Tomic MVP Week 1 Top 16 Euroleague

Do we even still have his rights

If we do we should either bring him over next season or trade the rights. This Tomic thing is getting out of hand.

I thought we traded his rights to Minnesota or Atlanta...

Wouldn't we have to over pay to get him here? Isn't this a dead issue?

I believe there's a limit on how much can be paid to a foreign team for a buyout. The remaining amount must be paid by the player. Raul Lopez basically pocketed nothing his first season. Tomic will never play in the NBA. But his rights may be traded to even out a deal at some point, just like Fehse.
