Interview with Dragic in Slovenian media. Most of the interview is about the national team, this is what he said about NBA FA:

- he went to Chicago because of coach Donovan and GM Karnisovas. He is also friends with Vucevic. He was speaking with them already last season, but chose BKN in the end. 
- he will be second PG in Chicago, playing 20-25 mpg
- he didn't choose Dallas, because they couldn't assure him he will play. They said he would be more on the bench

So he wanted more than the veteran deep backup role we thought he wanted. We could have offered him the 20-25 min backup role SD had last year. Only reason they didn’t HAS to be because they have/had at the time something else they thought was better. I mean, right? What’s that saying about birds and bushes? They better be real solid on the move they think they have.
