After many ups and downs in the negotiations, which also included the interest of Panathinaikos, finally Stephan Lasme and Galatasaray announced their deal for next season.
It was obvious after the announcement of the deal between Panathinaikos and Kuzmic, that Lasme’s choice would be Galatasaray, which had offered him a better salary than the Greens. Since the 20th of July, Lasme had entered the final stage of negotiations with Galatasaray, but Panathinaikos even three days ago tried to get back into the picture.
Lasme who played last season for Anadolu Efes, is going to be the starting center of Galatasaray, which is building a competitive roster both for the Turkish league and the Eurocup.
