Since he signed with Anadolu Efes two years ago, Dario Saric – whose contract included from the first moment no buy out last summer and an NBA option for this summer – was planning to make the jump to the NBA before the 2016-17 season.
And Sixers President of Basketball Operations Bryan Colangelo confirmed that the plan remains the same. “I think what Brett and I are planning to do is taking a trip over to Istanbul here shortly,” Colangelo said by phone on The Comcast Network. “We’re going to sit down with him, we’re going to sit down with perhaps members of his family, his agent. We’re going to talk about all the alternatives, and why we think it’s a good time for him to come over right now. I think this is a great opportunity for him. We think this is good timing for him.”
