After losing the Israeli league, Maccabi Tel Aviv has a lot to decide and bringing local talent into the roster is a must. That’s why Israeli-American Alex Tyus seems to be ready to leave Cantu for the “team of the people”. According to oce.co.il he was offered a three year deal for 300.000 US dollars per season – something our sources also confirm – and Maccabi is also ready to pay his 50.000 US dollars buy out to the Italian club.
In Serbia, Crvena Zvezda announced a three year deal with Slovenian guard Jaka Blazic. The player left Olimpija Ljublana, which denied until the last moment any knowledge of the deal, and he is also expected to play in the NBA summer league as a member of Milwaukee Bucks’ team.
In Germany, league finalist Ewe Baskets Oldenburg, which is expected to participate in Euroleague’s qualifying round, is keeping Chris Kramer for one more season.
