A lot may have been heard about his future in the past period, however, o Eddie Tavares made the decision to remain in Real Madrid, with both sides recently renewing their partnership for five more years and until the summer of 2029!
The 32-year-old center from Cape Verde spoke to the Spanish “La Provincia” about the choosing to remain a resident of Madrid, while, when asked about his partner in position “5” after the flight of Poirier, he analyzed the cases of Garuba and Ibaka.
Eddie Tavares’ statements in detail:
“I’ve been to many places but my goal was to stay in Madrid and in Spain as that’s where I feel comfortable and happy. You need to be where your family is having a good time.
With Vincent Poirier we had a very good partnership, but now we have to be more flexible. We will have other fives that are different from me. They will be able to shoot more than me and help in other areas.
If Ousmane Garuba comes, it will be very important for us because he can play with me and Ibaka. With his defensive ability, I can only focus on painting and my job will be easier. He helps a lot with his energy.
It would be very difficult for me to match Sadi Aldama. He is a player with many resources. I didn’t know much about him as he left the island for the US and people couldn’t see who he really was in Spain so they found out in the NBA. I think he is the best player of the Spanish national team.”
