Olympiacos is close to finalize the deal with Patric Young for the next two years. The American center had as a priority to continue his career in the NBA, but decided to accept the offer by the Greek team.
Young made an excellent season with Galatasaray in his rookie professional season and wanted to wait until late July to sign with an NBA team. However, Olympiacos insisted, made him a very good offer and is close to sign him, as Chema de Lucas revealed.
The Reds will replace Bryant Dunston with Patrick Young who is expected to be the second signing of the team after DJ Strawberry.
