Is Nachbar playing with the Rockets this upcoming season, or till next season? Because I heard that he still has one year contract with his other team in Italy. I need to know, anybody know?
The hope is that he'll play this year, but that's not etched in stone yet. He may stay in Europe another year if, in fact, he has a deal to be worked out with his European club.
He has a 1 million dollar buyout, Houston is allowed to pay $350,000 of the buyout, meaning Nachbar only have to pay $750,000 of it, which he should be able to do with #15 money. If he sits out a year, then the buyout is $350,000 next year. But it's pretty much looks like a lock he'll be able to pay the buyout.
RM is mostly right, but needs to do his homework for math class. $1 million minus $350,000 is $650,000 to come out of Nachbar's pocket.
