Guerschon Yabusele Has $2.5M NBA Buyout In Deal With Real Madrid

[RealGM Wiretap]

Guerschon Yabusele was one of the stars of the 2024 Paris Olympics. Yabusele played well enough for France that buzz has begun about him making a second run at the NBA.

Yabusele's deal with Real Madrid includes a $2.5 million NBA buyout. That amount reportedly jumped up from $1 million on July 15.

The French forward was drafted by the Boston Celtics with the 16th pick in the 2016 NBA Draft. He spent a season playing in China before coming to the NBA for the 2017-18 season. In 74 games over two seasons with the Celtics, Yabusele averaged 2.3 points in 6.6 minutes per game. Boston waived Yabusele ahead of the 2019-20 season.

The 6-foot-8 forward went on to play in China, then a season-plus in France before moving to Spain. Last season for Real Madrid, Yabusele averaged 9.7 points on 53/45/81 shooting splits across all competitions.

The Dancing Bear, lol.

Ainge has a pretty bad batting average in the draft, but he hit a couple home runs.

Miami, thanks again for declining that reported Justice Winslow draft trade.

Celtics fans need to thank their lucky stars that Jerry Colangelo overruled Sam Hinkie, otherwise Ainge would have traded the pick that became Jaylen Brown for Jahlil Okafor.

Sam Hinkie should've gotten the chance to let his plan play out.
