From Greece a rumor about the future of Kevin Pangos, point guard in the process of leaving Olimpia Milano.
According to LiveSport, Olympiacos would be interested in the Canadian point guard, apparently at the request of coach Bartzokas.
The Reds would like to strengthen the roster with a big man and a guard.
In case of a deal, Pangos could play in the Euroleague from January, when it will be possible to transfer players between teams of the competition.
Olympiacos is pushing on the Filip Petrusev front. Reported by sport24.gr, the news was also confirmed to Sportando.
Big man, 211 centimetres, born in 2000, after an initial approach with Efes, Petrusev made his mark in the EuroLeague last season, producing 10.7 points on average with 5.2 rebounds with Red Star.
In the summer he played the NBA card, picking up 3′ with the 76ers and 1′ with the Kings. On 10 November, he played in the G League with Stockton, collecting 10 minutes and no shots attempted.
With the Kings he has a contract of just over one million dollars that will only become guaranteed on 10 January.

According to sources Frank Jackson is accepting a lucrative offer in China that will be officially announced in the coming days.
The NBA vet was recruited to ASVEL by TJ Parker in an effort to upgrade their backcourt athleticism but Parker’s early season dismissal and the uncertainty of what would follow allowed for the opportunity to consider other options.
Jackson averaged 10.3 ppg in 20 minutes a game in the Euroleague shooting 75 percent from 2 PT and 32 percent from 3 PT.
Olimpia Milano in great crisis and looking for solutions to save a season that started badly. According to Sportando, Langston Galloway is also on Ettore Messina’s notebook.
The 1991 class from Baton Rouge started his experience in Reggio Emilia in a great way, with an average of 16.7 points, three games over 20 points in the last four.
A highly experienced shooting guard, could Galloway really be a solution for Olimpia Milano? The player has a contract with Reggiana until the end of the season, the club sportingly run by GM Claudio Coldebella has an important multi-year project with a former EuroLeague coach like Dimitris Priftis at the helm and as of today the player is not transferable.
In the next few hours, will the negotiation come to a head or will Olimpia Milano only stay on the play market?
Nutribullet Treviso is in advanced talks with Justin Robinson according with La Tribuna.
