Nenad Kristic signs with a Russian Team


Nenad Kristic has reportedly signed with a Russian team, Triumph. He will be leaving the NBA along with other players departing for international play.

He spent his past few seasons with the New Jersey Nets. He was able to make his presence felt until he injured his ACL. Because of a mediocre comeback, teams have lost interest in the once all-star caliber power forward.

On the way to the peak of his game, Nenad was averaging around 16 points and almost 7 rebounds. His averages dropped to 6.6 point and 4.4 rebounds per game in his return. Nenad Kristic has a solid low post game and great on the boards.

Nenad Kritic will be receiving $9 million for the upcoming season. His contract is assured for 2 years. The Nets were also interested in Kristic but they only had a $5 million contract per season for two years in mind where there would be a 3rd year option.

This opportunity for Kristic is a chance he should not pass off. He will be making a lot more money than he could have if he stayed. Although playing in the NBA would be every players dream, it would also be a good experience for any player to join an international club and be exposed to a different style of play.
