The Sacramento Kings have secured the services of Yogi Ferrell and Nemanja Bjelica. Curious: Both Free Agents had already confirmed with other teams.
Bjelica signed for three years and $20.5 million in Sacramento, Yahoo Sports reports. For the Serbs this means a turnaround: He had actually already assured the Philadelphia 76ers to play with them for a year. However, he withdrew from this deal on the grounds that he wanted to return to Europe.
But Vlade Divac, General Manager of the Kings, is said to have changed his countryman’s mind and convinced him of an NBA whereabouts. “I have spoken a lot to Vlade, who is an icon in our country. He has a unique view of things and knows how to get along as a player in the NBA,” Bjelica told Yahoo Sports.
In addition, according to Guard Yogi Ferrell, Yahoo Sports is said to have signed a contract in Sac-Town – for two years and 6.2 million dollars. Ferrell had already agreed with another team: he had already agreed with the Dallas Mavericks and wanted to stay there for two years and 5.3 million dollars. On Friday, however, his consultant explained that they wanted to look around for other deals after all.
