The
Real Madrid
begins to move ahead of the upcoming season in anticipation of what might happen in the two competitions that are left to play, the Endesa League and Turkish Airlines EuroLeague after tying and an agreement with the base Thomas Heurtel now at ASVEL as an Olympic springboard after being cut by Barça.
They want to reinforce several positions and a priority is that of the base-escort combo.
Sergio Llull, now injured, will continue to be linked to the club except for a major surprise.
With the signature of Heurtel and the continuity of Alocén, the one who is more outside than inside is
Nico Laprovittola
.
Both Causeur (between 1 and 2) and Rudy (between 2 and 3) will have a contract in force next year, but the string of physical problems endured and that in reality a replacement has not been signed for Facu Campazzo make the club want invest there (ignoring that even Abalde has played minutes in the position of director).
A name comes to the fore (also Nedovic, but the positions are not close) who was already linked to the club two years ago:
Vasilije Micic
.
SER Deportivos
(
Cadena SER
) points out the possibility that the Serb could join the white team.
Micic was the most appetizing option in 2019, as
AS
reported
, a priority target, but he stayed at Efes after a lucrative renovation.
The figure handled in Serbia is 2.5 million euros
.
It is made possible by what
Heurtel
costs
, less than what he earned in Barcelona, what
Llull
would be lowered
, to a lower level than his previous salaries, and what they would save with
Laprovittola
, who arrived as MVP of the ACB when agreed to his salary at the white club.
In the absence of a player who helps Tavares better than
Tyus
and other possible incorporations not yet tested, the main lines go through here.
The situation of Vasilije Micic
At Anadolu Efes he shares a position with
Shane Larkin
.
Just as last season it was the American who was aiming for
MVP
, in this campaign - especially since the new year began - it is the Serbian who dominates.
He comes from being the best at the Palau against
Barça
, which is the leader of the standings, and from breaking his points and valuation records in the Turkish duel against
Fenerbahçe
.
In the European competition he is currently averaging
16.1 points
and has two consecutive MVP awards.
It is
the mainstay that keeps Efes in the top eight: 7th at 15-10, far from the leadership
it held before the coronavirus pandemic exploded.
This summer he will be a free agent, so he has to find a place.
His agent is the same as Heurtel's,
Misko Raznatovic
, who has already taken the Frenchman to Madrid.
The NBA is still something to consider for him, but the jump is complicated and more after
his rights were transferred from the Sixers to the Thunder last fall
.
Micic is
27 years old
, so he can put up with an eventual American adventure a little longer.
