We offered him a contract but when we sent him the proposal my closest collaborators told me I was crazy\u201d Marino told Terzo Tempo Brindisi. \u201cI tried to sign a \u2018life pact\u2019 with Adrian. To have him here in Brindisi for the remainder of his career. But in basketball gratitude does not exist. Two years ago we signed a player that was almost at the end of his career and came from two \u2018colorless\u2019 seasons in Israel. We made him became the MVP and the top scorer of last Serie A season. We had two wonderful seasons that will remain in our hearts and also in Adrian\u2019s heart, I believe. The player and his family have chosen a new adventure in Bologna. We are sorry but we are going to start soon with a new project\u201d Marino added. \u201cWe are disappointed because we offered him two years plus a third one guaranteed. I wish Adrian the best of luck\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EC-VyWj7pfQ\" width=\"715\" height=\"500\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nando Marino: Two years ago we signed a player that was almost at the end of his career and came from two \u2018colorless\u2019 seasons in Israel.
