Former Oita HeatDevils star Wendell White met with team officials on Tuesday and repeated his demands that the team honor his expired contract 14 days after his salary was due.
After receiving approximately only 20 percent of his November salary last month — the team said it couldn't afford to pay him what he was owed — White played his final game for Oita on Nov. 18. He and his agent are now aggressively shopping his services to other bj-league teams.
But at the same time, the former UNLV star remains angry about the way the team is treating him, describing it as insulting and unethical. He said he plans to pursue legal action against the team while also issuing a formal complaint with FIBA, basketball's world governing body.
