    Simon and Balbay extended for 2 years, too.

    the picture at the moment, as far as I can see:

    Larkin - Micic - Balbay - Tuncer - Ilyasoglu
    Simon - Beaubois - Bitim
    Anderson - Kurtuldum
    Moerman - Motum - Birsen - Saybir
    Dunston - Pleiss - Sanli

    Coach: Ataman

        He is definitely a target because Ataman loves him. At the moment I have serious concerns about his finishing ablilities at the rim. He is not strong enough. In Addition to that shooting was always a problem but he is a great asset for creating for others. In any case is he better than Metecan.

          Well, Efes definitely made a good choice pairing Micic and Ataman. Micic learned so much in Zalgiris and he feels like a real coach in team. Ataman is just an easy entertainment. Moerman is also a nice addition. But I think, that you need a good SF and good bench PF and C. That would be a very solid team.

            Efes roster at the moment:

            Larkin (?) - Micic - Balbay - Tuncer (?)- Ilyasoglu
            Simon -
            Beaubois (?) - Bitim (?)
            Anderson (?) - Kurtuldum
            Moerman - Motum -
            Birsen (?) - Saybir
            Dunston - Pleiss -
            Sanli (?)

            my realistic (maybe not) wishlist:

            --> extend Larkin (estimated cost impact: +$1000k/year)
            --> sign Higgins to replace Beabouis (estimated cost impact: +$700k/year)
            --> sign Lucic to replace Motum (estimated cost impact: -$200k/year)
            --> sign Milutinov to replace Pleiss (estimated cost impact: +$1000k/year)
            --> bring Korkmaz to replace Anderson (estimated cost impact: +$500k/year)
            total cost impact: +3m USD

            Larkin - Micic - Balbay - Ilyasoglu
            Simon - Higgins
            Korkmaz - Kurtuldum
            Moerman - Lucic - Saybir
            Dunston -
            Milutinov - Sanli

              Dear Levenspiel, we need to correct some positions of Efes;

              Bugrahan Tuncer is combo guard, generally better to consider him as SG.
              Simon is SF.
              Mustafa Kurtuldum is pure SG.
              Birsen can play both forward spots, for our team mostly considered as SF.

              This year's roster is:

              Larkin, Micic, Balbay, Ilyasoglu
              Beaubois, Tuncer, Bitim, Kurtuldum
              Simon, Anderson, Birsen
              Moerman, Motum, Saybir
              Dunston, Pleiss, Sanli.

              There is only a wishlist for me - to keep Larkin.

                Thanks for the corrections, Efesdxb. I'd say Simon plays 1-2-3. The others are unfortunately not a factor for the EL.

                keeping Larkin is crucial yes, but then we'll be at the previous level + some experience & probably more cohesion. I think we need more muscle power inside.

                  Shame on you that you downgrade Furkan to Europe again. I am confident that hell stay overseas in a tanking team like Cleveland or the Suns.

                    If Efes keeps Larkin and bring Higgins(I doubt it) then we have the new champion

                      if he stays, fine. if he cannot find a contract, I hope he comes back home.

                        Names rumored with Efes shows we are on the right track. Higgins, Lucic, White, Reynolds and likes are kind of players we should be looking for.

                          Today in media, Tolga Gecim from Banvit will be Efes player next year.
                          He is one of all around player of 95-96 generation. Hope this is true and he will sign with Efes.

                              As the season is over and we are the champs, I would like to share my wish list for next season:

                              PG: Vasilije Micic, Shane Larkin, Dogus Balbay, Omercan Ilyasoglu
                              SG: Furkan Korkmaz - Terence Mann (LA Clipers drafted) - Bugrahan Tuncer
                              SF: Krunoslav Simon - Vladimir Lucic - Tolga Gecim - Metecan Birsen
                              PF: Adrien Moerman - Aaron White - Yigitcan Saybir
                              C: Bryant Dunston - Jordan Mickey or Jalen Reynolds - Sertac Sanli

                              On Loan: Mustafa Kurtuldum - Onuralp Bitim - Muhaymin Mustafa (if Furkan Korkmaz comes, I would prefer Omercan Ilyasoglu go out on loan as well)

                              Leaving: Beaubois, Anderson, Motum, Pleiss

                              Someone might say do we need this much of change after a successful season. However this will allow us build a long term team with additions like Mann, White and center as they will be all below 27 years.
