The 2021/2022 season is behind us, but the transfer market is not waiting for anyone and looks promising for next season.
The free agents, or with the option to be released from a contract, are already waiting on a shelf, and may receive reinforcement in the form of contract holders who will be cut and hit the market as well.
Tomer Ginat
Let us emphasize at the outset: The 28-year-old forward, who has played in the French Metropolitan 92 for the past two seasons, is a conditional cucumber.
He is wanted in Israel by Maccabi Tel Aviv, Hapoel Jerusalem and Hapoel Tel Aviv, but chances are he will not return, because he sees himself continuing in Europe and being upgraded to a bigger club.
More than once he has stated that his ambition is to play in the Euroleague team.
Gabi Chachashvili
The excellent "Chacha" (23), who is defined as the future center of the Israeli team, is at a crossroads.
He arrives after his debut season in the Premier League, and it has to be decided whether he continues to cook another season at Hapoel Galil Elyon, where he is guaranteed many minutes and a leading position, or he jumps to a bigger team.
All the big teams want him and he can make more money with them, but in the hierarchy he is likely to be in a low place and will have to fight for every minute of play.

Nimrod Levy
Like many and bigger than him, the move to Hapoel Galil Elyon did only good for Nimrod Levy (27), who, like the team, had a successful season.
He finished with the title of Israeli player of the season and a place in the top five of the season.
Now he has to decide whether he stays in the lead in the north, moves to a big team such as the champion Hapoel Holon, or even goes to Europe.
It should be taken into account that Levy is moving on a regular and unhealthy path to his career: failure / integration with Maccabi Tel Aviv and Hapoel Jerusalem and great successes at Maccabi Ashdod, Nes Ziona and the Galilee, with a team changing every season.
Gal Mekel
Since 2013, except for a season and a half at Maccabi Tel Aviv, Makal (34) has played outside of Israel and this could be a welcome comeback. Last season he played only ten games in Spanish Andorra, a result of late arrival and early release, along with quite a few injuries. "Tam is finished, and in Israel he will look for a group with ambitions.
It is likely that the big ones will not go for it, but he can match Hapoel Tel Aviv and Bnei Herzliya.
Guy Pnini
After lifting the championship plate, and just before the age of 39, Pnini does not automatically continue in Holon, but also does not intend to retire.
He made it clear that if the Purples wanted him he would be happy to stay, and that is the most plausible scenario of all, but if that did not happen Pnini would look for one last challenge in his career, which could be in the uniform of Bnei Herzliya.

Oz Blazer
At the age of 29, despite good games here and there, the chances that Blazer will continue at Maccabi Tel Aviv are not high. Teams that will want the laser they want in the 2022/2023 season, and the question is whether he will reach one of the biggest in the country or explore options to play abroad.

Michael Brisker
Let's be clear in advance: this is a potential cucumber.
Brisker (24), after a great season of progress at Hapoel Gilboa / Galil, can become a sought-after commodity, if he exercises the exit option he has in his contract.
He upgraded a lot last season, where he occasionally played as a coordinator, improved his penetration into the basket and learned not to base his game on shooting alone.
Brisker seems ready for the next stage, but on the other hand another season at Gilboa's school will further his game.
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
