Big maneuvers ahead of the upcoming competitive season

Decisive moment in Olimpia’s market ahead of next season (Euroleague debut on Oct. 6). After collecting the no of Napier, who settled at Red Star, and losing the race for Thompson and Mirotic, respectively new players of Efes and Partizan, the red and white front office has turned to other profiles.

Agreements reached, as also confirmed by Gazzetta dello Sport, with Poythress and Lo. The former, wing/center, arrives from Maccabi where, due to a wrist injury, he was forced to stay in the pits for about four months. With an NBA background, he has the right physicality to help out under the boards.

Also watch out for Lo. Melli’s teammate at coach Trinchieri’s Bamberg, he is a highly reliable point guard. After three excellent seasons with the Alba Berlin jersey, he is ready to get involved with Olimpia Milano. On the court he can do everything, especially he has a great feeling for the basket. Two important grafts for AX, which still needs more pieces to complete its roster. The feeling is that coach Messina has clear ideas about what his team needs to present itself to the starting ribbons of the new season at its best. More news on the red and white market is expected in the coming days.
