Andrew Bogut, definitely no King
LAST UPDATE 8:59am PT, Oct 6: "Andrew Bogut's agent David Bauman tells ESPN.com that deal w/Sydney Kings is "off" because of insurance obstacles, not on hold. Link on way". Twitter Marc Stein (ESPN).
"Agent David Bauman said Thursday that a deal to put Bogut on the court with the Sydney Kings is "off" because insuring the nearly $40 million remaining on the 7-footer's contract with the Milwaukee Bucks is not feasible (...) "He's very disappointed because he was hoping to help the profile of the NBL and bring in new fans," Bauman said after speaking to Bogut by phone. "But the risks for his outstanding money were too great.". ESPN article by Marc Stein.
Looks definitive. Huge blow for the Kings and, especially, for the Australian league. A bad ending for a good idea...
