The conversation with Oberdovich and the message from Boston: This is how Yam Madar paved the way for the Belgrade partisan

The Celtics made it clear that an unsecured contract was "not right for us and not right for him", the Serbian fox strengthened and Hapoel Tel Aviv got a picture of victory after "they thought we would not get 20,000".

Yam Madar came to the Serbian luxury club in order to learn from the master and get to the NBA "from a completely different place".

That's how it happened

Yam Madar is training in New York ahead of the NBA Summer League (from Twitter)

A few days before Yam Madar left for the United States for training ahead of the summer league, his representatives met with Hapoel Tel Aviv staff in order to reach an understanding. On the one hand, although the parties ended an unpleasant arbitration with a problematic ruling that tends towards Hapoel Tel Aviv without specifying a specific release amount, on the other hand, both Hapoel and Madar wanted not to leave open ends before leaving for one of the critical months of his career.

During those talks it was agreed that if Madar does not get a guaranteed contract in the NBA, Hapoel Tel Aviv will enter into negotiations with any team that wants the player. "If Yam had been closed to the partisan even then, they would probably have reduced the release amount," Hapoel said last night, explaining that Madar "was sure he would get to Boston."

Indeed, only last week when the Celtics made it clear to Madar representatives that he would not receive a guaranteed contract, did he return to the possibility that emerged two months ago - Partizan Belgrade.

Within a few days, things matured, and after the signing, Madar will become the third Israeli to play in the Serbian league in recent years after Gal Makal at the Red Star in Belgrade and Guy Pnini at Zeleznik.

The phone call between Madar and Zeliko Oberdovich left a great impression on the young talent from Beit Dagan. Madar sent a message that he would be happy to play in the partisan if the move to the Celtics did not help, but at the same time in Serbia it is said that after the conversation, senior members of the team estimated that the chances of the player joining are low. "We realized Madar wanted and could get to the NBA. His agents are very strong in the United States, and they made us realize he would probably do it."

The turnaround came about a week ago, when Madar actively returned to the European market. The reason was not one weak game or another or the injury towards the end of the summer league, but simply his and his associates' understanding that a guaranteed contract in Boston would not come. "There was an attempt to reach a two-way contract," one Celtics man admitted in recent days, "it was not something we thought was right for us or the sea."

In the background of the contacts was Hapoel Tel Aviv.

The Reds were willing to compromise on money if Madar reached the final roster of Boston, but in any other case they stood very firm with solid demands, wanting at least $ 250,000.

This demand took the possibility of the Development League out of the chapter and led Madar to Europe.

In recent days, apart from Partisan, there were two other groups in the picture - the German Hall and Charleroi from Belgium.

However, it was willing to accept Madar, but was unable to pay sums that approached the demands of the Reds.

All these figures led back to the Belgrade partisan.

Eventually Madar will earn about $ 300,000 for two years, plus an option for a third season, with options to leave for the NBA.

The money for Hapoel Tel Aviv will be paid by a partisan with help from Madar.

The conversation with the master did its thing.

Madar will join in the coming days for partisan training that began earlier this week, and will join one of the glittering projects on the continent. Partisan wants to return to the top of European basketball, and after years of professional and economic shuffle, she is aiming very high. It even receives assistance from entities close to the government in Serbia to restore its crown to its former glory.

During the season, Partizan will play in two main settings - the Eurocup and the Adriatic League. At this point, no less than four coordinators are signed in the partisan - Madar, Dallas Moore, Marcus Page and 19-year-old local Mikhail Petrovich. Bessarabia estimated last night that if this is the list that will remain for the start of the season, Madar can make his way through the season even up to the top five and to a central position under Zeljko Oberdovic.

But the big question is around the arrival of Kevin Pangos, who was defined by partisan officials this week as "our main target this summer."

Last summer Pangos was a candidate for many teams on the continent, and finally surprised when he left Zenit who offered him a big contract.

If he signs in Belgrade, he will become Oberdovic's key player and make Madar's situation more complicated.

As mentioned, Madar's contract is for two years plus an option for a third year.

Madar's camp said yesterday that he will try his luck in the NBA again next summer.

"Yam has learned a great deal from this summer, and we know that a certain position needs to be reached for the summer. He will hope to be there next year," one of his friends said yesterday.

Will greatly affect Madar's status.

One of last night's big winners was Rami Cohen, chairman of Hapoel Tel Aviv. Just a few days ago, some called Cohen's demand for $ 250,000 for Yam Madar "rude." Although Maccabi Tel Aviv accepted Danny Abdia, Dragan Bender and Elijah Bryant lot more money in recent years, as Hapoel Jerusalem on Diooidas Sirooidis, but also on the amount Reds will Mader is not reversed. in fact, this is the most expensive transfer of an Israeli in Israel in Europe.

"There were those who did not believe we get 20 thousand Dollars, "Hapoel Tel Aviv said proudly yesterday," we have always stood firm in our opinion, and it turned out that we were right. If we compare it to football and what is commonly paid, it is equivalent to a sale of 3-4 million dollars. That is a great achievement for the club. "

Rami Cohen was among the only ones at Hapoel Tel Aviv who claimed in recent months that if Madar did not play for Boston, he would prefer that he play for Hapoel Tel Aviv.

Cohen believed that Madar would have added value to the group, also financially, and that he would help the group in everything related to finding sponsors and selling appointments.

At the same time, the group said last night: "But it is not $ 250,000."

The Madar deal will lead to an increase in Hapoel Tel Aviv's efforts with the addition of Gal Makal, who was left without a team at this advanced stage of the summer.

Makal said several times last summer that he would prefer to return to Israel for personal reasons and the Reds are the prominent candidates to take him on.

The arrival of a stick is expected to lead to the departure of Gil Benny.
