As it prepares for the final of the State Cup and in the midst of the playoff struggles in the Euroleague, Maccabi Tel Aviv continues to try to ensure that the skeleton built this season will continue for years to come.
The Yellows have already signed Roman Sorkin and Lorenzo Brown to new contracts, negotiations with Wade Baldwin continue, and at the same time, it is claimed in Europe, talks are taking place with two other actors: Bonzie Coulson and Alex Poithers.
According to the report of "Basketnews" reporter Orazio Kaoki, the two may sign new contracts soon.
The 27-year-old Coulson joined Maccabi Tel Aviv last summer from the Turkish side Karshiaka and signed a two-year contract.
In his first season in the Euroleague, he is averaging 10.8 points and 5.3 rebounds per game.
In recent times Coulson has been at his peak personally, putting up improved numbers.
Will they both continue?

As far as Poithers is concerned, these are somewhat surprising reports.
The 30-year-old center (2.06) injured his palm in December, underwent surgery and has been out of action since then.
He is not expected to return until the end of the season.
Poithers was the Yellows' first signing of the summer, and he joined on a two-year contract, like Coulson.
The talks about a contract extension talk about a contract with a low salary compared to what he is currently earning.
