That's what keeping multiple options on the table is all about. While there was talk of a possible return to the NBA, Mario Hezonja himself released the information: he extended his contract to Real Madrid.
“ Real Madrid believed in me when many didn't, took care of me and my family from the moment I arrived and made us feel at home. My only intention was to stay, so I am happy to inform you that I will continue my journey at HOME, MY REAL MADRID for a long time! “, does it burst into flames.
But the Croatian perhaps does not say everything about the extension of this union between the two parties. According to Shams Charania, the 29-year-old has an NBA exit clause in his new contract. He could thus leave the Madrid club until July 19 at the latest.
However, according to the insider, the 5th choice of the 2015 Draft still arouses the interest of several Great League franchises. The whole issue is knowing whether these are likely to manifest themselves before the fateful date.
And to have the arguments, including financial ones, to convince the former Magic, Knicks and Blazers player to try the adventure again across the Atlantic. Because the latter, who averaged 13.5 points in the EuroLeague, seems to like it a lot in Spain.
