I don't know what the timing is for him with his club, but it makes sense for Saric to see what happens at the Draft. If it makes sense to come now, come now. If it doesn't, wait another year and then come when he's not bound by the Rookie Scale anymore.
Derek had it somewhere posted (but between his tweets and his writings I'm not sure where), but iirc he has till July 27th or something. I didn't check so if thats a Sunday just wiggle it a day or two and I *think* I am remembering right.
I actually have the opposite angle. Given Saric sounds like he wants out of Europe and into the NBA badly, it makes sense for him to do it before the draft. Because it will encourage the team to make transaction(s) that will maximize his playing time.
And when Philly sells #26 for 2.6m in cash and 2 future 2nds, they can pretend that it paid for Saric's buyout because 650k of it did?
I just want to see the guy in the NBA. So whatever gets it done, I hope they can make it happen.
And I get where you are coming from on why it makes sense before the Draft. I guess we'll just have to wait and see!
