Bradley Wanamaker was one of the standouts of German champs Brose Baskets and that made him one of the most wanted free agents of the summer. Many teams are interested on his services, but Dogus Darussafaka is the frontrunner of the race to get him.
The Turkish club, which recently added coach David Blatt on its bench, is offering him a two year deal for a total quaranteed net salary 2,3 m. US dollars plus bonuses. It’s obvious that this offer is more than fair and probably the best that Wanamaker has received at this point.
Even if the summer just started, this kind of money can’t be matched by Brose Baskets and also Olympiacos, which is more than interested on his services, probably will not be willing to spend as much. Fenerbahce is also one of the teams which have Wanamaker on their short list. On the other hand, Blatt already contacted the player and spoke to him about his possible new role.
Even if there’s no deal yet, it seems that the two sides are already pretty close and the negotiations may come to a happy end between them really soon.
