And we know the Pelicans GM was at a Micic game 2 weeks ago.

More on this storyline

I’m told that Vasilije Micić, after winning back-to-back MVP awards in the EuroLeague Final Four with Anadolu Efes, is eager to make the leap to the NBA next season. Yet that will almost certainly require a trade, with the 28-year-old’s NBA rights held by Oklahoma City and the Thunder presumed to prefer moving Micić elsewhere. -via marcstein.substack.com / June 18, 2022
With Denver having acquired the No. 30 pick, league sources expect the Nuggets will target a point guard such as Gonzaga ball-handler Andrew Nembhard. Denver has engaged various teams in trade conversations regarding Monte Morris, the sturdy reserve point guard who filled in as its starter with Jamal Murray sidelined for the season. Some rival executives were prepared for Morris to be replaced by Serbian point guard Vasilije Micic, whose rights are held by OKC, as part of the Green trade. Micic, 28, led Turkish club Anadolu Efes to the 2020-21 EuroLeague title while winning the EuroLeague MVP and has garnered trade interest from several playoff teams, such as Milwaukee and Chicago, sources said. -via Bleacher Report / June 15, 2022
