I was surprised he didn't go to the Mavs, because he made that clear that is where he wanted to go last year -- was seeking a trade or buyout.  But there was nothing on the trade front that made any sense - Mavs wanted to move us players with contracts that extended beyond the end of the 2022 season.

When Goran was traded to Toronto last summer, he talked to a Slovenian newspaper and said "I have higher ambitions than playing in Toronto".   Of course that quickly got back to Toronto and put him on bad footing with the fanbase immediately

He then left the team about 20 games into the season to hang out in Miami and practice again until we bought him out.  To be fair to Goran, the Raptors weren't really playing him either because he was burnt defensively.  He was a professional while has on the bench and in training camp until he left - I have to give him that.

Later in the year, the night the Raptors were eliminated in the playoffs, he posted a tweet with several laugh emoji's in reference to our loss.    (I suspect he was irritated by many fans who posted things mocking him after he went to Brooklyn and got swept)

All that being said, if you ignore Goran's defence, Goran is probably a valid #8-#11 type guy on an NBA roster at this point and he still has some offensive game.   Not a bad pickup
