Mirza Teletovic: Nets wanted me back but I wanted the Suns

In a press conference Thursday morning in Bosnia, Mirza Teletovic said he chose the Suns over both the Nets and the Kings because he wanted Phoenix, not because Brooklyn didn't want him.

Igor Marinovic, who writes for NetsDaily on Balkans basketball, tweeted out news from the press conference where he said he will not be playing at FIBA Euope, in part because of Suns concerns for his health.

Teletovic about @suns: Brooklyn wanted me to stay, Kings offered me 2-year deal, but I choose Phoenix because they suit my game best

Teletovic: I always loved Phoenix Suns, I loved Charles Barkley back then.
