Ljubljana – Slovenian NBA star Goran Dragić will not be joining the Dallas Mavericks as has been rumoured but will instead sign a one-year contract with the Chicago Bulls.

New York – Goran Dragić, widely regarded as one of Slovenia’s best basketball players ever, has signed a new contract until the end of this season and will move to the Brooklyn Nets, said the BDA Sports International management agency. At the age of 35, this will be Dragić’s fifth team in the NBA.

NBA teams are again allowed to trade and sign new players, and that always attracts a lot of attention.

However, it took only a few games, to realize that Gordon's arrival was a complete success.

Ljubljana/Miami – Goran Dragić, one of the only two Slovenian players in the National Basketball Association (NBA), has announced that he is staying with the Miami Heat, reportedly for another two years. “I’m glad that I can announce that I’m staying with my Miami Heat. Let’s finish the job we started!” he said on Twitter.

The Real Madrid star was picked behind only DeAndre Ayton (Phoenix Suns) and Marvin Bagley III (Sacramento Kings).

He is going to Dallas, which selected Trae Young with their number five pick but had agreed on a trade with Atlanta.

Serbian-born basketball coach Igor Kokoskov has been hired to lead the US team Phoenix Suns, becoming the first head coach in National Basketball Association history born outside North America.

"I have been preparing for this for 18 years and I'm not afraid of any challenge," Kokoskov, 46, told the Serbian daily Vecernje novosti on Friday.

Georgios Papagiannis will stay with the Portland Trail Blazers after signing a contract that takes him through the 2018-19 season, the team announced Sunday.

Papagiannis joined the Blazers on a 10-day deal on March 8.

Drafted 13th overall by the Phoenix Suns in 2016, Papagiannis was then sent to the Sacramento Kings in a trade.
