Key reserve Goran Dragic leaves Nets in free agency to join Bulls

Key reserve guard Goran Dragic will leave the Brooklyn Nets to join the Chicago Bulls in free agency.

The Brooklyn Nets are certainly in disarray at the moment as they are dealing with the drama surrounding their star duo of Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving and they are now losing some other key pieces of the team.

Andre Drummond, who was acquired from the Philadelphia 76ers in the James Harden deal, left the team in free agency to join the Chicago Bulls. Now, a key reserve guard is also joining the Bulls.

Goran Dragic, who was picked up mid-season, will also join Chicago on a 1-year $2.9 million deal. He played in 16 games for Brooklyn, with six starts, and he averaged 7.3 points and 4.8 assists. In the playoffs, he averaged 10.5 points and 4.5 rebounds.

The Nets will have to continue to decide how they are going to handle things on the player front moving forward as they look to try and keep Durant in tow. Losing Dragic hurts the bench unit, but his production can be made up for in other ways.
