I have said nothing about that. What I have said is that Tomic has options and leverage, and being paid a lot less to not play probably is not something that sounds good to him.
Here's the thing though. . . this is exactly how draft and stash 2nd round picks are supposed to work. They picked a 1st round talent who wasn't ready and needed the time over in Europe to develop. It would have been pointless to bring him over while the team had Jefferson, Millsap, Favors and Kanter.
2013/2014 would have been the first season to really consider him, but his buyout wasn't worth it. After two solid seasons in a row AND space on the roster, now is a good time to bring him over. It all depends on the buyout. A contract in the 3-4 million range isn't unheard of, and depending on what the buyout ends up being, I can see them going up to the MLE to secure him.
It makes sense for Tomic, because he's done the work in Europe but has pretty much maxed out his value over there. If he jumps to the NBA, he has to sign a 3 year contract. No player or team options. 3 years, strait up. He'll be 30 before he can earn his 2nd NBA contract, which is where he'll really get paid.
As to his playing time, he's a good pick and roll player. The Jazz just hired a pick and roll coach. He's a veteran on a young squad. I'm not too worried about him getting quality playing time and producing. All in all, this is the best opportunity since they drafted him to have his needs (financially and with playing time) line up with the team's needs (roster spot, lower buyout, more development and a new coach/system).
IMO, there's no better time to bring him over. He might not be a star, but he adds depth and scoring. If he adjusts to the pro game and excels, then the Jazz were smart to be patient with him. The Jazz situation is not too different from when/how other teams have brought talent over. It all depends on the buyout and how much they're willing to pay him to come over.
