The renewal of Edy Tavares for Real Madrid It is being one of the great challenges for the white club this season. Progressing at a good pace at a sporting level, the work is accumulating in the offices of the Madrid team, with half a squad with its future to be defined.
Together with the Cape Verdean center, their contract ends this coming summer Mario Hezonja, Vincent Poirier, Fabien Causeur, Sergio Llull, Sergio Rodríguez and Rudy Fernández, and the club’s economic policy is clear, not exceeding one and a half million euros net per campaign, and resources, limited.
Tavares, one of the most dominant players on the continent on both sides of the court, has been one of the greats ‘guilty’ of Real Madrid’s successes in recent years, and, with just turned 32 years old, he aspires to sign one of his last big contracts, according to the performance shown on the court.
Panathinaikos, the great alternative in the Euroleague
Euroleague teams like Panathinaikos They have already made it clear that they could increase the figures of Real Madrid’s proposal. The fit of the Cape Verdean in the Athenian team, combining the position of ‘5’ with Mathias Lessort It could allow Ergin Ataman to have a fearsome inner partner.
His past in the NBA
But Tavares does not close doors, and explores a possible return to the NBA, league in which he competed between 2015 y 2017, in Atlanta Hawks, Cleveland Cavaliers and several participations in teams of the G-League. In the American league they do not escape the potential of a Tavares who could be very important with his two meters and 20 centimeters and much more mature than in his first stage, Although it is true that his lack of shooting threat, and the three-second defensive rule, which does not exist in FIBA basketball, could work against him.
The intentions to return to America
The ‘Basketnews’ portal has shed some luz to Tavares’ willingness to return to the NBA and the conditions that should be met to cross the Atlantic again. At first, the player would look for a ‘mid-level exception’ in which He would receive about 12.5 million dollars per season. Of course, not at any competitive price, since Tavares would look for a competitive team in which he can play an important role, something that did not happen last year after the interest in his arrival on the part of the Portland Trail Blazers, and that it was not easy with a contract in force.
No rush from free agency
Those figures are practically unassailable in Euroleague, and it remains to be seen if Tavares gets that offer that can ‘flood’ with millions. What is certain is that the Cape Verdean will not be in any hurry, since his free agency, in choosing the best option, waiting for Real Madrid to come closer to his aspirations, or for his time as a white player to come to an end at the end of this campaign.
