What's new

Jody Genessey - no Ante Tomic

Main points for those of you who might be interested in the original source:

- Barcelona and Tomic agreed in principle on a new contract (3 years) last week. It's not signed yet, they are still working on some details, including the length of the contract. Barring surprises, it's a done deal.
-He changed his mind recently. Just some weeks ago he said when asked about coming to Utah: "at my age, this is my last train to the NBA". Both Utah and him had mutual interest. Moreover, he hired a new agent (Wasserman y Alexander Raskovic) to negotiate his contract with Utah and they reached an agreement. He backed off and rehired his old agent.
-He will be paid between 2.5-3 million euros annually or 1.5-2 million after taxes.
-The keys for his decision were his role on Barcelona (the star of the team), his relationship with his coach and quality of living in Barcelona.

I said a few times in the Tomic threads that I feared he was just posturing for a long-term deal with Barcelona. Time to bring over Pleiss and maybe consider a big with that draft pick.

Hey there is always a chance he gets a buyout in his contract after year one and we can continue to speculate on him coming over.
 
Damn... that sucks. Oh well... I guess Turner/Kaminsky becomes even more of a possibility now. I wish Poeltl had declared...
