I can understand not keeping Rodriguez for 3 years and even De Colo as he wanted to leave, but imho they should have paid Higgins unless he also definitely wanted to leave Moscow. Delaney - Higgins - Clyburn - Anyone - Koufos is a very nice lineup.
yes, all the fans agree that Higgins is the only player everybody would have preferred to stay, including the management. But his girlfriend is pregnant and they say that she wanted a milder climate for the baby. Sad, but nothing could be done. Higgins was the only one who definitely said he would leave even before the end of the season. As for De Colo, Vatutin said he wanted to go to the NBA, but smth went wrong. So he landed in Fener because CSKA was not after him at that time.
Nevertheless if we sign a perspective PG, we'll be FF contenders again. And staying in the background always does a good job for this team.
