Simone Fontecchio: My desire was to stay in the NBA, possibly in Miami. The club's decisions were clear from the start, making a major move to acquire a Hall of Famer like Antetokounmpo. I saw an opportunity to play for a team with real championship ambitions.
It was an opportunity for me, for the organization, for the city, and for the team to try and achieve something bigger. I'm very excited and curious to meet him and see what it's like to play with him. The fact that they really wanted me even before free agency reassured me and made me even more inclined to stay.
