Nicolas Batum: 'I had talks with SLUC Nancy'

Il giocatore francese non vuole rimanere fermo

NBA

Nicolas Batum confirmed in an interview released at Ouest France and translated by Hoopshype that he has been in contact with SLUC Nancy where he could play few months next season during the NBA lockout.
Nicolas Batum: "I've always said I don't want to be without playing three or four months and that if I returned to France, it would be with a team that plays European competitions, notably the Euroleague. There's nothing official, but Nancy is an interesting club that has had great results and who's been often in the finals of the French League the last few years with Jean-Luc Monschau. It's a very good head coach, he has a good staff: there's talent in the club and it's true that we've had some contacts. People often talk to me about (returning to Le Mans) but I'm really interested in playing in Euroleague. People also often ask me why I don't play in another country in Europe. It's a good opportunity for me to come back to France and to get closer to my family: Portland is far and here, they could come to see me play. I think Nancy is a legitimate choice for me even if some people from Le Mans would have difficulties to understand it. I do understand them but... By playing in Euroleague, Nancy fits better what I want.
