<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'> Maccabi Tel Aviv Has Interest in Krstic July 9, 2008, 6:37 pm Nenad Krstic admitted that returning to Europe next season is a possibility. And now, Maccabi Tel Aviv, one of the best teams in Europe, is saying that Krstic is a candidate to fill a vacancy on their frontline. Rod Thorn said last week that he thought Krstic was more likely to stay in New Jersey than go elsewhere. Will Nets and Serbian national team center Nenad Krstic join Maccabi Tel Aviv? - - One</div> I think the way in which the NBA fans interpret this move (if it happens) could be interesting. If he goes to Europe, does that mean that he couldn't make it in the league and that he's a bust? Would he be remembered as a guy who rebounded by taking advantage of the improving international market, or a guy who got injured and be another Jay Williams?
Quick question for anyone that knows. I don't think he will but lets say he does go back to Europe, will the Nets keep his rights?>
nope if he plays 1 year in isreal then he's a free agent the next year. No restricted status. They can prob pay him more than nba MLE if u consider it's net instead of gross. But then again... you're in isreal.
Basketball in Europe is getting more and more popular for NBA players lately, especially for the international players it seems. I believe I remember hearing Navarro of Memphis signed with a team in Barcelona. I hope Kristic stays, I'm kind of hoping the Wolves go after him...
A sign-and-trade is my first preference for Krstic's future contract situation, but Maccabi Tel Aviv is definitely my second. If he signs, I might get a jersey!

Funny OT thing I shouldn't admit, my mom dated (after her and my father divorced) Aulcie Perry who was a huge star for Tel Aviv then. And by then, I was 7 years old and in Israel . I didn't even know she was dating him...jeez. Anyway, he would get huge money.
Wonder if his girlfriend graduated from Montclair St. yet? Who knows where THEY want to live. If I were him and I saw the $72mm extension Bogut just got for averaging 14/9 I would seriously consider taking the QO and showing the NBA what I could do when healthy. Can always sign with a Euroleague team after next season if the offers don't come. If he wants a little more financial security I bet he could get the Nets to give him between $3 and $4mm this year with a team option for next season (with a small guarantee).

No restricted status.</div> That is not correct. Just like with Sideshow Bob last year, an NBA team does not lose the restriction if a player signs with another league. Krstic could go overseas for 5 years and the moment he comes back to the NBA, he is a restricted FA.
Something tells me that if he goes overseas for five years, he might not want to come back afterward.
