What is the Olympiacos transfer plan and the Fournier-Vezinkov cases?

Tyler Dorsey was Olympiacos’ first transfer move. For many, this was expected, due to the already existing relationship between the player and the Reds and Whites, but – of course – due to the value of his Greek passport.

The 28-year-old goalkeeper replaces Isaiah Kanaan in the roster of Greek Cup winners, and comes to be added alongside Tomas Walkup, N’Jit Williams-Goss, Shaquille McKissic, Giannoli Larentzakis and Naz Mitro-Lunge in the starting lineup. Rotation of positions “1” and “2”.

Dorsey’s “gold” necklace.

As for his contract? She is three years old (2 + 1) and is older than Canaan, as she expects profits approaching $1.5 million annually during the first two years, rising to $1.7 million in the third year and exceeding bonus goals of $5 million for three years!

The addition of the Californian provides individual stature, direct scoring and a host of offensive solutions in general for Giorgos Bartzokas, but Olympiacos’ backcourt will be further strengthened.

Without haste, from now on, Olympiacos will proceed with some more important moves, and perhaps – one or two big deals.

Transport Design

According to his confirmed information Sport24 Olympiacos’ transfer plan (at the moment, I emphasize: at the moment, because these changes change a lot) anticipates:

* Waiting 48 hours to decide on Raptors – Vezenkov. If Sasha remains free, Olympiacos will do everything they can to sign him, even though they are full of numbers 4 and 5. You see, the best player in the Euroleague last year is the “jewel” that every team will put in its vault, regardless of the other players they have under guaranteed contracts…

* Review all the options available on the market for another player with the ability in the individual phase and direct scoring on the perimeter. Here comes the case of Evan Fournier (also difficult). The French star who according to some information was seen a week ago at Asteras Vouliagmeni, but has now returned to his homeland and joined the preparation program of the “Blue” before the Olympic Games! If he does not find a team in the NBA, Angelopoulos will offer whatever money is required to convince him to wear the red and white jersey, which he previously stated he wanted!

* Since the Fournier case is facing the same or perhaps greater difficulties than the Vigenkov case, Olympiacos is looking in the market for another player with these characteristics. It needs a point guard (1-2), or a good swing player (2-3) to be a force on the perimeter, where Keenan Evans will see if he can help from December onwards, hopefully.

* In addition, Giorgos Bartzokas and his teammates intend to promote one or two kids from the youth teams to the first team. Now that Abousi and Rozakias have gone to college, those who seem ready to be promoted and secure a place in the first team training are Spartalis and Stankovic.

The Free People and the Brazdeikis Case

* At the same time, Giorgos Buzikas is preparing for his annual trip to the Summer League in Las Vegas (every summer he receives an invitation from one of the NBA teams, as well as this year), while the rest of Bartzukas’ partners will implement a preparation plan for players who want to conduct individual training, Until the official start of preparation for the new season, which will take place at the end of August.

In conclusion, Olympiacos already has a large and stable body, is in no hurry (pending the final outcome of the Vyzhinkov issue) to move in the transfer field, is studying all the cases (even the American players who will be left without a team in the NBA) and will strike again in time to form a roster capable of returning it to the Final Four to claim the Euroleague, but also domestic titles!

The Angelopoulos brothers are determined to do whatever it takes to get the Piraeus club back to the top and they have full faith in the plan of coach B, whose contract they have summarily renewed until the summer of 2026!

* Michalis Lountzis has been released. Luke Sikma said an early goodbye. A team is being sought to pay Egi Brazdeikis most of the remainder of his contract, while Giorgos Tanoulis will also be loaned to Maroussi.
