Dear Pek,
So it’s official:

This was not a surprise. The release was going to happen at some point.
(Today happened to be the day)
Here are some of the fan’s reactions on Twitter:
favorite Pek story: he had his foot in a tub of ice, & was on his cell phone, talking loud as hell in Serbian, except for the phrase 1/2

I truly enjoyed watching Pek play. Unfortunate that injuries through off his career. #Wolves

The media reacted as well:
Wolves announced they've waived Nikola Pekovic. It's finally come to its conclusion

One more Pek memory: Hanging post-shoot in Mexico City, I hear a soft, sweet voice singing "I Believe I Can Fly." I look & it's Pek

There was a minute there where Nikola Pekovic was gooooood. https://t.co/BCudPsK3Lr

So long Pek. Ricky's rookie year and the rise of Pek and that band of misfits was the most fun Wolves mini-era since Steph/KG and the WCF.

Do you feel the positive vibes, Nikola Pekovic…? …We love you Pek!
We love you and your highlights, like this one:

Oh the memories….
Who knows what your future plans are. Who knows if you’ll really do this:

If you could make a comeback, and I hope that’s the case, I will be watching you from a distance.
I will be rooting for you, Pek (unless you’re playing against the Timberwolves).
