Vasilije Micic is leaning towards joining the NBA next season. The catch is that Micic would prefer to play for someone other than Oklahoma City Thunder.
The Thunder acquired Micic's draft rights from the Philadelphia 76ers in a deal ahead of the 2020-21 season. Oklahoma City will continue to hold Micic's rights for as long they tender him the minimum required contract. That tender only needs to be a one-year, fully non-guaranteed deal.
Because of the number of guards on the Thunder roster, Micic would prefer to go to a team where he could play a role. Because of that, his agent is working with Oklahoma City to find a team to trade for Micic's draft rights.
