The whole operation will be possible this summer, thanks to the club's resignation from the option for the last year of the player's current contract.

Last season, he scored averages of 18.5 points, 10.7 rebounds and 6.7 assists per game. It is considered the best-serving high league player. In February this year he made a great feat including the fastest triple double in the history of the NBA - in a match against Bucks he did it in just 14 minutes and 33 seconds !!!
