There are rumblings out of Dario Saric’s camp, that the young forward is unhappy right now with Anadolu Efes. According to David Pick of Eurobasket.com, Predrag Saric, the father of Dario is speaking out.
Raged over latest DNPs, Predrag Saric – father of Sixers draftee Dario Saric – threatens to pull his son outta Turkish club.

“We are thinking of leaving (Efes),” Saric Senior was quoted Re: Dario’s DNPs. Get him to Philadelphia. Now.

Now is it possible that Saric can come over and play for the Sixers this season? Probably not. Remember before the draft, Saric signed a deal with Anadolu Efes for two more years but made it known he could come to the NBA in the 2015-16 season.
But there is a way that Saric could possibly come over to the NBA sooner than later. If he did not sign a letter stating that he was deferring his arrival to the league, then the only thing that stands in his way is buyout from Efes.
Obviously, the Sixers have a ton of room under their salary cap but who knows if Saric comes over now and plays right away. He hasn’t gone through a full practice or summer league with the team.
In my opinion, I believe that Saric will stay over in Turkey and figure things out with Efes but I could be wrong. Weird things have happened in sports and I wouldn’t be surprised if the Saric’s camp pushes Efes’ hands which could ultimately put the ball in Sam Hinkie’s court.
