The Catalan side essentially matched the amount given by Valencia, resulting in the 25-year-old American shooting guard remaining on the team for the time being. Now, if Valencia keep pursuing the player, they will have to negotiate with the club to buy his rights.

Badalona announced their move and an hour before the deadline expired from the day Valencia submitted the offer (July 7), and kept the 25-year-old player on their roster for the time being.

Guy, 1.85 m., had a solid season averaging 11.5 points in the regular season of the Spanish league, 19.8 points in the playoffs (45% three-point shooting) and 11.8 points in the EuroCup.

Hence, any team that wants to buy him will have to talk to the Catalans.
