A new important update in the negotiations between Cska and Varese Basketball for Olivier Hanlan. Despite the rumours this morning, the red-and-white club have said yes to the Muscovite. This was reported by Sportando.
Olivier Hanlan is now on his way to Cska and Tom Bialaszewski loses his second attacking option: Hanlan averaged 18.7 points last season, second only to Nico Mannion, who played 12 games less.
Hanlan to CSKA Moscow is being finalized, I am told.
Varese will get a buyout— Emiliano Carchia (@Carchia) February 22, 2024
Barcelona are close to agreeing a contract extension with Jan Vesely, according to RAC1.
The 33-year-old, 2.10m Czech pivot, who joined Barca from Fenerbahce in the summer of 2022, had signed a three-year deal until June 2025, with an option for either party to leave in the summer of 2024.
The new negotiations are expected to remove that option. Vesely is considered a key player for coach Roger Grimau and has been in excellent form this season, averaging 12.9 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.4 assists and a 16.6 rating in the EuroLeague.
Pallacanestro Varese has rejected a significant financial offer from CSKA Moscow for Olivier Hanlan. This was reported by La Prealpina.
The Russian proposal, which included a four-month contract – the equivalent of Hanlan’s entire season at Varese – and a substantial buyout of around $100,000, was rejected by the Italian club with a polite ‘no thanks’.
This decision marks a departure from the past and underlines a change in the club’s attractiveness after the “great flight” of foreigners in 2021.
Unlike previous contracts with buy-out clauses, Hanlan’s is binding until 30 June, giving Varese control over his eventual transfer.
According to Orazio Cauchi, Olivier Hanlan is one of the profiles evaluated by CSKA Moscow to strengthen the backcourt.
The Russian team is back on the market to add a guard after Ware’s injury and the failure of the Barton deal.
Hanlan is the top scorer in the Italian league with 18.7 points per game, plus 4.2 assists and 4 rebounds in 29 minutes.
In FIBA Europe Cup, the 31-year-old Canadian under contract with Openjobmetis Varese is producing averages of more than 16 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists.
Cholet Basket has announced the departure of Craig Randall II.
The shooting guard was scoring over 16 points and 3 assists per game between BetClic Elite and BCL.
The French team is already looking for a replacement.
Craig Randall II ne reviendra pas à Cholet
Plus en phase entre les objectifs individuels du joueur et les objectifs collectifs de CB, Craig Randall II et Cholet Basket ont décidé d'un commun accord de mettre un terme à leur collaboration.

Rayjon Tucker, star of Umana Reyer Venezia, gave a long interview to Piero Guerrini of Tuttosport.
He also talked about his contract with the gold-granate team: ‘I have one year, but honestly I think I could stay for at least another one or two’.
Adonis Thomas and Bnei Herziliya are parting ways, a source told Sportando.
The Memphis product was averaging 6.3 points and 2.5 rebounds in 17 minutes per game.
VL Pesaro is in talks with Justin Wright-Foreman. The name, which had already emerged yesterday before Mockevicius’ farewell, is confirmed today in the Carlino newspaper.
According to the newspaper, the club has received the green light from coach Meo Sacchetti.
The 1997 born, 183-centimetres playmaker has played 12 games this season in the G League at an average of 18.3 points.
Openjobmetis Varese is actively looking for a reinforcement for the final rush of the season and among the main candidates is the South Sudanese forward Nuni Omot.
The latter, free of contractual obligations after leaving the French team of Roanne, presents himself as an interesting market opportunity for the team, thanks to his experience and performances in Europe and in the Basketball Africa League, where he distinguished himself as MVP with Al-Ahly.
On the other hand, the chances of signing Michael Gilmore, currently tied to Paok Thessaloniki, seem to be diminishing due to economic restrictions and his commitment to the Greek Cup.
