EuroLeague G Vasilije Micić – one of Europe’s best and most accomplished players – has agreed on a 3-year, $23.5M deal to join the Thunder, Jason Ranne of @Wassbasketball tells ESPN. A two-time EuroLeague champion and an MVP, Micic brings a significant skillset and IQ to OKC.

You pronounce his surname as more common surname Mićić (he is Micić). His surname is pronounced "Mizzić" (zz from pizza.)
Same as for Clippers' Zubac pronaunced like "Zubazz."
That's a great news! I was excited couple years ago when OKC aquired rights to this player from Phily and pointed out that many people recognized him as just a garbage pick to fill in a deal for Horford and Theo. I was thinking that he is a dark horse of that trade. It came up that there were huge problems convincing Vasi to play as they said he wants to be a starter. Thudner was patient and now it pays off after almost 3 years! I really think he will be great in the NBA. Even if he doesn't get stats like were mentioned in the video, his value will come in many different areas. Especially his experience in tough tournaments and basketball wisdom. This is really huge for all these young players in OKC! The only problem I see is with playing time for everybody and young players need it the most. The roster is also now bigger than it should so I expect some changes. They also acquired Oladipo. I'm not sure if they can trade him right away or at least before the season starts? Looks like we have to wait for Presti's next move.
Stoked after all these highlights I’ve seen of him! Idk how big he is but if we could fit him in the starting lineup the ball movement from our starting 5 would be INSANE
I think he's gonna be solid for OKC. OKC is looking pretty good going into next season.

The Thunder is probably gonna buyout Vic and then move on from Jeremiah Robinson-Earl.
Little help. The middle letter of his surname is pronounced as TZ – NoviTZki. The last letter is like other Serbian surnames, Jokić, Dončić, Maravich, Petrović, Stojaković.
