European Club Competitions 2024/25 - Signing & Rumors

[Edgar]

I am actually very interested what will Partizan do during the summer. Punter's contract is horrible. They have a lot of guys that are just not worth the contract they have like Jaramaz, Leday, Kaminsky...obviously Kaminsky will not return. I am not sure what will be with Ponitka but the way Obradovic plays I don't think Ponitka is worth to stay for 500k per year. If they can they need to try get rid both of Punter and Leday. They earn too much. Let say Punter earns 2 - 2.5M per year. That's 1M more than what Nunn gets right now. And Punter seriously might be one of the worst players in Partizan this year. He got the contract based on that series against Real. Leday is just not the guy that can be your starting PF if you want to be F4 team. He is just not consistent. Especially when his backup is Smailagic...Marinkovic is great addition for them. If they can bring Lucic that would be great. They need beast in the paint, something like Nebo(Milan?) or even Poythress that would be cheaper option. Trevion Williams is amazing player that would be cheap. Jaylen Hoard or Vito Brown instead Leday so you will have more money to splash on other positions. And most of all they need good PG and SF. One guy like Calathes would be perfect.

Him and Kalinic is good duo for position 3. Backcourt is already one of the best(don't curse me for this), if Thompkins stays(Mitovic will be there too) it's only one center and maybe one guard away from quite competetive roster

You forgot that we signed Vildoza for next season..
Also we are in talks with Bonzie Colson.. It look like that we will make competative roster.

Hezonja is getting so much on my nerves. He is just trying to get the biggest contract possible and just talks nice about every team. In Berlin if Pao vs Real will be in the finals or 3rd place game he will definitely sing songs, salute to the fans etc. I hope Real will not increase their offer and even more I hope DPG will be cold and offer him sign or "we have other options" contract. 2 faces childish 29 yo. No wonder no one likes him in Croatia. He can only get positive reactions when he is licking *something* of the members of certain fan bases.

yeah hezonja should have said "yes im leaving real to go to PANATHINAIKOS or barcelona" 3 days before the f4, especially when real-PANATHINAIKOS is probably the most favorable matchup to be the final game.

the players have their minds on the f4, not their next team. they have probably already settled that long ago. sloukas didnt agree with PANATHINAIKOS at july, he probably had done that, way before. but he still played concentrated and was the best loserbiakos players in the playoffs and was good at greek finals too. same with hezonja, he will probably come to PANATHINAIKOS, but he is a pro player getting paid millions, so his mind should be just on how to ensure real winning the euroleague

And, by the way, congrats for winning another adriatic league. It was well deserved!

Thank you for your honest congratulations!

Why are you twisting my words? I have never said he should say something like that. But he is the only person on the planet that is Gate 13, Grobar, Cule and supports Real. If you don't understand his approach then I am so sorry but he wants to use every club to get the biggest contract. He doesn't give a damn if that will be Alba as long as he gets the biggest contract. And that's fair enough, but then he needs to shut up about his incredible love for Panathinaikos. I can't wait to see what's going to happen in summer. Also your logic about Sloukas is just crazy. He never had contact with Pao before the summer. Hezonja did but he acts like he wants to play in every damn club in the Europe. He just needs to shut up and say that he will say everything after the season. But no, he wants Florentino to offer a little bit more so he can call Laporta and then Laporta gives him a little bit more. After that he will call Savic and Obradovic so they can match the offer + 1 euro and then at the end DPG will be the last one to know about everything because he is the only one crazy to spend that much on Hezonja.

Anyway, Jean Montero close to signing with Valencia. He again had great year. I wish he signed for team where he will have more freedom. In the Spanish team he will get 20 minutes per game. He is pure beast I think he will have very good season especially if Jones leaves.

[SARIKIRMIZI]

A team like Galatasaray with more than 25 million fans is not allowed to play in EL, not on a regular basis anyway, But it's okay for asvel or alba to play EL. Is this a joke?

The fans doesn't change the fact that they'd fare worse than Alba & Asvel in the league with their recent approach.

Nothing against Galata but they were 5th this year? Fans are only part of it.

Poirier to Efes...

Nice move for Efes, it's now just a question what will happen with Clyburn. With him Efes is stucked on loser side forever

I am changing my opinion about Mijatovic a little bit after Smits and Poirier moves

Plus, Oturu was re-signed and Jones released.
Surprisingly logical moves, which only means something if Mr Clyburn is also gone.

Until now 5 good moves(or 4 in your case cos we don't agree about Larkin)

I didn't know about Jones btw, which is 2nd best move imo, Any source?

If those rumours about Efes is true, Efes doing pretty good job so far and they will be F4 contenders next season.
Clyburn must be released, in that case i like Larkin re-sign.
