Victor Claver will likely leave Valencia Basket with a $600,000 buyout to play for the Blazers during the 12-13 season.

Portland drafted Claver with the 22nd overall pick in the 2009 NBA Draft.

The Knick met last week with Pablo Prigioni, a 35-year-old point guard who played last season in Spain for Caja Laboral.

Prigioni has been on the Knicks’ radar since 2009 and is believed to open to the NBA after spending his entire career in Europe.

Nikola Mirotic is in no rush to start his NBA career.

“He’ll remain under contract with Real Madrid for the next couple years,” Bulls general manager Gar Forman said. “But it’s certainly our goal and our expectation that Nikola will be in a Chicago Bulls uniform somewhere down the line. We’ll continue to monitor his progress and feel really good about the development that’s taking place.”

Mirotic was acquired by Chicago in a draft night deal last summer. This past season, he became the first two-time Euroleague Rising Star Trophy winner.

“Nikola is a very skilled player,” said Forman. “He can play inside and he can play outside. He can knock down the three-point shot. He’s a hardnosed player who we think will really fit in to our system.”
