In the coming days will end [the Estudiantes stage for] Lucas Nogueira. The player, except [for a] last minute surprise that [is] no longer expected, [will] pay its clause and sign with the Toronto Raptors, the team that has rights to the NBA.

 

A couple of days ago the Canadian franchise informed the collegiate club this decision and would be paid the money to buy their freedom. Since earlier this month [the Raptors] began to insinuate this possibility, as we have here, until this week there has been much uncertainty. So much that even Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid and Valencia Basket called [Estudiantes] to inquire about her situation.

 

The [NBA exit clause for] Nogueira is 600,000 euros [approx. $800,000 U.S.] as set 13 months ago, when the pivot is pointed to the 2016 draft and was selected by the Atlanta Hawks, a few weeks ago transferred their rights to the Raptors. As franchises can only add about $550,000 to buy players under contract in Europe according to NBA rules, the rest [will be paid by] the Brazilian [bebe]. Not expected to have many problems since [he] signed a contract for several million dollars.

 

 

The Estudiantes club will use the buyout money to help pay its debts, if I'm reading the story right.

So we will get to see what Bebe can do this year. If he pans out and is running the floor like he can and blocking shots all over Im going to cry.

Edy: "Who's Bebe?"

 

 

 

Hawks' fans will forget all about Bebe once Tavares develops.

Bebe will be pretty damn good in Toronto and the doubters will feast on crow.

I'm excited for him to get a chance.   I'm a doubter but also a crow lover so either way i win.   Actually I hope he's great even if that will hurt a bit.   My doubt is based on the fact that the only shot he can make is a dunk and that speed down the court will look a lot slower in the nba.   Still pulling for him though.
