Agent for Papanikolaou: Nuggets decision was unexpected. Barça has his rights in Europe
Kostas Papanikolaou was cut by the Nuggets
Agent for Kostas Papanikolaou, George Sfairopoulos, spoke with Sport FM about the decision of the Nuggets to cut the Greek forward.
Sfairopoulos said that they were expecting the Nuggets to pick the option on Papanikolaou.
Via Eurohoops: “Papanikolaou had many talks with people of the team, both from the front office and the coaching stuff, and also I have spoken with assistant general manager Arturas Karnisovas. We have been told that the team will pick up his option for the rest of the season. However, that’s life and we are ready to respond to every situation”.
Barcelona has his rights for Europe and the first word. If Kostas gets an offer from an other team, Barcelona can match it and sign him. At this point Kostas wants to get minutes on the court. That’s his number one priority”.
