Nikola Vucevic, first round pick of the 76ers in the 2011 NBA Draft, is close to signing with Buducnost Podgorica.

Vucevic was asked by RealGM if he was in talks with teams from Europe.

"I'll play for a team until the lockout is over," said Vucevic. I want to stay in shape and keep getting better. There is a chance I sign with Buducnost from Podgorica. We're in talks now."

Vucevic was then asked if he had received attention from the top teams in Greece, Spain and Russia.

"I did but they would want to sign me for the whole year and I don't want that, I want to be able to go back to the NBA once the lockout is over."
