Olympiacos is definitively out of Butler’s contention

To Red Star will continue his career unexpectedly Jared Butlerwith Olympic to turn definitively to other cases. The “red and whites”, made a significant effort for the 25-year-old guard who decided to leave the NBA for the Euroleague, effectively “wedge” the proposal of Red Star and the interest of Partizan and Paris, but they failed to convince the player.

The champions of Greece, they offered an excellent contract until 2027 to the playerwith earnings reaching the two million dollars a yearbut Butler’s decision wasn’t made based on money. His goal is to return as soon as possible to the NBA and to do this, he believes that he must play in a team that will be the number “1” in its region, so that he can have more playing time and at the same time better numbers in the statistics.

Olympiacos could not guarantee this to him, as in his region there are players such as Evan Fournier, Tyler Dorsey, Frank Nilikina and Thomas Walkupwhile he is in the process of returning Keenan Evans. Butler decided that the Red Star of the many injuries in the area (including Carter, Keenan and Graham) gives him the opportunity he asks for and everything shows that he will sign there.

Olympiacos, of course, remains in the market and looks at the “cuts” of the NBA to find the right player and as was the case with Butler, he will move if the player qualifies and can help him in a meaningful way. If such a case is not found, it is not excluded that he will stay for the time being in the region, while as mentioned by Nikos Zervas in his air News Bulletin 247is always in the market to add one to his roster tall that will flank Milutinov, Hall and Antetokounmpofor safety.
