Khimki GM Pavel Astakhov: Shved is our leader. He may join NBA with a serious proposal

Astakhov: If he doesn’t get a good offer from the NBA, I don’t see any reason in why he should change the club.

Khimki Moscow GM Pavel Astakhov said that Alexey Shved may return to the NBA.

“He is our leader. When we sign new players, sometimes we consult with him. He is not just the highly paid player but part of our team, and it is very important. We want him to stay in Khimki. The negotiations with his agent have been held. We are in pause now. If he gets serious proposals from the NBA, not about the money but about the role in the team, it won’t be easy for us to keep him. He will accept a proposal with certain guarantees from the club and the coach. If he doesn’t get a good offer from the NBA, I don’t see any reason in why he should change the club. He is the absolute leader. But the final decision is up to him”.

Astakhov spoke with RG.ru.
