European Competitions 2023/24 - Signings & Rumours

[paspalj]

As backup pg? He intends to leave Oly just because not starting games(while playing 30+ minutes) and you expect from him to accept backup role in Fener?

In that case I would take him over Calathes too

I'm sorry I don't follow how Fener has structured their roster this year. I was just mentioning that imo Sloukas is a better/more useful player than Calathes. Unless you have 4 players that can shoot 35%+ from 3 at any given time

Sadly, as a fan, I do agree with you. But what can you offer more the the players? Money is not the problem, you have a coach who was 3 years in a row in the EL finals, won twice, fans are great, Athens great city to live... but honestly, I am actually satsified that we didn't sign Punter and especially Thompson for that money. They are both not worth it. Sg and pf will be very likely big names with the money saved on some other positions.

Half of the market earns more money than it deserves. To be picky at the moment is very dangerous because you can stay empty handed eventually and have nothing to work with.

I agree with all your points but you need to send a statement too with a big signing. Also to give the team the goal you are chasing. Just to try building a team with chemistry wont be enough I suppose. You need an engine that can energize the whole team. Maybe such a signing will come in the next days or weeks Idk.

It would be great if we signed Hernagomez or Tavares or whatever. But if we can't find something that is worth the move, I prefer to build patiently rather than spending money just for flashiness. As Edgar said, I believe that Ataman knows what's up. If he doesn't think that 2+ mil for Thompson/Punter are worth it then I believe him. I will be able to talk about his choices in a couple of years. Not now. We need to be patient. You don't learn a new skill in a week, you don't lose fat in a week, you don't build relationships in a week, you don't build an EL in one summer. We need patience.

Ataman likes great scorers, I'm curious about the guards we are going to sign (I somehow believe that he may keep Grigonis thanks to his efficiency in scoring)

You have summoned saras.

Sloukas is better, no doubt about that, but I don't want to see him in charge as 1st pg. Calathes is ok as backup if we could bring someone like Pangos

[saras]

Grigonis is only good for Tour de France.

Today it was officialy announced that ponitka leaves the team. Hopefully next one is grigonis, the most useless player (thinking about money we spend for this trash, we even paid 350K to csska) 15 years after we signed his compatriot, javtokas. The right thing to do with grigonis is to ask him to give as back those 350K, cause no other team would give that money to get him out of russia and then let him wherever he wants. This trash fooled the team the whole season, was faking injuries to stay away from court and he doesnt desever to be in the team. Maybe we should have let him stay in russia and have a pleasant life of a lithuanian living in russia while they are on a war

I totally agree here. Grigonis might have had the season of his life 2-3 years ago but he is totally overrated and no team with F4 ambitions should have him on the roster as an important piece.

[tonia]

I get that I'm probably the only one here still believing in Grigonis' talent in offence and blaming our ex coach for not using him properly or at all.

You're not alone

Mirotic to Oly?

5,5 mil for 2 years, massive contract.

I would take Sloukas over Calathes any time.

Of course, at least you know that he scores the fts if fouled.

[ronmercer80]

About Sloukas this is correct but he has already played for Fener when he was younger, I suppose he knows that he can't be the main offensive weapon, otherwise I don't know what to think.

Pangos, great pg but too many serious injuries. I wouldn't risk with him.

Grigonis for the past couple of seasons reminds me of Drew Nicholas. Unfortunately it's the CSKA version of Nicholas.

Maccabi signed James Webb (ex Valencia), official.
