Reggio Emilia Fortitudo Bologna is courting Jamar Smith. It could move a few tens of kilometers onto the Via Emilia the 38th american guard now excluded from the rotations of the Una Hotels. And with little hope of returning, given the salary of the point guard Stephen Browndestined to take his place as play creator from the bench alongside the starters Cowpain and Barford.
Smith has been one of the best strikers seen in Europe in the last 15 years, in his first season in red and white he gave constant wondersin the second he struggled to recover from a long muscle injury and in this, the third, the physical decline was painfully feltpreventing him from providing his usual offensive contribution to the point of forcing the coach Priestto whom he remains very attached, to choose other paths. With the current eight foreigners, there would not even be room in the cup, where five local athletes and therefore a maximum of seven foreigners are required.
In A2However, the situation could be different, the enormous difference in athleticism would allow him to construct his perfect shots with his usual infinite class. And there Fortitudo Bolognadealing with various problems in the guard sector, has stepped forward. The starting US fullback, Lee Moorehas been out for some time due to injury and it seems he could be out for a long time, with a tail of controversy with coach Caja about his pain tolerance. The temporary substitute, Jordan Harrisgot hurt himself and now the deal is done. Bologna, to aim for promotion, needs a scorer. Smith would represent an ideal solution for all parties. In A2 he can have his say, he knows Italy and Emilia well and, not least, he has already played 5 matches in the championship and, as per the rules, therefore it does not require a visa for non-EU citizens. In A2 there are very few overall visas and must be managed with the utmost care. The player, on the other hand, could end his career by playing and gaining the last satisfactions. And do it without disrupting the family life structure, which is an absolute priority for him. His daughters attend a school in Emilia and playing in Bologna could allow the Smiths not to change the area and to maintain the educational path until the end of the school year. It would involve extending the journey to the arena by a few tens of kilometres.
Una Hotels, on the other hand, would save something on the salary and would avoid having to keep a person who has given so much to the team in recent years and who is continuing to behave in an exemplary manner in every context. There is no talk of imminent announcements, Fortitudo wants to delve into Moore’s clinical picture as best as possible but the discussion is ongoing, and could even see an acceleration. In this case, Reggio would find itself with seven foreigners and the position of Echeniqueproductive in attack but in great difficulty in defense, always to be evaluated. The Colombian center would have in the case a good marketboth in A, where it would not require a visa, and in Europe. l© ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
