Tomic to the Jazz

[BabyPeterzz]

Locke said on 1280 that Q is really high on Tomic and that he is more than likely coming over next season. Sweet. I never thought I'd see the day....

This is all the proof you need. Marca is the #1 Sports newspaper in Spain. Title literally translated as 'Tomic wants to play in the NBA and the Jazz will pay his clause'.

So, his season is done in Europe, why not bring him over now? Is that possible?

He was talking about Tomic as the backup C, and as a decent passer, decent offensively, but not great defensively.
That's fine for a backup, and it would be nice to have a 7 footer as a backup C.
A buyout of a contract like this does not affect the salary cap, correct? It is just a hit to the owners wallets?
Either way I'm encouraged that they are willing to finally pull the trigger on something like this enough for rumors to get out.

I bet Tomic saw what's brewing here and well... he wants part of it of course

He would be a great backup for Rudy. Hopefully he could teach him a few moves on offense too.

I think they only have a certain amount that we can pay... However if his season is over we still have some cap space this year. We could bring him over and pay him a chunk this year just to get acclimated and maybe he'd take a little less next couple years in a contract to help us still have cap space.
