Lagun Aro preparing for Liga Endesa

By Rigas Dardalis/ dardalis@eurohoops.net

Despite its valiant effort in the second half of the season. Lagun Aro couldn’t avoid the second to last place in Liga Endesa’s standings, but the next season may found the team for one more year in the big show. How can this be possible? The club from San Sebastian is ready to fill the paperwork to stay on the Spanish top division, because they believe that at least one of Alicante or Andorra, the two top teams of second division (LEB Oro) will not be capable to play next season in Liga Endesa. This is not a first. Alicante missed the chance to play in Liga Endesa also last season, because the club couldn’t get the letter of guarantee of 2,5 million euros. The official decision about this matter is expected to by announced by the liga Endesa in the next 10 days.

Coach Sito Alonso still has a contract for next season with Lagun Aro and he is already preparing his plans for next season. He would like to build a team around Brazilian guard Raul Neto, who is not only a great prospect, but also a “safe” financial solution since his contract for next season costs less than 100.000 US dollars. Of course, if an other team wants to buy him, then Lagon Aro will probably be ready to sell him.

The same applies to Lucas Nogueira in Madrid. Estundiantes faces a lot of financial difficulties and cashing a buy out for the Brazilian center would be more than helpful for the team
