Ergin Ataman: 'Furkan Aldemir is still a player of Galatasaray'

Ergin Ataman is very angry with Furkan Aldemir and won't accept his departure from the Galatasaray. Ataman said that Aldemir is still on the roster of the Turkish team and the Philadelphia 76ers tried to steal him from them.

"We have talked to Aldemir. İf management pays his salaries before Monday, he will stay with us until the end of the season. Aldemir did not attend our trainings. We will punish him. He is still our player. If Philadelphia wants Aldemir, they must contact us. Philadelphia tried to steal Aldemir from us with the help of managers"

Ataman has heavy words also for Euroleague and FIBA: "If FIBA and Euroleague were serious foundations, they wouldn't have let Aldemir join 76ers."
