Lol at the fans calling him Sam Stinkie.

I don't think Dario even wants to play in the NBA right now. His dad brainwashed him.

"Won't play for the 76ers next season" = probably not coming over until 2017?

No one expected Dario to play next season. And when sixers drafted him they were aware he could be over there for 3 years. They knew the risk just like they did with embiid and his foot. He's a valuable asset regardless so who knows if he is packaged in a deal to land another lottery pick.

There will be a big incentive for him to stay in Turkey for a third year and wait until the 2017-18 season to play in the NBA.

Under the terms of the league's collective bargaining agreement, Saric will no longer be bound by the rookie salary scale if he waits three years to come to the NBA. That means he could negotiate a free-agent contract for a much higher salary with the Sixers, much like Nikola Mirotic did with the Chicago Bulls last summer.

With the new TV revenues set to kick in during that season, Saric could be in for a massive raise if he is patient.

I don't think this is news. I thought it was well known that he was going to take at least 2 years.

There were rumblings that he could come over next year. Even Philly fans on here brought it up. This basically guarantees he doesn't come over till '17

Pretty sure that he never had a real shot to come over in time for this upcoming season. A 76ers official apparently told a reporter that they want him here now and the reporter then tweeted that they are working to bring him over. He doesn't even have a buyout clause until next season. Speculating here, but that sliver of hope of Saric jumping this summer may have buoyed the bad news about Embiid somewhat.

He stands to make significantly more during his first NBA contract if he stays overseas for the duration of his current deal. He makes more now than he would according to the NBA rookie pay scale (something like 2.5M euros annually).

Only benefit to him starting here sooner is he can get a max deal faster. If he waits until 2017, assuming no lockout and his contract pays him same % of cap that Mirotic got, he'll make like $9M/year.

Hinkie has said all along that it would be "at least two maybe three years" until he came over. He said that at a press conference. They wanted him to come here this year and tried to work out a buyout but it didn't work out. They knew this when they drafted him.

There's a better chance that Hinkie will be gone before Saric is ready to step up to the next level.

First Embiid, then Saric....really hoping they take Mudiay or Porzingis to complete the cycle.
