Nando De Colo’s priority is to stay in the NBA, the Toronto Raptors are thinking about re-signing their free agent, however there’s a nice back up plan for him if things don’t work out. He can return to Europe and some of the continent’s top clubs interested on him.
According to Eurohoops sources, Barcelona, Fenerbahce/ Ulker and also Anadolu Efes are among the teams which are willing to make a run to get him. After all, De Colo has some impressive seasons in Spain against Barcelona, his name was among the possible targets of Fenerbahce/ Ulker since last summer and coach Dusan Ivkovic believes that a player like De Colo, who was polished by his close friend Gregg Popovich in San Antonio, can be a part of his new Efes project.
It remains to be seen what kinds of offers De Colo will get from the NBA after being paid 1,5 m. dollars last season, because it seems that the European clubs interested on him are ready to pay him better.
