What most people expected has finally come true.
Sasha Vezenkov responded positively to the offer he received from the Sacramento Kings and is leaving Olympiakos to move to the USA and compete in the world’s top basketball league, where he will pursue the biggest challenge of his career! After his proven dominance in Europe, he managed to stand out among the best of the best.
Having managed to reach the top of Europe and emerge… unanimously as the MVP of last season, the Vezenkov signs a three-year contract with total benefits 20 million dollars to the “kings”. However, after taxes are calculated, he is expected to put in his bank account something more than 3 million euros net. Of course, these will not be the only income of Vezenkov from his presence in the NBA, since various bonuses are included in his contract.

As for Olympiakos, he is now invited to look at her “next day” which concerns the succession of its most valuable player, having put into its coffers 1.5 million euros paid to him as a buy out for the departure of Vezenkov. Of this, half (750,000) should be paid to him by the Kings and the other half by Vezenkov himself. As has already been known for days through bwinSPORT FM by Nico Zervathe primary goal of the “red and white” to replace the Bulgarian international is the Nikola Miroticwho dissolved his collaboration with Barcelona and is looking for the next station in his career.
Having saved the amount he offered to Vezenkov to convince him not to go to the Kings and including the buy out that will put in his coffers, the Olympic can afford to… chase me full wallet the experienced power forward, while the report mentions that both sides see very positively the possibility of their cooperation.
However, Mirotic’s divorce with Barcelona will not be… velvet, since according to reports in Spain the 32-year-old is trying to receive the full amount he was agreed to receive in the contract he signed with the “Blaugrana” (€22 million). . Both sides are trying to find the “golden ratio”, but until that happens, Olympiacos will wait.
Having saved a total of 3 million euros after the finalization of Vezenkov’s departure, the “red and whites” are expected to offer the Mirotic a contract that will earn him approx 2.5 million euros per year, being optimistic that they will be able to achieve the big deal. Of course, there are also alternatives in the Olympiakos squad, but given that, the priority is Mirotic.
Last season, the 32-year-old averaged 15.4 points (60% 2-pointers, 39% 3-pointers, 80% shooting), 4.3 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 16.4 points per 24:58 per game. , while he has played 9 seasons in Euroleague, with the best of all being that of 2021-22, when he “counted” 16.9 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.4 assists. At the same time, he had an important presence in NBAwhere in five seasons and 319 games with their jerseys Bullsof Pelicans and the Bucksaveraged 12.3 points (50% on 2-pointers, 36% on 3-pointers, 81% on field goals), 5.9 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game.
