His acquisition Nikola Milutinov it was a very strong “appetizer” to strengthen it Olympiakou, but it is possible that the next moves will be a little late. This is because they depend on the outcome of his cases Kostas Sloukas and his Sasha Vezenkov. Not only of their given class, but also for the additional reason that they do not fill positions of foreigners.
As for the first one, the “red and white” are waiting for his answer. The 33-year-old guard is on vacation in Italy, together with his close friend and best man, Jan Vesely. Slukas has attracted interest from several teams, such as Armani Milano, Partizan, and there are even rumors of Barcelona. However, despite the objections he has regarding his playing time and his role in the team, he has not said “no” to Olympiakos and his definitive answer is expected within the next few days.
Perhaps it would be quicker to clear up the issue of Sasha Vezenkov. The Kings they are preparing their final offer to the 27-year-old forward, the amount of which will also determine his answer, as in addition to the money, it will also show how much they value the player in the NBA. The latest information from Sacramento reports that the Kings will offer him around $7.5 million per year, an amount that if confirmed will be difficult for the player to refuse, since it will mean that he will be counted on as a valuable member off the bench.
Regardless of the Sluka case, it seems that his is moving forward Nigel Williams-Goss. Giorgos Bartzokas has given the green light for the American guard and is close to signing a two-year contract, while in case Slukas does not continue, it is not unlikely that another addition will be made to the perimeter. It is noted that Olympiacos has right to activate Isaiah Kanaan’s renewal option until July 5.
In case of Vezenkov’s departure, Olympiacos will move for foreign forward having the ability to spend a very significant amount, since more than 3 million euros will be saved from the contract of the Bulgarian international and the buy out (1.5 million).
His case is simpler, but not… procedural Kostas Papanikolaoufor whom, however, there is the belief that a date with the Angelopoulos brothers will be enough to stay until the end of his career at the port.
