After the storm of Wednesday, the transfer market in Euroleague was a bit slow on Thursday. Le Mans, a team from the qualifying round, made the most important signing of the day agreeing to terms with Khalid El-Amin. The 33 year old American has a lot of experience in Europe, so that the champions of France will be his ninth team and also he has never stayed to a team for more than two seasons. As you may remember he was a member of the 1999 UConn men’s basketball team that won the NCAA championship.
CSKA Moscow also acquired an experienced player in order to fill the void from the expected Kirilenko’s departure. Alexey Zozulin signed a contract for 1+1 years and he will be a good choice for Messina to come off the bench and help a little with his experience.
Finally, Panathinaikos announced the signing of 17 years old center Giovrgos Diamantakos, a prospect who is a future investment for the team.
