiting for opportunities to come on, the living space is not very friendly for the 36-year-old veteran.
But after coming to Bulls , he may not be able to grasp the top position. There are LaVine and Azan at the top, and Ball, Caruso , Kobe White... I can only say that he joined the Bulls. , in addition to the vigorous recruitment of his friend Vucevic , it is to make up for the regrets of the year -
Maybe some brothers don’t know that before choosing the Nets, Dragic’s first choice was the Bulls, and finally because of joining Things don't develop smoothly and things don't go as expected.
Now it’s a two-way journey. When it was thought to be a happy ending, Dragic’s comments about his former teammates caused a stir...
was interviewed by Slovenian newspaper "Vecer" During the interview, Dragic talked about his feelings of cooperating with Adu and Awen, and sighed: "That time was very difficult because they didn't seem to have the intention to work as a team. They focused too much on individual performance. ."
There was a lot of discussion after this statement came out.
In fact, it is normal for a defender to have this idea, especially as a European point guard and Nash disciple, Dragic will be more inclined to team basketball. This was the case when he played for the Suns and Heat. The same was true when was playing;
After coming to the Nets, suddenly there were two major scorers taking turns holding the ball and playing stand-up singles. Of course, I felt out of place and extremely uncomfortable;
But for Adu and Awen, instead of To say that the two brothers advocate playing alone, it is better to say that the Nets' lineup system and Nash's simple tactics force them to shoulder heavy responsibilities and use their personal abilities to solve the game.
is unable to connect the whole team's style of play, and often resorts to all-or-nothing. If it succeeds, he will be given the honor and the maximum salary status. If he loses, he will be scolded, questioned and belittled.
Unfortunately, the Nets, which were swept 0-4 in the first round of the playoffs, belong to the latter group. In the end, everyone broke up on bad terms. Adu applied for a trade with one click, and the entire Nets team was put on the market....
Think about it carefully. At that time, the belated combo guard Brother Beard could not hold the Brooklyn generals. How can Dragic, who is in the twilight of his career, make the Nets reach a higher level?
originally joined halfway, and left the team in a hurry before he could feel the influence of the team culture. Dragic and the Nets have no sympathy at all. After recalling the unpleasant experience, they will naturally complain a little, and What is said is also true.
Today's Nets are still on the road of "fighting for the championship". They want to use the chips obtained from the trade of Arvin and Adu to keep the team in the championship ranks. Unfortunately, all the offers are not in the eyes of the Nets. .
With the lessons learned from Dragic, Griffin, Ade and others, I believe many veterans are not willing to choose the Nets as their next team.Without the help of veterans and the lack of young players, the Nets are likely to draw their swords and look around at a loss next season...
