THE Ofer Janai has proven that he is not spending money when it comes to reinforcing the Hapoel Tel Aviv. Zaplos businessman revealed that he had even examined the case of the summer Sasha Vezenkovlike Mike James, but it was not realistic to get both contracts with both, with Olympic and Monaco respectively.
“Sasha is the best Bulgarian basketball player but he has a contract“, Yanai told the Euroinsiders podcast. “Believe me, we examined every top player on the market. Vezenkov is among them, but he has a contract and was not realistic to come. We also talked to Mike James. We just don’t want to talk to players who have contracts with other Euroleague clubs“, He added.
Hapoel has one of the biggest budget in the Euroleague, touching only 20m euros for the roster. The top addition is undoubtedly Vasilie Michic, who returns to Europe with a contract reaching $ 6 million for the season, making him the most expensive player not only in Israeli basketball history, but also in this year’s Euroleague. In addition to Michic, Hapoel added two more players with particularly high earnings to her roster. The reason for Elijah Bryant, who will receive $ 2.8 million a year, and Dan Outuru, who will have $ 2.2 million.
