Some weeks ago Bjelica was acquired in a draft day deal between Minnesota and Washington that picked him at No.35 of the NBA Draft. Following the draft there was talk of a number of possible clubs having interest in Bjelica, including the Greek league finalist Olympiakos S.F.P. Pireus. Caja Laboral also thanks Benetton Treviso to have collaborated with the Basque club to make the transfer possible as they had inked the player from Red Star earlier in the summer.
