Dubai Sign Thomas Walkup From Olympiacos for $2.6M
Dubai completed a $2.6 million transfer for guard Thomas Walkup, who signed a three-year, $9.6 million contract despite EuroLeague scrutiny over the deal.
Dubai have completed the signing of Thomas Walkup from Olympiacos, paying the Greek club $2.6 million for a player still under contract, Eurohoops reports.
Walkup's deal with Olympiacos carried no buyout clause, so the two clubs had to negotiate terms separately. Dubai made several offers before Olympiacos agreed to let the 33-year-old guard go.
Olympiacos had accused Dubai of improper contact with Walkup while he was still under contract, a complaint that drew the attention of EuroLeague officials, who by all accounts opened a disciplinary investigation into the Emirati club.
Walkup has signed a three-year contract with Dubai worth $9.6 million.
