Big deal to bring Nigel Hayes-Davies back across the Atlantic?
The second time was not good for Nigel Hayes-Davies. After an anecdotal first stint in the NBA, the 31-year-old strong winger has established himself as one of the best players in Europe in recent years.
Training partner of the USA team in preparation for the Olympic Games in Paris, then the winner of the Euroleague, while he was the MVP of the Final Four, with Fenerbahçe in the process, the former Wisconsin player found a place in the Big League, on the side of the Sun. It’s just that he didn’t manage to impose himself there.
Traded to the Bucks at the trade deadline, he was immediately cut and hit the market.
There is excitement in Europe to bring it back as we approach the Euroleague registration deadline, with Fenerbahçe and theHapoel Tel Aviv who took out his checkbook to hope to get it back.
The Panathinaikos was also interested in his services, but Dimitris Giannakopoulos, the owner of the club, announced that “NHD” rejected his offer. And now Hapoel Tel Aviv would have an advantage, thanks to the presence of the coach Dimitris Itudiswhich brought Nigel Hayes-Davies to Fenerbahçe in 2022. But also a huge contract since it is 10 million dollars (net of taxes) for two and a half years!
