Bartzukas, who remained true to his actions, words and “halima stories”

the Olympic A few days ago, he set out to acquire Naz Mitro-Lung from Zalgiris, while it seems that he is one breath away from acquiring Filip Petrusev, who was released from the Sacramento Kings.

Giorgos Barzoukas, as everything shows, adds two quality players to the red and white roster from the top shelf and with very great potential, as the Greek technician sees two great opportunities on the market and in cooperation with the management has not allowed them to go to waste. As you can see, the Olympiacos coach also made it clear in his statements before the match with Baskonia, that Olympiacos is looking at the market, but will not make a move just for the sake of making, unless there is a great opportunity and some players present themselves which will really help the team.

“We are mainly in the market because of the many accidents and injuries we have had this year. “We are in the market for an addition, but we will only do so with a player we think will help us,” Bartzukas said.

In particular, recently, when the takeover scenarios for both Mitro Long and Petrosev began, the discussion around Brzokas opened up due to the statements he made regarding the promotion of Olympiacos’ transfers and the injured. But the leading coach in the EuroLeague is one of the few who remains true to his actions and words, while “halima stories” continue to mark what he said.

Therefore, before the match against Baskonia, Barzoukas characteristically stated that Olympiacos is looking in the market for one or two players, while in order not to misinterpret his words (which were ultimately misinterpreted), he emphasized that he had no intention of selling any player. Among the current players are his players who helped Olympiacos overcome everything in Greece and play their best basketball in the last two years in Europe.

What Bartzukas said in detail:

“I have something and it doesn’t change. I trust and support the players who helped us win any national title. And when I say I support them, I mean that since McKissic is injured and out for a month and a half, I will replace him and take him out. I will never do that. He helped and was an important member of the team. The team for the last few years. I wouldn’t sell it. That’s over and done with. So is he. Whether we need to strengthen the squad and fill the time he’ll be out, the bosses have given me complete freedom to do that. Everything that looks like money isn’t being spent, I find ridiculous and unfair “.

Two players he wants, and this appears from the duration

Any discussion and any… narratives about the Olympiacos transfer (Petrushev is around the corner) are at least funny and have… promotional purposes, as Olympiacos “seized” two opportunities that appeared on the market, where they were already active and raising the quality of its roster. Just as Bartzukas said would happen. He’s got a player who will soon have a Greek passport and is close to a 23-year-old who has already won the EuroLeague and played in the NBA.

All that’s left is ‘let’s talk’, especially since Olympiacos has not played fully all season yet and is constantly having problems. It is easy to understand that if there are absences, those present are more burdened and the classic example is Thomas Walkup who played 35 minutes and more in previous matches, or Mustafa Fall who played 30+ when Milutinov was absent.

Olympiacos has created a project with Barzoukas’ exclusive signature that goes beyond the present and the long future, because after the transfers of Mitro Long and Petrusev, all players on the roster except Kanaan and Peters have a contract until at least 2025. And Loontzis, it’s only a matter of time before they negotiate a renewal. So perhaps Bartzukas knows something better than… the experts, because in the middle of the season he is signing contracts for the next three years with Mitro Long and Petrusev, which is proof of how much he wants them on the roster. Not only for this year but also for the coming years.
