Baldwin: “I’m leaving Maccabi – Maybe I’ll come back in the future”

He confirmed that he is leaving the Maccabi The Wade Baldwin. Although he has a contract in place, the American guard has decided to leave, as he is concerned about the safety of his family in Israel. In fact, it is said that he already has a proposal of 5.5 million dollars for a two-year contract from the Fenerbahce to wait for him.

“It was my last game at Maccabi, at least for the foreseeable future. Why am I leaving? For the obvious reasons… It has to do with my family, the fear of tomorrow. It’s not an easy decision, because the fans and the club were family to me. I don’t know if everyone will leave, but I know that I am leaving. I love my family very much and it’s hard to see them while I’m here. But you might see me again in the future at Maccabi. I have no complaints from the team. It’s been a fantastic two years and I’ve been honored to wear her shirt. But I’m still only 28 years old, I still have several years of career left“, emphasized the former Olympiakos ace.

He says goodbye to Maccabi as champions, after winning the third final against Hapoel Tel Aviv. “After the injury with Panathinaikos I was in a very dark place, in a bad state of mind. We had a tough time all season. I couldn’t help the team sooner and wanted to avoid any serious risk of another relapse. But I’m glad I was able to play in the last final and help the team close a difficult season with the league“, write down.
