Dwight Buycks is expected to be cut by the Toronto Raptors, however he already knows where he will continue his career. Not only, as reported earlier, Maccabi Tel Aviv is interested on the player, but there are advanced negotiations between him and the Euroleague champions.
Buycks participated in the Las Vegas summer league, where he showed his capabilities as a scorer with 19.7 ppg and that has convinced Maccabi that he may be the right replacement for Euroleague’s Final Four MVP Tyrese Rice. It remains to be seen if Buycks can be as successful as his predecessor was in a miracle season.
