Two words: Relationships matter.
The Brooklyn Nets parlayed coach Steve Nash’s longtime friendship with Goran Dragic into signing the veteran point guard Monday, per Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium.
No terms of the deal were made available, but Dragic will likely make the veteran’s minimum for the remainder of the season. He reached a buyout with the Spurs last week after being traded to San Antonio at the deadline.
The 35-year-old played only five games for the Raptors prior to the trade, spending most of the season away from the team for personal reasons. Dragic will join a guard rotation that already includes Kyrie Irving, Patty Mills and Seth Curry, along with a multipositional Ben Simmons.
