Euroleague / European Club Competitions 2022/23 - Signings & Rumours

[AmonRA]

Pao made stupid mistake leting Nedovic to go. They will be punished for that.

I already wrote(even before Campazzo) that CZ is among favorites for F4

Now I will go further, my prediction for final is Efes-CZ. It's maybe weird but imo the best duo or trio win the title. Nedovic-Campazzo-Vildosa or Micic-Larkin-Clyburn?

With old good(the best)Larkin I would bet on Efes, but in this moment he is below 20% of his real possibilities

Strange season. For 20 years of following never saw something like this

lets put to side that campazzo will miss 9 games due ban, zvezda is without vildoza(mvp of december) for month, plus 2 months ivanovic and martin..
that is a big blow, not to mention how referees starts to "leads" games from last round after this situation with campazzo..
everyone knows for barca(referee is sanctioned with 4 games, but we dont have nothing from that), and who didnt watch last night game it is enough just to watch last action, and how referees again stayed blind..

plus before that gifted 3 free throws for prepelic..

this year is different. it's tougher, and it seems like Larkin is injured forever.

besides, we remember Singleton and others in their good version. But he was abysmal until the F4 last year. and He has not trained at all this year. at the age of 33/34. Not sure what he can provide. the only advantage is that he knows what to do.

on other news, Jalen Smith is rumored for Fener.

Larkin is difference maker in Efes and always will be, his injuries are the only problem for Efes right now.

Other then that, EL is toughter but could be just illusion because the only difference is that Serbian clubs replaced Russian in quality and high goals

Curious how is it possible not to train for such a high level player?
Lazyness?
Or was he retired for real and efes convinced him back?
I just cam not imagine me being 33, expecting to still play and not train at all like you say.
That is unbelievable. Maybe you misundertiod something?

That was the deal with Virtus as well apparently, but then they didn't meet for 2023 salary..

So he did not want to sign woth virtus just for this season like he did with zalgiris?
Or virtus did not want him just for this season?
I would imagine an italian would prepfer to play in Italy

He asked too much (in virtus opinion) for the following season. Virtus did not want him just for this season

Laso hasn't found a club yet but the Israeli federation strongly wants him for the national team!

would be a great idea. shooting skill of young israeli players (despite israeli fans who love dunks jumps and muscles) would perfect fit with Laso style. hopefully , it would be the step toward yellow bench...(my dream)

I really hope that the working environment at Pao was good enough for a coach like Laso to come.

D.Giannakopoulos stated in the past that he found Radonjic a better choice than Laso, who hasn't been tested in a team with lower budget than Real's. In my opinion, it is just sour grapes..

[Obina]

Chima Moneke to Monaco.

[rk2r7]

Chima Moneke to Monaco.

Great player and good fit for Monaco that hopes he will make good spacing on floor. Last year BCL MVP. Monaco guards shooting really bad for 3pt and Moneke is someone that can create more space for them.

It's pretty easy to see through his bullshit

that's what Ataman said. He called him to ask if he wanted to come back. Singleton replied he had not trained at all but was in good physical shape. As far as I understand, Singleton was busy with his non-bball businesses and did not necessarily plan to return.

PS. Found the full quote:
"Singleton will join us in Spain for the double week. We will evaluate his status then. I talked to him on the phone. He has not done any basketball training, but he feels good physically. He's a player who knows our system and the team. I expect him to adapt very quickly, as we don't have time. Unless an unexpected situation happens, I will include him in the Valencia game roster and we will see if or how much he can play."

So, lots of faith is involved here, more than a professional approach. Let's see how it turns out.

Shannon Evans joins Valencia & DJ Seeley joins Bayern. Evans is not someone I have watched before so idk what to expect. While Seeley was one of my favorite players to watch in last ABA season.

It turned out very well since Singleton is one of the smartest EL defenders I ever saw. Its enough to watch how he defended Mirotic in the Barca game and Singleton also threatens enough behind the arc even though he doesnt hit many of his shots.
