KC Johnson @KCJHoop
Can confirm Goran Dragic has agreed to a one-year deal with the Chicago Bulls, per source, which @Shams Charania had 1st.
Nikola Vucevic, I’m told, played significant role in this situation. – 3:19 PM

Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
Goran Dragic to the Bulls is good cover in case Lonzo Ball isn’t ready, but they’ve got a lot of points guards now:
Ball
Dragic
Alex Caruso
Ayo Dosunmu
Coby White
Even with Caruso playing mostly off-ball, gotta imagine White is in play to get traded at some point. – 3:17 PM

Aaron Rose @AaronBenRose
Want Goran Dragic news or nah? – 3:17 PM

More on this storyline

 

Marc Stein: Mavericks roster note: Dallas essentially has one spot left and has weighed leaving it open, league sources say. While Dallas has shown interest in Goran Dragic, it still has a clear need for wing additions and could wait to see if an unexpected option to address that surfaces. -via Twitter @TheSteinLine / July 2, 2022

Marc Stein: As covered in two previous pieces, Dallas is not expected to immediately pursue guards after losing Jalen Brunson. With Spencer Dinwiddie in place and Tim Hardaway Jr. due back from injury, Goran Dragic IS a strong eventual target after the Mavs chase wing and front-line depth. -via Twitter @TheSteinLine / June 30, 2022

Sources close to the process say Brunson’s exit would also increase the likelihood that Dallas tries to sign Goran Dragic, Doncic’s Slovenian teammate, in free agency. -via marcstein.substack.com / June 29, 2022
