Nando De Colo ended a Euroleague season in which he dominated, he is going to be the most wanted free agent in Europe, but the return to the NBA is always in his mind and the door is open.
According to Eurohoops sources, the Denver Nuggets are monitoring him for a long time and they are to ready give him the contract and the minutes that he would like to have in order to return to the NBA. De Colo, however is a restricted free agent with his rights belonging to Toronto, so expect the Raptors and probably more NBA teams to enter the picture in his possible return to the States.
After all, De Colo proved that he is deserves once more chance in the NBA. Meanwhile CSKA Moscow is ready to make him the highest paid player in Europe in order to keep him. As the team president Andrey Vatutin told to Eurohoops the club will do what they must in order to persuade him to stay in Moscow. That translate probably to a contract with more than 3 million euros net salary per season.
So it’s nice to be wanted and being also the MVP of the Euroleague Final Four, MVP of the season and Euroleague champ.
