Košarka više nikada neće zvučati isto. Otišao je čovek uz čiji smo glas još više zavoleli ovu igru i čovek koji je bio sinonim za strast prema košarci. Počivaj u miru, dobri čoveče. 💔🕊️
🇺🇸 6-8 forward RaiQuan Gray is heading to PAOK on a two-year deal, bringing one of the most complete forwards in European basketball to Thessaloniki.
The 26-year-old American had a standout season with AEK Athens across two competitions - averaging 12.9 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 3.1 assists per game in the Basketball Champions League while shooting 50.9% from the field, and backing that up with 12.6 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 1.6 steals per game in the Greek League. Consistent, efficient, and impactful on both ends - Gray was one of the best all-around forwards in Greece this season.
PAOK is getting a versatile, high-motor forward who can score inside and out, create for others, defend multiple positions, and impact the game in every phase. Two years of that in Thessaloniki is a serious statement of intent.

🇺🇸 7-0 center Marcus Bingham Jr. is close to finalizing a two-year deal with Maccabi Tel Aviv worth $900,000 per season, with an option for an additional year (@givati_tomer) .
The 25-year-old American big man is coming off a breakout season with UNICS Kazan in the VTB United League, where he averaged 15.5 points, 7.2 rebounds, 1.7 blocks, and 1.3 steals per game while shooting an incredible 64% on two-pointers and 36.2% from three. A 7-footer who can protect the rim, rebound at an elite level, and step out to the perimeter - Maccabi is landing one of the most physically imposing and versatile bigs on the European market.
Bingham already knows what winning in Israel looks like, having been part of Hapoel Tel Aviv's EuroCup title-winning squad. Now he's heading to the Yellow and Blue for the biggest challenge of his career - and with his size, athleticism, and production, the EuroLeague stage suits him perfectly.

🇸🇳 6-3 guard Brancou Badio is the top target for both Crvena Zvezda and Panathinaikos this summer - and after watching what he did this season, it's easy to understand why.
The 26-year-old Senegalese guard played all 40 EuroLeague games for Valencia Basket this season, averaging 11.2 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 2.2 assists per game - one of the most durable and consistent guards in the entire competition. Valencia has a high buyout in his contract, but that hasn't stopped the interest from piling up. Panathinaikos has been in talks, but Crvena Zvezda is the more concrete option right now and is actively pushing to get a deal done.
A guard who delivers 11+ points across a full 40-game EuroLeague season doesn't come available often. Whoever lands Badio this summer is making a serious upgrade in their backcourt.

Top 10 Sophomores Primed to Breakout Next Year: @gwizzy12 and @thatboydhill dropped some of their favorite sophomores they think can take the next step.
🇺🇸 6-9 center Mady Sissoko is in advanced negotiations to join Real Madrid for the ACB Playoffs, with Los Blancos identifying him as their preferred target following the serious injury to Usman Garuba.
The 24-year-old American-Malian big man just wrapped up his first professional season with Pallacanestro Trieste - and what a debut it was. In the FIBA Champions League he averaged 13.0 points, 8.7 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks per game, while in the Italian Serie A he posted 10.1 points and 7.2 rebounds per night. He did it all shooting 64% from the field and 76% from the free-throw line - elite efficiency numbers for a center in his very first professional season.
Real Madrid is going back to the market for the second time this season to fill their frontcourt, and Sissoko is exactly the type of physical, high-motor big they need for the playoff stretch. Raw, powerful, and only getting better - if this deal goes through, Los Blancos are getting a serious piece.

VTB League coverage just got serious. 🏀
Teaming up with @SBG_DAILY - hands down the best source for VTB League content. If you're into Russian basketball, this is your guy.
Excited for what we're building together. More coming soon. 🔒
🇫🇷 6-8 big man Livio Jean-Charles is one of the most sought-after free agents on the European market this summer, with several EuroLeague clubs already in the race to sign him - and Crvena Zvezda is among them.
The experienced French center put up 11.8 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists, and 0.5 blocks per game in the VTB United League this season - a well-rounded, consistent performer who brings physicality, versatility, and winning experience to any roster he joins. A big man who can defend multiple positions, rebound, and contribute offensively without needing heavy usage is exactly the type of player that competitive EuroLeague teams hunt for every summer.
If Crvena Zvezda manages to land him, they're adding a proven professional with a winning mentality and the kind of all-around game that elevates an entire roster.

🇸🇳 6-3 guard Brancou Badio is coming off one of the best individual seasons of his career with Valencia Basket, and the market for him this summer is heating up fast.
The 26-year-old Senegalese guard appeared in 40 EuroLeague games this season, averaging 11.2 points, 2.6 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 0.6 steals per game - consistent, high-level production across a full EuroLeague campaign that has put him on the radar of some of the biggest clubs in Europe. Panathinaikos has been in talks to land him, but Crvena Zvezda is now the more concrete option, with the Red and White side actively pushing to make a deal happen.
Valencia has a high buyout clause in his contract, but given what Badio showed this season, clubs are willing to find a way. A guard who can score, create, and defend at EuroLeague level across 40 games doesn't hit the market often - and Belgrade might be his next destination.

🚨 RADONJIĆ IS DONE. The management of Zenit is leaning toward parting ways with head coach Dejan Radonjić before the end of the season.

🇺🇸🇦🇲 6-2 guard Chris Jones has signed with Crvena Zvezda, according to reliable sources, bringing one of the most consistent performers in this season's EuroLeague to Belgrade.
The 33-year-old American just wrapped up a strong campaign with Hapoel Tel Aviv, appearing in 42 EuroLeague games and averaging 10.0 points, 4.2 assists, 2.0 rebounds, and 0.9 steals in just 20.5 minutes per game - with an 11.8 PIR that underlines how efficient and impactful he was every time he stepped on the floor. For a guard coming off the bench in limited minutes, those numbers are seriously impressive.
Crvena Zvezda is landing a proven EuroLeague guard who can score, create, and defend at the highest level. Jones brings exactly the kind of experience and production that competitive EuroLeague rosters need in the backcourt.

🇺🇸🇧🇬 6-3 point guard Codi Miller-McIntyre is heading to Olympiacos, and the Greek club just landed one of the best playmakers in the EuroLeague.
The 31-year-old American had an outstanding season this year, appearing in 39 EuroLeague games and averaging 12.6 points, 7.4 assists, 4.5 rebounds, and 1.0 steals in 31 minutes per game. A 7.4 assist average puts him among the elite floor generals in the entire competition - a guard who controls the tempo, creates for everyone around him, and does it consistently night after night across a full EuroLeague season.
Paired with Jean Montero in the backcourt, Olympiacos is building something genuinely dangerous for next season. Two of the most dynamic guards in European basketball on the same roster - the Piraeus side means serious business.

🇺🇸🇷🇸 6-8 forward Milan Momcilovic has withdrawn from the NBA Draft and is returning to college basketball - and the race to land him is officially on.
The Iowa State junior is coming off one of the most efficient individual seasons in college basketball, averaging 16.9 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 1.0 assists per game while shooting 50.6% from the field and 48.7% from three-point range. At 6-8 with that kind of shooting stroke, many believed the NBA was his next stop - but Momcilovic has decided to go back, and now he's the No. 2 transfer in the entire portal.
Kentucky is firmly in the mix, alongside St. John's, Louisville, and Arizona - but of all the schools involved, UK arguably offers the best systematic and personnel fit, and can put the biggest money on the table. Many people around the situation believed the NBA was Kentucky's toughest competition for Momcilovic. Now that the draft is off the table, Wildcats fans have every reason to be excited.
