Gordan Giricek of the Phoenix Suns signed with Turkey’s top team, Fenerbahce.

“We looked around the NBA,” his agent Marc Fleisher said. “Everybody was moving very slowly. And there were great opportunities for him to play overseas for a lot of money. Fenerbahce are Turkish champions and a EuroLeague team. It was a tough decision, and it came down to Fenerbache and Triumph, in Russia.”

“Gordan had an offer from the San Antonio Spurs,” Fleisher added, “but it was for much less.”
