Serbian backcourt star Vasilije Micic was a guest on the podcast "X and O 's Chat Podcast", on which he also talked about the entire transfer storm about him this summer.

Misic said: This is the most important basketball-related decision in my life. I want to find a home for myself, and I long to seek inner peace. I've been through many trades in the NBA and the experiences made me feel very unpleasant, and I want that kind of security. Many clubs are in doubt, but I just want to calm down and wait. In my heart, I didn't expect to continue to get on in the NBA anymore, but the Charlotte Hornets' deal allowed me to be happy for about 15 days. At this time, many European teams began to urge me and kept setting a deadline for me.

Misic also revealed six teams interested in him and denied rumors of having exchanges with Greek giants Panasinaikos this summer. Misic said: Regarding the European team, I have indeed not had any negotiations with Panasinaikos. I have a good relationship with coach Ergin Ataman. We have worked together for a long time before, but their plans for the future are a little different from mine. In addition, some teams cannot meet my requirements in terms of money. There are four teams that are: Real Madrid, Hapoel Tel Aviv, Fenerbahçe and Olympiacos. Crvena Zvezda, Belgrade, was also followed closely.

Misic also revealed that Belgrade Red Star and Anatolia Efes were the two teams that first heard him talk about his requirements. Misic continued: I have to clarify that I first talked to my Red Star of Belgrade and Anatolia Effis, and I feel it is a responsibility to let them hear from me. I personally have a desire to return to the team, but considering that I was fighting for a very important contract in my career at the time, I had to change my mind. Red Star Belgrade is fully respected, just like my second home, so is Effith.

Misic was born in January 1994. He is 31 years old, 191cm tall and weighs 88kg.
