Lee Dae-sung, a professional basketball player in Seoul who returned to Korea after a year, said, “There was no sincerity” in the proposal to recruit his former team, Daegu Korea Gas Corporation, apart from ” moral responsibility.” Looking at a series of processes, Korea Gas Corporation, which changed its position depending on the situation of free agent (FA) negotiations, has also encouraged confusion.
“We have asked the Korea Basketball League (KBL) to hold a financial committee regarding violations of regulations in the transfer process,” a KGC official said on the 23rd. “We are also considering legal aspects.” Lee Dae-sung explained at a press conference, but the situation seems to be falling into a deeper quagmire rather than ending.
The Korea Gas Corporation, which said it only learned about Lee Dae-sung’s FA registration on the 7th, the day of the FA’s disclosure, explained that it is difficult to bring in Lee Dae-sung, who has already completed the recruitment plan. However, Lee suddenly offered to join the team on the 20th, and Lee Dae-sung, who has already completed negotiations with Samsung, rejected the offer. In the process, the conflict deepened.
KGC negotiated with several players in the FA market. First, it chose Jung as its guard. It awarded 450 million won to Jung, who received 265 million won (222,000 dollars) in total compensation last season, expressing its commitment to strengthen its power. It was the “big man” who put more effort into it. KGC actively courted the big fish class A, but the deal fell through.
The next issue was the KGC’s attempt to recruit Lee Dae-sung late as the remaining “bullets” were left. “I told KGC that I would sign a contract with Samsung once I enter Korea,” Lee said. “We were discussing compensation issues between teams, but I got an offer a day before the deadline for self-negotiation. I was embarrassed.”
However, Lee Dae-sung also proceeded with the transfer process without giving KGC time to prepare. “I was not good enough to tell you about the FA application sooner. I am sorry,” he said. However, the apology was not accepted, and even the fiscal committee is being discussed. A KBL official said, “We are comprehensively examining whether it is appropriate for the fiscal committee’s agenda. We can open the meeting only when there is a violation of the regulations.”
