It was reported earlier that the Greek powerhouse has offered Hezonja a lucrative deal. It appears that Croatian forward has better offers on the table.

Hezonja's matters are complicated due to the fact that his rights belong to FC Barcelona and carry a buyout tag of €400,000.

Hezonja (26, 2.03) played 26 games last season for PAO in the EuroLeague and the Greek league. He averaged 14.4 in the top European competition (8 contests).

Mario Hezonja (drafted 5th overall in 2015) has also been a member of three NBA teams - Orlando Magic, New York Knicks, and Portland Trail Blazers. He has career averages of 6.9 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 1.3 assists in 330 games.
