    My Spanish isn't that good, but from a rough translation and according to fans on realgm.com forums it states that Ukic has an opt-out clause built into his contract with Tau Ceramica that will allow him to jump to NBA in 2007.

Toronto Raptors and NBA will have to wait for at least two more years. But in the Spanish press leaked a detail from Roko?s contract which states that he can leave Tau without reparation after the season 2006/2007. But it is only valid if he is to leave to NBA?s only Canadian franchise.</div>

    ^^ Well at least that is some relief for us. I guess after 2 years in Spain he can come here without any problems.

    Not only that, it even has a buyout clause of $1.5 million after 1-year built into it, with each consecutive year having less buyout amount.
