What happens if the clubs cannot agree on compensation for a player transfer within the given timeframe?

If the clubs cannot agree on compensation for a player transfer within the specified timeframe, FIBA intervenes to determine an appropriate compensation amount. This process ensures that transfers can occur smoothly even if the involved parties are unable to reach a consensus. The involvement of FIBA helps maintain fairness and uphold the integrity of player transactions, as they can provide an objective assessment based on established guidelines and contractual obligations.

The option suggesting contacting the player does not directly address the resolution of the compensation issue, while the idea that the transfer would simply be cancelled would not facilitate player movement in professional basketball. Negotiating for additional time may occur, but ultimately, it does not solve the underlying issue of compensation; thus, reliance on FIBA to determine the compensation is the most effective solution.
