Zvezda could not refuse this offer - Jonah Bolden signs with Maccabi

It is official.

The 2016/17 ABA League Top Prospect award winner Jonah Bolden has completed a transfer to Maccabi Tel Aviv, while his previous club Crvena zvezda mts will receive a transfer fee for this deal.

The Israeli powerhouse announced that Bolden signed a 3-year contract.

This is not a transfer you see every day, simply because Jonah Bolden joined Crvena zvezda mts this summer. However, even before making the official debut for the red & white squad, the Australian power forward was transferred to Maccabi Tel Aviv, as the offer was obviously too good both for Zvezda and for the player.

Recall that Jonah Bolden was selected by the Philadelphia 76ers in the second round of the 2017 NBA draft as the 36th overall pick.

Zvezda nije mogla da odbije ovu ponudu - Bolden u Makabiju

Džona Bolden ipak neće igrati za Crvenu zvezdu mts u narednoj sezoni, pošto je potpisao trogodišnji ugovor sa Makabijem iz Tel Aviva.

Džona Bolden, najbolji mladi igrač ABA lige za sezonu 2016/17, je zvanično novi igrač Makabija iz Tel Aviva, a njegov sada već bivši klub Crvena zvezda mts će dobiti obeštećenje za ovaj transfer.

Košarkaški gigant iz Izraela je objavio da je Bolden potpisao ugovor na tri godine (uz klauzulu da može da ide u NBA ligu posle svake sezone).

Ovo nije transfer koji se viđa svakog dana iz prostog razloga što je Bolden stigao u Crvenu zvezdu mts ovog leta. Ipak, čak i pre nego što debitovao za crveno-bele, australijski košarkaš je prešao u redove Makabija, jer je ponuda očigledno Izraelaca bila previše dobra i za klub i za igrača.

Boldena je ovog leta na NBA draftu izabrala Filadelfija kao 36. pika.
