After spending the past two seasons in the NBA with the Atlanta Hawks, streaky-shooting big man Pero Antic will be entering restricted free agency.
However, according to Eurohoops.net, the 6-foot-11 power forward plans to leave the league and instead take his talents back to overseas.
Pero Antic is a restricted free agent, however he already decided to return to Europe. The former Euroleague champion with Olympiacos has a deal in place with Fenerbahce/ Ulker which is expected to be formalized in the next days.
The official announcement is the only thing missing. Antic after two seasons in the NBA returns to Europe and Fenerbahce needs many new faces in its front line, specially after losing its ancor, Nemanja Bjelica. However Antic is expected to be used mainly in the center position, replacing Luca Zoric.
At the age of 32, it would probably easier for Antic to make more money and be more financially stable in Europe.
