The arrival of Thomas or Vildoza will increase Maccabi Tel's budget by about NIS 3 million
The Yellows continue their tests regarding the arrival of the American who is waiting for other offers and the Argentinian who has not played in the Milwaukee uniform and may be considered by other Euroleague teams.

Summary: Hapoel Tel Aviv - London Lions 59:76 (Sport1)
A week after the start of its official season, Maccabi Tel Aviv is busy behind the scenes with discussions and thoughts about the first change in the squad.
The Yellows will have to make a decision soon regarding the addition of a guard, with the candidates on the table being Matt Thomas and Luka Wildoza, a player for the Milwaukee Bucks.
The American is a free agent, but at this stage he is waiting for developments in the player market and it is very possible that his waiting will delay his arrival.
The Argentine signed an 'Exhibit 10' contract with Milwaukee in July, which guarantees him very little money in the development league, but some opportunity in the Bucks uniform.
Tonight (between Wednesday and Thursday) he did not play at all in the team's fifth loss as part of the preparatory games.
If he is sent to the development team, the entry of Maccabi Tel Aviv into the picture may cause him to ask to be released from the contract, but at the same time other Euroleague teams are on the agenda.
It is expected to require sums of a different order of magnitude.

It is believed that players who will be released from the NBA will take their time before choosing to sign with one team or another.
Facundo Campazzo, the most senior name currently on the player market, waited a long time for an appeal from the NBA and refused several offers he received, but in the last day it was announced that he is on the verge of signing a contract with the Dallas Mavericks for the season.
Tyler Dorsey is also expected to behave like him if he is released from Dallas, when Maccabi Tel Aviv said last night that it is estimated that Dorsey's contract will be outside the price range they are willing to invest.
This is where the budget issue comes in.
If a player is indeed added, he will come at the expense of Austin Hollins, one of the two cheapest foreigners in Maccabi Tel Aviv's squad this season.
The next player of the size of Wildosa or Thomas is expected to cost Maccabi about three times more, and together with the tax, this means an addition of about 3 million shekels to the particularly high budget this season.
Still, the club continues to seriously examine and test the possibility.
