Could be wrong, but I think he means that he's glad a decision was made and now we can stop speculating about him coming over.
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'm told spouse of Ante Tomic vetoed leaving Espana. "A happy wife is a happy life," source said.
RIP Tomic threads.
Who is the next Euro-trash star Dalamon going to fawn over?
