Is Olimpia Milano Considering Langston Galloway?

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?

Ettore Messina released a statement about his words on Shabazz Napier reported by Italian media today. Napier criticized the coach.

“Regarding a statement attributed to me this morning by an Italian newspaper and then taken up by numerous websites, I would like to point out that, speaking about Shabazz Napier in front of some journalists and the reasons for his departure from Milan , I have never said or hypothesized that the player has expressed to anyone his desire to return to Olimpia. It was purely a journalist’s interpretation. I have the utmost respect for Napier, for Red Star and as a principle we never talk about players from other teams.”

ToShabazz Napier criticized Olimpia Milano head coach Ettore Messina on Instagram after the words reported by Italian press.

”Ok, I very it. Your team didn’t start the way you would like and neither have I but just stop using me as the reason. I’m dealing with my own difficulties at the moment as a player but I’m happy with Red Star and I will be better for them. Two statements about a player that’s no longer a part of the team just let it go.

Stop lying to your fans to fix your trouble ways.“

Bruno Caboclo’s Move to Partizan Faces Contract Hurdles with Reyer Venezia

Bruno Caboclo is leaning towards Partizan, but as previously reported by Sportando, there is no agreement with Reyer Venezia, which holds a valid contract.

As reported by Italian newspaper La Nuova in their latest edition: “Caboclo has a two-year contract with Reyer, and for at least the first year, there is no escape clause. The contract stipulates a salary of 800,000 euros per season with potential bonuses that could easily reach a million or more for the first year. For his potential signing with Partizan, the Serbian team and the player’s representatives, led by Daniel Hazan, must reach an agreement with the orogranata club (Reyer Venezia).”

As of now, no one has contacted the Venetian club. “Certainly, the amount required to release Caboclo from his contract with Reyer is very high, estimated at least one million, perhaps even one and a half million euros,” concludes the newspaper.
