Team won't give him buyout, says Folha de Sao Paulo, Brazil's biggest newspaper [as translated by machine with some help from me]:
Club can make Tiago Splitter give up "draft".
The Brazilian most mentioned in the "mock drafts" of the NBA has a contract for two more years with Tau Ceramica (ESP), who does not want to free him.
"We are negotiating. If he will not have a release, no draft. No NBA team would wait two years for an athlete ", says Luis Martin, agent of Splitter.
