Vucevic has never hidden his affection for Crvena zvezda Meridianbet, publicly stating multiple times his desire to play for the club. It now appears this could be the ideal, perhaps even the last real, opportunity for that connection to materialize.
Vucevic will turn 36 at the start of next season, indicating he doesn't have many top-tier seasons left. This creates an ideal scenario for the Montenegrin center to fulfill his childhood dream, especially since he has always emphasized he wouldn't join a club unless he felt he could genuinely contribute.
According to Sportal's sources close to the club, Zvezda is more than keen to bring the Montenegrin center into their ranks, but the decision now largely rests with the player himself.
After 15 years in the NBA, it seems Nikola has made his mark in America. Should he choose to stay, despite likely interest from other teams, he would likely be looking at a veteran's contract, which Zvezda could potentially match.
It remains to be seen whether direct negotiations will commence between the Red Star and Vucevic, but the timing appears more than opportune for such a development.
Throughout his NBA career, Nikola Vucevic has averaged 17.1 points and 10.3 rebounds. Last season, he posted 15.1 points and 8.3 rebounds playing for both the Chicago Bulls and the Boston Celtics.
