Olympiacos seems to have reached an agreement with Kostas Antetokounmpo, a Greek centre renowned for his energy and athleticism. This further strengthens Olympiacos’s centre position.
According to Eurohoops, the parties have reportedly agreed on a two-year contract.
Following Nikola Milutinov’s departure, the red-and-white club is now ready to add a centre to its frontcourt. Meanwhile, Filip Petrusev remains with the team, at least for the time being, and his agent, Misko Raznatovic, has denied rumours that his client is set to leave the Greek club. Despite these denials, however, everything suggests that the Serbian centre could change teams over the summer.

In response to the transfer rumours linking him to Red Star and Dubai Basketball, Petrusev’s agent, Misko Raznatovic, labelled the news as fake in a post on his X account, citing the player’s desire to return to the NBA.

In May, Nemanja Nedović had signed a two-year, low-price deal with Crvena Zvezda, convinced he would remain at the heart of the Serbian project. The deal seemed secure after the management’s yes.
After the ABA semifinal and championship defeats against Budućnost, the club told Nedović to look for a new team. It was a move that displeased the player, given the closing rosters in the Euroleague.
Now the situation is in the hands of agent Miško Ražnatović, who is working to find a solution for all parties. The reasons for the turnaround that led to this sudden break remain unknown.

What was set to be a questionable summer move has now been ruled out: the Denver Nuggets have informed Jonas Valanciunas’ agents that they intend to honour the player’s existing contract with the NBA franchise.
This means that the Lithuanian centre will not be moving to Panathinaikos, the Greek club that had sought to sign him and had even reached an agreement with him.
According to Shams Charania, the Denver Nuggets consider Valanciunas to be an important member of their team, and the perfect player to play alongside Nikola Jokić when the Serbian superstar is not on the court.
06/07/202519:28
Valencia could change playmakers next season, as the future of Chris Jones is still uncertain. According to Las Provincias, the club is considering invoking the release clause in the Darius Thompson’s contract.
The club is considering one name above all others as the ideal replacement for Jones: Darius Thompson, a point guard who is leaving Anadolu Efes and has also been linked with Olimpia Milano and Virtus Bologna in recent weeks.
The alternative, according to reports, would be Sylvain Francisco, who has previously worked with coach Pedro Martínez. Everything will depend on the future of Chris Jones.
