Galatasaray 2016-17

[turk-jugoslav]

Seems like we've assembled a home game-team again and we will suck at away games. We don't look tough and stubborn and are taking a lot of risks by getting players such as Krstic, Daye and Diebler. In amazing atmospheres just like what happened in succesful Eurocup season, we can beat any team at home but away games will be huge problem with this roster.

With this team you will lost most of away games thats for sure. But home wins are not easy as you think. Hammering eurocup teams doesnt mean that you can beat top level teams. You dont have any wins against Real-Barca-Pao-Maccabi in your history. Only one against Cska and Oly. So the atmosphere did not prove itself against top teams before. Smashing Zaragoza in 15 minutes is completely different story than beating Cska Real Oly Pao.

Galatasaray re-sign swingman Blake Schilb. Also Andrew Goudelock made proposals. But there wasn't agreement yet.

Current squat Galatasaray:

G: Smith, Guler, Korkmaz
G: Diebler, Koksal
F: Micov, Schilb
F: Daye, Thompson, Arar
C: Tyus, Krstic

[janketa]

The big mistery is Smith(just like Nunnally for Fener) and from him will depend if GS could do some great things. The biggest mistake is Diebler but he is not a mistery, we all know his limits.

[Oguz Guven]

Galatasaray is new transfer forward Orhan Aydin Haciyeva.

And i read that GS expecting to sell over 7000 combined ticket ? Oh wait, it was Ataman's dream.

He's optimistic expectations. Difficult, but not impossible.

not expectation. Ataman wanted to motivated supports by challenging them to exceed Fenarbahçe.

Ataman can be truly annoying, but never boring.

I just read an interview on basketdergisi, where he says the target for this year is the EL title, and F4 would not be satisfactory. Typical Ataman.

notes:
- budget is 9m USD, 8.5m USD is spent so far
- wanted to keep McCollum, but he's gone.
- "Krstic is our biggest gamble. But he's healthy now, and he's the best center in Europe when in shape"
- Goudelock was almost done deal, then he went to Maccabi for a lower offer.

I think he also said they sought to keep Lasme before the weed incident arose

Wow Guys, you declared that your budget will be something around 7mln, then I saw that you guys will spend like 9 millions just on the roster... I thought that you will be our (Zalgiris) close rivals, but with Dentmon, Smith, Kristic, Tyus, Daye, Micov and Diebler your somethere in the middle. But I think you will have problems having so much players that like to have the ball 90% of the time. What do you think about Zalgiris roster? It is completed and it looks like that:
PG Westermann(SG), Pangos(SG), Lekavicius, Valinskas(SG)
SG Seibutis(SF), Milaknis(SF)
SF Ulanovas, Lipkevicius
PF Jankunas, Motum, Hartestein(SF)
C Lima, Kavaliauskas(PF), Javtokas

Zalgiris has experienced players in the team. Javtokas, Jankunas, Seibutis and Milaknis... Will be good games played at home.

Galatasaray interested in Tibor Pleiss after Krstic decided to retire.
