Bombs by Yanai: “James wants Hapoel, he talks every night with Itoudis but they don’t let him go”

OR Hapoel Tel Aviv She is getting ready for her maiden season in the Euroleague, with his Dimitris Itoudi on the bench and a very powerful roster, having acquired among others Vasilie Michic, Elijah Bryant, Daniel Otourou and Chris Jones.

This economic ‘ranse’ of the group has the signature of its owner, Ofer Janaiwhich is anything but … tight. Indeed, in an interview he gave, the powerful man of the club showed his enormous ambitions.

In particular, the Janai referred to the transcriptional objectives that the Hapoel but they were wrecked because of the war, he talked about the way he convinced him Michic To become a player of the team, while claiming that Mike James … begs to join the Israelis.

In detail what he said:

For negotiations with players in the midst of war: “The funniest moments in players discussions were when I was watching Itoudis trying to reject the claim that a rocket hit his home. He tried to say that it was not so important. ” He didn’t hit the house itself, hit the pool ”. It was really funny.

Elijah Bryant and Dan Outuru ended the week I was in Abu Dhabi. They were scared. Everyone would come to Israel, but I had to spend time to persuade them. I talked to Elieza Bryant’s agenda and told him I thought it would be my “precious pearl”, which is Mormon’s book and I knew he would understand it as Mormon. “

For the transfer of Michic: “Michic was the only one who wanted to negotiate with me only. He is an excellent man. It was an interesting process to get him. At first he was still a NBA player and said he was not sure he would come, I explained to him for Hapoel Tel Aviv. I explained to him the importance of the group’s name and was associated with her. At some point I talked to his agenda and the numbers were crazy. Unrealistic. I told him I was tired, I want to know if he wants to come. After that I told him we would split up. I told him that I had a vision that Vassa would be a player of Hapoel Tel Aviv.

And now, with all the clubs who wanted him, personal relationships have helped, as well as the fact that we gave him some of the money in shares. It could win a lot more if we were in the NBA Europe project. After closing, he returned to this vision and told me that his company had the same vision, that I would play for Hapoel Tel Aviv. I laughed with him that if he had told me earlier, I would have paid less. The numbers listed are not correct. I don’t want to say how much, but it has a very good contract. People do not understand that they have received less money than Hapoel Tel Aviv than from Real or Fenerbahce. He chose to come to Hapoel Tel Aviv. “

For Mike James: “What is happening now in the Euroleague is a problematic situation. There are super groups – Spanish Real Madrid and Barcelona, Pao and Olympiacos, and Turkish – Fenerbahce and Efes. Dubai must prove its value. There is Monaco, which is a super group because it has qualified for the Final Four several times. Mike James wants to come to Hapoel Tel Aviv and talks to Itoudis every night, but they don’t want to let him go. “
