David Nwaba turned down multi-year offer from Indiana Pacers for 'perfect fit' with Cavaliers, chance to bet on himself

INDEPENDENCE, Ohio -- David Nwaba admits this was a stressful summer.

After initially believing he had finally found his home in Chicago, he thinks things worked out even better, landing in a place that's a "perfect fit" for him.

"Thought I was going to stay there for years to come," Nwaba said when asked about his feelings toward the Bulls. "But it's a business. It all worked out, ended up still living the dream of playing in the NBA. Think this is a good opportunity here and just moved past it."

In late June, the Bulls extended a qualifying offer to the defensive-minded wing, making him a restricted free agent.
