Baskonia is on vacation. Yesterday the entire squad met, signed autographs in the shop in the city center and then went to have dinner at the restaurant in the sports city of Bakh. Peñarroya was there with his entire coaching staff as well as the players and various executives such as Félix Fernández, the Team Manager, and Alfredo Salazar, the head scouts. Good atmosphere among all and shame for having finished the season too soon. Joventut eliminated them.
The club can terminate the coach’s contract without a great financial burden because the team did not reach the semifinals of either the Cup or the ACB. Thompson, Howard, Marinkovic, Raieste, Sedekerskis, Kotsar and Costello have a contract for another year. Also Heidegger and Hommes but the club can unilaterally cut them this summer, which seems to be what is going to happen.
Giedraitis, Enoch, Kurucs and Dani Díez end their contract. His continuity is being negotiated with the man from Madrid because he is interested from all points of view. As a player, as a person and as a quota. The point guard Thompson points to Milan, who would be willing to pay his termination clause close to 600,000 euros and I would put a salary of more than a million euros on the table. In addition, this summer he will get an Italian passport.
There are also siren songs with some players. Nikolaos Rogkavopoulos It is on Salazar’s agenda and it seems that there is already a verbal commitment for two seasons, although other European clubs such as Alba, Panathinaikos, Olympiakos and Valencia have also set their sights on him. He hails from the same club Max Heidegger arrived from mid-season, Merkezefendi Bid from Denizli, Turkey.
