Olympiacos: Dorsey and the free men of Monaco

The first target of the “Red and Whites” is the expatriate Greek goalkeeper, who is looking for a way to “break” his contract with the Turks.

Isaiah Kanaan completed his commitments with Olympiacos, and the American goalkeeper was released and left as a friend from the Grand Port. Now, Piraeus residents are turning to the market to find a replacement. The problem, of course, is that there are not enough players available on the market. Piraeus is currently in the market for a basketball player who will compete for the “2” position, having been the first to score a goal, but also an assist.

At the top of the list is his name Tyler Dorsey (28 years). For two reasons. Firstly, he has played for Olympiacos in the past, knows the team, and has a good relationship with Giorgos Barzoukas who is the shooting and scoring point guard. Secondly, he has a Greek passport, and Piraeus is “hungry” to strengthen its roster with local players. He is not a free agent, and has a contract with Fenerbahce, but the two sides are in discussions to “terminate” their contract. He finished the season with 8.7 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 1.2 assists.

Tyler Dorsey has had a falling out with coach Sarunas Jasikevicius, and a few weeks ago, he publicly expressed his desire to leave Istanbul. Information indicates that they are in discussions with him at the Grand Port, but in order to move forward, the player must gain his freedom first. However, the problem was that they were trying to get the Greek expatriate guard.

It is no exaggeration that Tyler Dorsey has had the best season of his career with Olympiacos. He averaged 12.8 points, making 51.7% on two-pointers, 37.4% on three-pointers, and 78.1% on steals. Add to all that 2.3 rebounds and 1.8 assists. He is a charismatic shooting and scoring player, an individual talent, has a breakout element to his game and can make the difference when the ball is on fire. At the same time, she also improved in terms of morals. Regarding the financial part, his demands are not exorbitant, ranging approximately 1,500,000 euros per year.

Monaco “Free”.

Another player competes in “2” and remains free Jordan Lloyd (30 years old), who was released from Monaco. This year he averaged 10.4 points, two assists and 2.7 rebounds. Another goalkeeper from Monaco is still free. The reason is his Eli Okubo (26 years old), who this year scored 11 points with 2.6 rebounds and 3.1 assists.

The names of Devon Hall (Milan) and Carsen Edwards (Bayern) are also on the list of free agents. There are no first line names in the guards. But do you want to go “bang”? You go out and attract players, whether they’re American or European, who play in the NBA, and you make a big splash, both competitively and socially. Next season is of special importance for Olympiacos. The club will complete 100 years of life
