News at home Virtus Segafredo Bologna where the new contract of the general manager is arriving Paolo Ronci, as reported by Il Corriere di Bologna. While waiting for the EuroLeague wild card to become official (we will have to wait for the next Assembly), the VNere have started to move on the market with various issues to resolve. The first to leave the team was Banchi’s deputy Lassi Tuovi, who will continue his career in Japan. Hunt for the first reinforcements: the hot name, already reported for days, is that of Tyrique Jonesan athletic big man who can leave Anadolu Efes (who took Smits and Vincent Poirier under the basket) and who coach Luca Banchi has already trained in Pesaro (for him 7.4 points and 4.3 rebounds in 17′ on average in the Euroleague).
Who’s leaving? – As reported yesterday, the future of Awudu Abass seems far from Bologna. Olimpia Milano is interested in the player but also several teams abroad (most likely option). Iffe Lundberg will leave the club, perhaps towards Partizan Belgrade (?), as will Jordan Mickey. And then the Toko Shengelia issue, with the VNere who can get out of the contract by paying 200 thousand euros in buyout.
