An hour after the end of the Euroleague season in Belgrade it was reported that Will Claiborne is on the safe path to the new (and also less fresh) European champion Andulo Zero. From that moment began a huge wave of reports of transfers between teams that included names of some of the best players on the continent. We will soon get to the names and teams, but what can be seen so far is that unlike most teams, at least those that claim to be the biggest on the continent, Maccabi Tel Aviv is still not operating and it seems that it may miss an irreversible opportunity.
Let’s start and sort out the expected transfers we’ve heard so far: Jan Wesley is expected to move from Fenerbahce to Barcelona, while the chin who is expected to make way for him is Brandon Davis, who will make his way to Milan. Apart from Will Claiborne, another player in the same position who is expected to provide a big move is Mario Hazonia, who played last season in Kazan and will most likely be a Real Madrid player next season.
Another member of the prostitute last season and who was supposed to be the defensive player of the Euroleague season is John Brown, who will reportedly make his way to Monaco. Another player who is approaching Sasha Oberdovich’s team is ex – Premier League player Jordan Lloyd. In addition, the one who might make a big comeback is veteran Sergio Rodriguez, who will likely return to Real Madrid.
As you probably already understood this summer is not going to be a normal summer in the European player market and the main reason for this is the relegation of the Russians from the Euroleague. Currently CSKA is trying to put itself in the factory next season, but in any case those who are not expected to be there are Zenit and Kazan. These are two teams with quite a few talented players whose stock has risen sharply in the year – the last two years As a result, the large free agent market that will be in the Euroleague this summer will be even bigger because of the situation.
Let’s go back to Maccabi Tel Aviv – if we try to understand what is happening these days in the corridors of Yad Eliyahu, we can reach a pretty clear conclusion: the Yellows do not intend to take part in the “first round” of the wave of signings. The reason? As you have seen most of the players we have talked about so far are some of the biggest names on the continent and it seems that Maccabi Tel Aviv will be waiting for the next wave of less exploding names, who are also expected to ask for less money.
Although it seems that so far they are sleeping in the yellow management, there are many more players in the market who are expected to move to another team during the summer. We have collected for you the interesting names of those who are expected to be “refugees” of the Russian teams: Billy Baron, Alex Poiters, Arturas Godaitis, Jordan Mickey, Mataus Ponitka, Lorenzo Brown, Isaiah Kanan, Alexei Sheved, Nikola Milotinov, Gabriel “Where” Lund Marius Grigonis and also Daniel Hackett, Toko Shang England, who may also continue at Virtus Bologna.
Beyond the list of players from Zenit, Kazan and CSKA (some of whom become free in the summer), here is also a list of prominent Euroleague players who can sign wherever they want this coming summer: Knight Walters, Chris Jones, Malcolm Delaney, Wade Baldwin, Mike James, Shane Larkin , Eli Okubo, Nick Weiler-Bab, Dante Axum, Tyler Dorsey, Nando de Colo, Kronoslav Simon, Alpha Dialo, Dwayne Bacon, Jeffrey Taylor, Dashon Thomas, Trey Tompkins, Augustine Robit, Kyle Haynes, Donta Hall, Oth Lou Hunter, Donatas Motionas.
