The whole truth about Gaby Deck’s return to Real Madrid

The Real Madrid receive your christmas gift in the form of return of one of the big stars of last season, a Gaby deck that ends (for the moment) his adventure in the NBA due to lack of offers. The Madrid team, who did not come out too well in recent months with the player’s environment, has not hesitated to recruit him by making good the right of first refusal and the memory of the great months of basketball that Tortuga provided in the capital. The agreement is outstanding in sports and economics.

The arrival of Deck to the Real Madrid it is a fact that only lacks formalization. The Argentine forward has been recovered by the white team without weighing too much his escape last April, in which he put an adventure before NBA to end the season in the key section with the whites. Overcoming the quarrels with the player showing his desire to return, the operation has experienced a media acceleration in recent hours, but was closed for weeks waiting only for the termination of the agreement with Oklahoma city thunder.

The Madrid it was clear that Deck, if he returned to Europe, had to do it to the entity and for that reason they used the right of first refusal that so many problems and rumors have caused for the Argentine forward to add his talent to the roster led by Pablo Laso, a coach who has known how to get the most out of basketball at Tortu like a charm. For this reason, the talks began with 2021 still far from the end and the positions soon reached an agreement that had to be awaited to put a signature … and publicity.

The score brings you home

The mode of payment of the termination clause of Deck in his march to the NBA – in two non-simultaneous payments – caused the Real Madrid could exercise its option to include you in the right of first refusal. The whites already included the Argentine international in the summer, when the first rumors about his departure from Oklahoma began to sound and now, just released 2022 and when the Thunder they had to guarantee the contract Gaby for the remainder of the season, the expected cut and its consequent signing took place.

The roadmap drawn by the Real Madrid has met the established deadlines and Deck He will join the first team dynamics next week. The player has been active for the Thunder until the last moment, so his form is optimal and he will only have to review the systems of Laso with the novelties explained from the turn of the game towards the interior, that is, towards Tavares, Poirier and Yabusele.

Deck, a ‘bargain’

Economically, the operation closed by the Real Madrid it is also of the highest level. Not only do they get hold of a player who is among the best in his position in Europe, they do so at virtually zero cost. Deck He will have an important salary, notably higher than the one he received in his first stage as a Madrid player, but this is compensated by the termination clause paid by the Argentine just a few months ago, precisely, for a few months of absence in the first team.

What’s more, Deck will re-sign a contract with an exit clause NBA to avoid future leaks. The agreement, for the remainder of the season and two more, will keep its back to the Real Madrid although the player seems convinced to remain as a stiletto in a great team of Euroleague before returning to a North American championship in which his qualities are not highly valued in a forward and, due to his size, he has it very difficult to exercise indoors.
