Jordan Farmar, who won two rings with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2009 and 2010, will reportedly be bought out from the Atlanta Hawks today and sign a three year, $10.5 million contract with Turkish team Anadolu Efes, according to Colin Stephenson of The Star-Ledger:

"For me, it's great,'' Farmar said of his offer from Efes.

The Turkish club also would provide perks, like a place to live and a car for Farmar and his wife. Farmar is planning on getting married July 28.

Farmar, who played in Israel last summer, plans to go to Istanbul as soon as he clears NBA waivers.
