Full for Mirotic with a full wallet, Olympiacos. THE Sasha Vezenkov decided to accept the Kings’ offer and leave Piraeus for Sacramento, with Olympiakos now looking at the next day.

Having managed to reach the top of Europe and emerge…unanimously as the MVP of last season, Vezenkov signs a three-year contract with total earnings of 20 million dollars to the “kings”. However, after taxes, he is expected to put a little more than 3 million euros in his bank account 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.

In addition, the Kings will have to pay 1,500,000 euros as a buy out to Olympiakos, which is now called upon to look at the “next day” regarding the succession of its most valuable player. As it has already been known for days through bwinSPORT FM by Nikos Zervas, the primary goal of the “red and white” is Nikola Miroticwho ended his partnership with Barcelona and is looking for the next stage in his career.

Having saved the amount he offered to Vezenkov to convince him not to go to the Kings, and taking into account the buyout he will put in his coffers, Olympiacos has the financial comfort to… chase the experienced power forward with a full wallet, while the report should mention that both sides see very positively the possibility of their cooperation.

However, Mirotic’s divorce with Barcelona it won’t be… plush, 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 had signed with the “Blaugrana” (€22 million). The two sides are trying to find the “golden ratio”, but until that happens, Olympiacos will have to wait.

Having saved a total of €3m after Vezenkov’s departure was finalised, the Reds are expected to offer Mirotic a contract worth around €2.5m a year, hoping they can pull off 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 the 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 the NBA, where in five seasons and 319 games with the Bulls, Pelicans and Bucks jerseys, he had 12.3 points (50% on two-pointers, 36% on three-pointers, 81% on shots), 5.9 rebounds and 1.3 assists per average.
