The Nets two rookies are now free of their European contract commitments, their buyouts with Cedevita of Croatia and F.C. Barcelona of Spain finally resolved. Musa, the Nets 29th pick, and Kurucs, the 40th pick, can now move forward with their NBA careers.
The Nets made it official with Musa, signing him to a four-year rookie scale contract starting at $1.63 million this season. Although, there’s been no official announcement on Kurucs, Sportando, the European hoops site, reported Thursday morning that the Nets and Kurucs had agreed to an only slightly less lucrative four-year deal. Barcelona will be paid $750,000 to settle his contract issues, according to Sportando.
