Signed! 18 million euros in 3 years! Thanks to the Bucks for buying out, he was able to get the highest salary in Europe

On July 16, according to European media EuroLeague and BasketNews, the 31-year-old Serbian defender Vasirier Misic will settle next season. He decided to leave the NBA and return to Europe to join Tel Aviv Hapur, Israel. In this way, this announces that Vasilyiemisic has officially ended his three-year NBA career and opened a new chapter in his career!

According to Israeli journalist Nadav Zenziper, Vasilyeymisic and Tel Aviv Hapur signed a three-year maximum salary contract worth 18 million euros. At this point, Vasilyiemisic has become one of the highest paid players in the history of the Champions League basketball league.

It is reported that before reaching a signing with Tel Aviv Hapur, Misic also received invitation contracts for several top European clubs including Real Madrid, Fenerbahce and Anatolia Effis, but he eventually chose to join the Israeli League Tel Aviv Hapur Club.

According to Spanish journalist Chema de Lucas, Vasilyiemisic decided to join Tel Aviv Hapur purely for money, because the Israeli club has been bidding simply and roughly. To be honest, it is not a reason for Misic to reject invitations from other European giants. Who asked Tel Aviv Hapur to give him the highest-paid contract in the European League? Anyone who wants to choose to join the team that gives the most money without hesitation!

Of course, Misic can get the highest salary contract in Europe now, thanks to the Milwaukee Bucks for reaching a contract buyout with him before, otherwise he would not have the opportunity to resume his freedom and return to the European League to sign the current three-year, 18 million euro maximum salary contract. It is reported that in this offseason, Vasilyiemisic was first traded by the Phoenix Suns to the Charlotte Hornets, and then he was sent to the Milwaukee Bucks by the Charlotte Hornets. Subsequently, Vasilyiemisic reached a contract buyout with the Milwaukee Bucks, and in the process he voluntarily gave up his salary of 6.1 million in the remaining 8.1 million contract. In the 2024-25 season, Vasilyiemisic played a total of 41 regular season games for the Phoenix Suns and the Charlotte Hornets, averaging 19 minutes per game, scoring 6.6 points, 3.1 assists, 2.2 rebounds and 0.4 steals, shooting percentage of 34.8%, three-point shooting percentage of 36%, and three-point shooting percentage of 82.9%. In his three-year NBA career, he played a total of 101 regular season games, averaged 19.4 minutes per game, scored 6.8 points, 1.8 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 0.5 steals, and 0.1 blocks. He shot 39.5% from the field, 31.5% from three-point shooting percentage and 81.9% from free throws.

I have to admit that Vasilyiemisic is definitely a super lucky person, because he not only easily reached a buyout contract and was able to resume his freedom and return to the European League, but also received the highest salary in Europe. Looking back at Valanciunas, who is like him, who especially wants to return to the European League next season, he is not so lucky! Even though Valanciunas is unwilling to return to the NBA to play, he has to represent the Nuggets next season because the Nuggets refuse to buy out the contract with him.

Congratulations to Vasiliymisic on winning a 3-year maximum salary contract of 18 million euros! May you be able to kill all sides in the new league and everything goes well! Come on, Vasilyemisic!
