After Pander’s “no” who? Dorsey and the other options of Panathinaikos

After him Facundo Campachoanother big goal of his Panathinaikou he rejected the best financial offer of the “greens” to continue his career elsewhere. THE Kevin Pander, Ergin Ataman’s main target for position “2”, decided to continue his career in Barcelona and forces the “clover” to turn to other solutions for his reinforcement. After all, the Turkish coach has priority after him Luka Vildosa to acquire two or three more foreign players in the guards with ability in the personal phase and shooting.

Panathinaikos certainly hoped for the “yes” of the American shooting guard, however, he was prepared for everything and has several alternatives in mind, as well as a willingness to give enough money to strengthen himself significantly. THE Tyler Dorsey it was a target anyway, but after yesterday’s unpleasant development the interest becomes even more intense. Of course, this case is not simple either, since even though the 27-year-old ace is not in Fenerbahce’s plans, he is bound by a strong contract for another two years, with his annual salary exceeding 1.5 million euros. In fact, the Istanbul team does not intend to compensate him or at least wants to completely get rid of the remainder of his contract (until 2025). However, the fact that the international ace has a Greek passport makes him an even more attractive option for Panathinaikos.

From there on, the “greens” are interested in data about him Dante Exum, however, the Australian does not seem to be in a hurry and it seems that he has his sights set on his return to the NBA. Panathinaikos could be seriously concerned by Shabazz Napier, who had come a breather from OAKA in the offseason (before Matt Thomas was acquired). But the American guard is thinking of returning to the USA for family reasons, while in case he continues in Europe, it seems that Armani Milan has priority who wants to keep him.

In the European market, there are not many options that are particularly exciting for the guards, so it is not unlikely that Panathinaikos will turn to the NBA, which, however, requires time and patience. Ergin Ataman, however, has shown that he knows how to… shop from the USA, as he has done repeatedly in his career, with the most shocking case being the acquisition of Shane Larkin.

In market of free agents there are quite affordable players on the basis of cash, such as the champion with the Nuggets Reggie Jackson, Jrue Holiday’s brother Aaron, Javonte Green, Shayk Milton or even the Europeans Goran Dragic (although the Slovenian is 37), Svi Mihailiuk (the Ukrainian was an opponent of Greece in Eurobasket) and Frank Dilikina (the Frenchman did not have the expected development).

Panathinaikos adheres waiting position for the rest of his movements as well. He has done them his strikes on Matias Lessor and Jacques LeDaywhile waiting for his answer George Papagiannis (who continues individual training in the USA) and the developments with him Ioannis Papapetrou. Within the first ten days of July, the fate of his appeal will be known Dino Mitoglou at CAS, with the international power forward/center having good communication with the “cloverleaf” about his return. If his sentence is reduced and he becomes available from November, then the plans to strengthen the front line will also be adjusted.
