Luca Vildoza made the jump from Baskonia to New York although a knee injury kept him from success in the Big Apple. After recovering and playing with Argentina, he landed in the Milwaukee franchise, the Bucks. Now he is going to start the preseason with the Americans but it is not very clear that they want to count on him later.
The reliable social media profile @thechosen58 assured last night that “as I have learned, Baskonia is negotiating the return of Luca Vildoza and, except for surprise, his return is well advanced.” Questioned this morning the Team Manager of the club on the matter, has said that “We talk to him daily because of our personal relationship but now he has a contract with the Bucks.”
It is clear that a foreigner is missing in Vitoria and the chosen one could be the Argentine. Ponitka’s option was tested but the Pole ended up at Panathinaikos in Athens. “We constantly look and talk to agents and players because that is precisely our job”Fernandez justified. The truth is that the pieces could fit in this case. Something was already heard last year too.
The first option of the albiceleste base is to continue in the NBA. He charges about 1.8 million dollars and the Miwaukee have to guarantee it. From there, if he doesn’t play in the professional league, you can land in the Development League and continue waiting for an opportunity. There you also pay good amounts and you are in reserve to make the jump.
Vildoza is very close to Vitoria and Baskonia. His parents live in the Alava capital and Luca has a house on the outskirts of the city. If the other options do not fit, the Buesa club has already transferred their interest to him and the point guard would not look badly on playing the ACB League and the Euroleague again with Joan Peñarroya’s team. Another thing is the economic bet that he accepts or not.
