Panathinaikos is signing Guerschon Yabusele for the next three years, a contract worth $15 million which changes the balance of EuroLeague powers.
According to a Hoopshype report, which was confirmed by Eurohoops sources, Panathinaikos convinced the free agent forward to leave the NBA after two seasons.
The 30-year-old Frenchman, after the Paris Olympics, where he went viral thanks to his dunk to LeBron James, played for two seasons in the NBA, averaging 8.3 points per game, with the Philadelphia 76ers, New York Knicks and Chicago Bulls, of which he was a member this summer.
Per Hoopshype’s Michael Scotto who first broke the news of the deal, Yabusele will become one of the highest-paid athletes in Europe.

It has to be noted that Panathinaikos hasn’t confirmed the deal yet, while this arrival may also that Juancho Hernangomez is leaving with Real Madrid being a more than possible destination.
