So much for the excuse about spurning the 76ers because he wanted to play in Europe.
Yahoo Sports reported Wednesday afternoon that Nemanja Bjelica plans to discuss a potential free-agent deal with the Sacramento Kings. This comes one day after the 6-foot-10 Serbian forward informed the Sixers that he wanted to remain in Europe this coming season.
Forward Nemanja Bjelica and the Kings plan to begin discussing potential deal, league sources tell Yahoo Sports. Bjelica represents a shooter on the wing/frontcourt, and a long-term fit makes sense.
Bjelica, who played for the Minnesota Timberwolves the past three seasons, had reached an agreement July 5 with the Sixers on a one-year, midlevel exception for $4.
